The trouble is Jlallen you live in NH that has 1.1% black population. When local local paper comes out and they have the crime stats for the week. Is EVERY suspect the police are looking for Black, like it is here ? Do gangs of black flash mob and rob the 7-11s and beat up old white women ? I had a aunt in law who lived in Minn. in the 70s and 80s she would say to me, why do people dislike blacks at the time there was 1% blacks in Minn. then in the 90s and 00s manyblacks moved there. This aunt then said, wow what is it with those blacks, they don't work our taxes are going up, crime is off the charts, I can't go down town anymore and walk around. This woman was very sophisticated her father was attn general for the state, she had a masters degree and considering she went to college in the 30-40s that was something. But she was clueless because she didn't see it day in and day out. My sons know not to go to maybe half of the state they always looked at me like I was crazy, until they got jumped by 8 blacks on the Campus of the University of Maryland. All of their friends have been jump by groups of blacks at one time or another. ALL OF THEM, that's never happened before. Not when I was a kid. Have your daughters been jumped by gangs of blacks ? probably not since you only have 1% blacks

That is an asinine comparison and you know it. The Sons of Italy are not a congressional lobby that lobbies for the exclusive civil rights of Whites (or for the exclusive civil rights of White Italians, for that matter). Nor does your group forbid Black membership or publish a periodical that is carried in the checkout lane at the grocery. Suffice it to say that the Sons of Italy does not constitute a Whites-only group, even if your membership is 100 percent White Italian-Americans. In contrast, the Congressional Black Caucus exists solely to politically lobby Congress exclusively on behalf of Blacks. Whites are forbidden to join, period. Whites have attempted to join and were told, "You cannot join. You are White." Would the Sons of Italy tell a Black man who claimed Italian heritage, "You cannot join because you are Black"? Absolutely not. Likewise, Essence, Jet, and Ebony publish periodicals that appear in the checkout lane of the grocery and at news stands. Those are exclusively Black publications for Blacks. Clearly, your comparison and logic are flawed. And is that really the best example you can come up with; the Sons of Italy?
