As soon as whites start congregating it is discrimination.

Amen and Amen

if they allow it for other races I don't see why they would not allow an all caucasian club providing they go through the motions and the proper channels...

This is why I think any use of race in anything other than as a personal descriptive (comparable to blond hair, etc) should be illegal. Period.


Don't even need to use it then. I never use color or race to describe someone. It has nothing to do with their character or personality.

I have been waiting for years for something like this to happen.

This could quite possibly be a very significant event in this country's legal system.

I, for one, wish this organization well. It's about time to expose the double standard of race in this country. Apparently it's fine to be race-biased, unless that bias favors whites.

The NAACP quoted in this article is the biggest bunch of hypocrasy I've heard in a long time.

I will be watching this story with great interest. (I'll bet no one would have complaied if she were trying to start a women's organization instead of a caucasion one.)

I still don't get how people seem to be fixated on noose=racist symbol. There were alot of whites hung by nooses, especially in my hometown (nickname: old hangtown)

I see no problem with this really...and it is not like caucasians are the dominant race on the planet either, just the wealthiest one.

We're not a minority, so we don't get the support from society...

doesn't make much of a difference to me, I'm by no means a supporter of "clubs" for any ethnic background, with the exception of someone trying to find their roots. If you're looking to join one of these clubs to be around "your kind" then that's the kind of thing that's counterproductive to what our country and society stand for. I like being with people of many different backgrounds, I don't like to limit myself to socializing with only white people. My gf is Cambodian, many of my best friends are either Puerto Rican or Dominican, and I'd never have it any other way, I don't like isolating ethnicities, and that's why I don't like clubs that do...


umm... *steps off of soap box* :eek:

True, but as a visual description it's effective. I don't see how mentioning a person's skin colour in that sort of way is any different than noting that someone has red hair or is short or tall. None of those have anything to do with a person's character, but they are all immensely helpful in visually identifying a person.

We had a white club in our HS, it was called the Christian Club. Everybody knew it was the white club, no asians, no minorities were in that club. And this is in the bay area

I remember a few years back the NAAWP, which is on the lines of this topic. I googled it and they still exist:

NAAWP.ORG

NAAWP BELIEFS

The white majority must have a national organization that defends it's rights, values, and heritage.

Does it shock you that we actually used the word WHITE?

In describing ourselves, we have been taught to avoid that word like the plague. If we dare even mention our "White Heritage" we could be called a racist or a bigot. However, if a minority talks about defending their civil rights, or preserving their heritage, or instilling racial pride in their children, no one would even give it a second thought. In fact, the proud minority is likely to be praised.

We don't condemn minorities - we want the best for them, both from a compassionate Christian-point-of-view, and because if they escape from the cycle of poverty, drugs, and crime - then we too will be better off.

At the same time, we know that:

*The welfare system of rewarding irresponsibility and illegitimacy only increases poverty instead of alleviating it.

*Lowering standards to accommodate poorly achieving minorities harms everyone.

*Discriminating against whites is as morally wrong as it is against blacks, Hispanics, Asians, or anyone else.

*Increased minority crime is destroying the social fabric of America.

*Forced integration and unrestrained immigration destroy schools, neighborhoods, cities, and ultimately nations.

*High, illegitimate, minority birthrates - if allowed to continue - will one day make them the majority and give them political control of our country - just as they now control major cities.

*Unless stopped now, massive illegal immigration from the Third World will surely make America more like the Third World rather than the nation of our forefathers.

We are not ashamed of the fact that we have a deep love for our heritage, and although we will always respect the rights of others, we are not ashamed to stand up for our rights and those of our children.

It is time to act; the NAAWP is the only organization unashamed of standing up for our heritage. The first task of the organization is to inform the American people of the truth on the vital issues facing us, and The NAAWP has made great strides toward this goal.

We urge you to join the NAAWP and subscribe to the beliefs that will enlighten and motivate millions of other Americans to the truth.

It's not illegal to be White......YET ! It only seems like it!

But what do you think is in store for your children's future? Will they have rights? Will they have a heritage to be proud of?

THINK ABOUT IT!

The National Association for the Advancement of White People is a non-violent civil rights organization demanding:

"Equal Rights for All
Special Privileges for None"

We care enough to make an effort for your rights - which are rapidly eroding, every day in America. Aren't you sick of reverse discrimination, busing, minority welfare rip offs, massive immigration, gun control, anti-white movies & TV shows? Do you want to see America become like Mexico or South Africa, or Uganda?

Impossible?

Examine nonwhite birth rates and immigration. America is heading toward becoming another third world nation... in the name of "diversity"!

"It's not racist because we're not excluding anyone, and we're just trying to solve the issues of racial disparity,'' McClelland said.

As long as they're not excluding anyone, I see no problem with it.

If there can be a Black Club/Black Student Assocation, I see no reason why there shouldn't be a Caucasian Club/Caucasian Student Association.

Hello, did you fail History in HS or something?

When has the "white" people not oppressed minorities in America? I guess you forgot about the Separate but Equal years, and don't believe in Equal Pay for Equal Work.

Funny that the article mentions being proud of your heritage's history.
rolleye.gif
Yeah, be proud of your history of oppression.

Its more socially acceptable for minorities to have these types of clubs because OMG they are minorities. :Q
