What's racist about black people freely organizing to advocate for issues that are important to them?

Wake me when they begin to advocate for blacks only toilets.

That would be darkly humorous because they had them in the 60's and hated it.

I wasn't around back then, but I thought the toilets were whites only.

Separate but equal, HC. Separate but equal.

Oh, and by the way, if you're calling Tavis Smiley racist you're just plain ignorant. Carry on.

He has always focused on black issues and black causes; this is hardly news.

Calling this racism is like calling the Anti-Defamation League anti-Semitism. Minorities band together for common cause. Unless they are meeting to talk about ways to hold down another race, it ain't racism.

Tavis Smiley is a racist now?

Bwa haha haha haha haha.

TY, DR!

The lulz around here is ginormous and appreciated!

Be Well.

"Unless they are meeting to talk about ways to hold down another race, it ain't racism."

That was what I meant by my toilet comment.

oh stir and the rest..you are just being silly
we all know that its impossible for blacks to be racist..
just ask the black panthers who are free today after breaking all sorts of voting laws in philly..

or just ask the attorney general....

"we all know that its impossible for blacks to be racist.."

Bigoted, sure. Racist? Not this century. Not in this country at least.

National Association for the Advancement of White People.

Congressional White Caucus.

United Caucasion College Fund.

White History Month.

Caucasion-American.

The Suburban League.

Miss White USA.

National Society of White Engineers.

Professional Women of no-Color.

National Association of White Journalists.

Organization of White Airline Pilots.

Doesn't work does it.

Two Americas. Always will be as long as certain groups want to seperate themselves. Blacks used to fight for inclusion - now they fight for diversity. Can't have it both ways. You either want to be treated like everyone else, or you want to be treated differently. It's quite obvious how african americans in power want to be treated.

I wasn't around back then, but I thought the toilets were whites only.

Do you think white people went into the non-white people bathroom?

"Do you think white people went into the non-white people bathroom?"

Those were the ones who didn't come out.

If there was a line for the white one and nobody was looking, maybe. I just didn't think the law precluded it.

White History Month.

Every month is white history month.

I just didn't think the law precluded it.

I'm almost positive that white people could use whatever bathroom they wanted. I doubt they used the bathroom for non-whites very often.

hence.

black only bathrooms.

hence.

black only bathrooms.

de jure meet de facto.

You're talking about one, I'm talking about the other.

Sons of Italy

Italian Sons and Daughters of America

National Italian American Foundation

Columbia Association

Community for Italian American Outreach

Dante Alighieri Society

You're talking about one, I'm talking about the other.

tongue in cheek.

"tongue in cheek."

I missed that. Distracted today.

"All those organization have to do with ethnicities not a race."

Italians only earned their whiteness in the past 70 years or so.

Every month is white history month.

Really? Please explain how my history book contained individuals of ALL races not just whites. Why were indians mentioned? Why the French? What - because whites interacted with them?

Every month is AMERICAN HISTORY month buttmunch. If it happened here, it is American History - not white, black, yellow or brown history. Tired old argument/phrase by white apologists.

Yeah RCADE - Italians have their own check box next to African American on that government job or college entrance application. Italian-american is also used quite often around the hood in NJ. Or in Italian-american gangsta rap music. Hell, Quintan Tarentino is constantly making movies about the culture of Italian-americans just like Spike Lee does about African-Americans.

Next to the dumb analogy on another thread about cars and evolution, yours comes in a close second as unrelated.

Now, if you want to talk about the Chinese, Vietnamese or Indians...you might have a point on business issues at least.

All those organization have to do with ethnicities not a race.

So what? Groups band together behind the things that make them distinct. There's nothing prejudiced behind that, unless you think groups like the Sons of Italy are bigotry.

Hell, Quintan Tarentino is constantly making movies about the culture of Italian-americans just like Spike Lee does about African-Americans.

Filmmakers make movies about Italian-American culture all the time. Ever heard of Martin Scorsese?

unless you think groups like the Sons of Italy are bigotry.

no, but them fellers from "Sons of Anarchy" don't appear to be very tolerant.

You're really twisting into a pretzel to avoid acknowledging the simple fact that black folks might have a reason to band together in this country.

All Italians are alike, but black people are as unique as a snowflake? Sheesh.

So do whites - why don't you acknowledge that then RCADE? NAAWP - do you approve? UCCF - do you approve? Congressional White Caucus - do you approve?

If not - your the typical libtard white apologist.

Blacks - like feminists - want it both ways - equality when it suits THEM, and special treatment based on their race/gender when it suits THEM.

RCADE you probably think the Godfather is about Italian-American "culture". This country is so fcked.

We are never going to live in peace and harmony together flower children! We celebrate differences in this country now - we are no longer a melting pot - more like a cracking tower.

All Italians are alike, but black people are as unique as a snowflake? Sheesh.

sarcasm noun
1. harsh or bitter derision or irony.
2. a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: a review full of sarcasms.

It's not funny if I have to explain it.

"You're really twisting into a pretzel to avoid acknowledging the simple fact that black folks might have a reason to band together in this country."

Poor people have a reason to band together to promote their common interests. Making it about race rather than economic status is racist.
