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?

its quite simple really... most everything you see is dominated by white participation & often that is due to the institution of racism. white people know it exists today & in some small part, many participate in it not because they WANT to be racist, but because its the "norm". "special" ethnic pageants & other functions give minorities the opportunity to participate and excel without the possibility of institutionalized racism.
when this will end? possibly when racism in america ends but you can tell by this thread that won't be happening anytime soon. minorities feelings about racism are REACTIVE whereas many whites racism is PROACTIVE, meaning minorities simply are racist because they feel they are hated by whites & many whites simply hate someone because they are a minority (ie. of dark skin tone).
that's why i find it funny when white men on this board get angry & lash out when i state facts about history. i'm not placing blame nor did i say "the white man is the devil" LOL. white men have done much in advancing society and no one denies that. notice how white men love to take credit for the "good" but constantly ignore the "bad". why? because its ok for them to kill a few people to get what they want and "advance" society right? as i said in a previous post... the white man gave money value, other peoples of the world simply mimmicked these ways & still mimmick this material greed & degrade their society in the name of "advancement". did you ever stop to think that life IS actually BETTER the simpler you make it?
i'm not saying this applies to ALL people, just enough people to keep the shit going. anyway, i stated the facts & if you're mad, you're just mad...... i'm sure you'll still smile in my face & pretend you like me even though you'd rather string me up when i meet you at a convention. y'all can have it
