Danno, IMO, if you've never gotten a grant from any one of these organizations, you're just not a diverse fella.

Minorities have had the door shut in their faces for centuries. These things were created because they weren't allowed in.

Actually if you were to check you would see a huge number of Black organizations were created within the last few decades.

Isn't it time we stop dividing ourselves by something as meaningless as color?

Why would you need a Black bowling league ?

Or Black RV club?

No doubt this is true in your zip code.

no doubt? this is so silly. the mayor of boyce is black, despite only whatever miniscule portion you posted of our population being minority. i wonder how the hell that happened?

How many white bowling leagues have black members? How many white RV clubs have black members?

That should answer your question.

[decocker 7,198]

I feel ya.

and how does it feel to contradict yourself?

[Danno 1,228]

How many white bowling leagues have black members? How many white RV clubs have black members?

I wouldn't know the answer to that... want me to research it?

Is there any evidence that would change your mind?

Maybe they arent good enough?

And if so, why chose color to create the base of a league? Thats discrimination. If I make a white only cafe or gym, how would that come across?

Mao also said "Power grows out of the barrel of a gun,"

We on the other hand are handicapped by a democracy.

The gun nutters believe the former much more than the latter.

And maybe they were. That you don't know. But you think anyone that is hired by AA is under qualified, even though AA helps white women more than anything else.

I seriously doubt that they would not be admitted if they were.

What if we started demanding that NBA has more whites, and less black, and that it isnt ethnically diverse enough? Or make a white only league?

Yes, I think anyone hired under AA is under-qualified. I'd rather wash dishes in a restaurant, than get a teaching job mainly because of my gender, although I am less qualified than a white male.
