PS you don't have to be the race that the group is supposed to represent just to be in it. There were plenty of white people in the asian clubs at my college.

I know what you mean. I highly doubt that frat has > 5% non black population. Just my guess. I'd rather there just be a National Association of Accountants...crazy idea I know...

Hmmm, knowing how 98% of black people don't keep bank accounts, don't trust ANYONE with their money, they may need the NABA to somehow convince them that the Man isn't out to get their money (well, them exclusively. The Man wants all our monies 🙁)

accountant =/= banker

like I said, they don't trust ANYONE handling their money. What's an accountant if not a middle man between their money and the Man?

By the way, you've been timewarping like a bastard today.

Accountants just tell you what you're doing with your money and how much tax you owe! They don't touch it at all.

Look, you're preaching to the choir, but tell that to the paranoid and the deluded.

Hey man, I'm just telling it like it is.

you realize that it's precisely because blacks are a minority that it is fine and not racist.

So...do black athletes not have business managers, etc?

you do realize it is bullshit affirmative action based segregation, right?

what makes it right to make all these groups for minorities, just because they are minorities?
it's essentially new age segregation, and the minorities get a lot of schooling benefits.
plenty of white people find themselves in the same social situations as some of the people who are a minority. yet they get the shaft because they aren't a minority. Being a low income white individual gets you very little assistance other than government tuition assistance, for example. yet being a low income black individual gets you all these crazy scholarship opportunities and other related bullshit.

It's doing the reverse of what the original affirmative action concept called for. By segregating opportunities and organizations as they currently do, they are slowly the integration of all minorities into the same social organization as whites. Which is completely fucked up.
Everyone should be on completely even ground, let the qualified individuals earn their keep. All impoverished individuals should get the same equal opportunities.
All organizations for minorities should be completely down away with, instead, force them to completely integrate with equal organizations. Sure, that means they'll be surrounded by less of their same minority, but why does that even matter?

Are you being serious or sarcastic? Because I honestly cant tell.
I recall not too long ago we adressed this issue and it seemed we had an aweful lot of stupid, ignorant, PC-brainwashed people in this forum.

But sarcasm doesnt work in text so I have to check each and every time.

This was the one I was thinking about. There are plenty others of course, but this one was a typical P&N thread that occured outside P&N, so it struck me as unusual at the time.

as a black man myself, ever time I see an association created that amplifies the distinction between white people and black people...I die a little bit on the inside.

Stop with the _____ black society _____ already!!! It's fuckin' stupid! Slavery is dead, get over it my fellow negros!! Geez!!

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

Reminds me of of SBE and SWE. They are social groups, not real professional groups. They're there to do professional networking and not much more. If you're a EE/CE major, you join IEEE. If you're CS/CE you join ACM. ChemE majors joins AIChE. Those are the real professional groups and the ones that matter.

Also did you ask if you could join? If not, weak rant.

There were so many guys in SWE at my college it was pretty funny. There were even a few male officers. There were pretty much only two reasons to be in the club if you were a guy: 1) lots of girls obviously, 2) networking.

BFT - If you're really black, then this is a mind-blowing statement.

I have thought this myself for years. I have lived in cities with strong black populations (L.A. and Washington D.C.), and have known many black people. Not ONCE have I ever heard anything to this effect come out of the mouth of one of them.

Yes, it is true. My dad and I think the same thing. I'm actually half, but he is 100%. We both hate it.

Or in my case the National Association of Polish Accountants.

I could of swore there was like some time period where the blacks fought for integration or something like that...


.....way to step backwards.

Women did it too.
They fought for equality then realized they didnt actually like it. Now they just want all the benefits of both with the penalties of neither.

But surely they face unmentional obstacles when it comes to employment, being constantly discriminated against...if only there was a law that required companies to hire black people even if there is a better-qualified non-black candidate...yeah if only..

So what do you suggest we do? because these laws you speak on don't help them at all. Does it give them job offers they wouldn't have otherwise? Yes, but the exact opposite happens for 95% of the rest of the jobs. In a perfect world we wouldn't need A.A. but without it they have no chance. FUCK BLACK PEOPLE for wanting a fair shot right?!! I speak as a white person who has gotten 2 jobs over people of color who were far more qualified. Gee, I wonder how that happened?? But to be fair in one of the instance the person of colors resume was never looked at because the name sounded too black. So they didn't actually know they weren't hiring a more qualified person.

No, fuck black people for feeling entitled to something they aren't qualified for because of self inflicted racism (blacks are about the most racist people you will ever know). It only keeps them down by having a victim mentality.

How is jobs refusing to hire somebody because they're black self inflicted racism? I can't count how many jobs I've had over the years I wasn't qualified for. Outside of the 2 I know about, I'm sure there were others where I got the job over a higher qualified black person. A.A. benefits me 99/100 times because the percentages are so skewed in my favor. And while yes black people can be racist, the Asians I see out here are a 100 times worse and nobody makes much of a stink out of it at all.

So you honestly think that black people are not hired for 95 percent of the jobs that they apply for because they are black?

How do you know any of that, and how do you think that your own personal experience is proof of systematic discrimination?
