There is one thing i've always been curious about. Growing up in small town white America as I have I never really had the closeness with anyone that was black to ask them. (Now, this question could apply to Asian, Fat, etc. but since the discussion is about Blacks I thought I might could get an answer)

This is in no way stereotyping it's just a question which I would like a real answer to...

Why is it that there are events/organizations like The Miss Black USA pageant, United Negro College Fund, All Black Fraternities, etc. (there are also other races/cultures that have specialized events/organizations). These things are great at assisting people in rejoicing over their heritage or learning more about their cultures. But, if there ever was a Miss White America pageant or a white sorority that there were no blacks admitted to wouldn't that tend to bring the ACLU and other civil liberty groups into full action attack and that would be considered a violation of a black persons civil rights.

On the flip side though if a white or other race of person sued a black organization wouldn't they be villified for trying to be "superior" or some other equally absurd accusation and be laughed out of any court system in the nation?
