For clarity, once again, I do not mind in the slightest that Blacks have their own special-interest groups and choose to segregate themselves. It is completely natural for them to do so so. My issue is that Whites are begrudged, condemned, and ridiculed for doing the same. For example, Black Entertainment Television and The Congressional Black Caucus are celebrated by the media and the political elite. Would similar White institutions receive a commensurate reception? jlallen wrote: Go ahead and form any of those groups you mention.. No one is stopping you.........the First Amendment goes both ways.... Are you actually saying that a White Entertainment Television and a Congressional White Caucus would meet with the same approval? Let's assume that a Black wanted to join the (hypothetical) Congressional White Caucus and was denied admittance on the basis of his skin color. Would he have grounds for a discrimination lawsuit? Do the Whites that were actually denied Congressional Black Caucus membership have equal grounds for a discrimination lawsuit? Please advise. jlallen wrote: As for the rest of your silliness.....maybe you should read a history book sometime..... What are you specifically suggesting that I would find? Perhaps stories of slavery, where Africans sold their own families and tribesmen into slavery for trinkets back in the 19th century and earlier? Perhaps European White-Anglo slaves who were captured by Muslims and brutally enslaved across North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula? Perhaps 50+ years of affirmative action and racial politics in the United States that affords all Blacks on our soil a free ride for life? Please speak clearly, man. History is filled with interesting stories, and most are not very pleasant.
