I think some people get racial and criminal profiling mixed up.

I can only answer for me and my house~family.....skin color is never an issue. I have never and never will be intimidated by anyone of ANY skin color!! I judge a book by its pages and how well written it is and never by its "cover".

I judge a book by its pages. I judge people by their appearance.

I agree, this IS just silly. What did you not understand the first two times I stated what my point was? Hmmmm?

Here is what I posted twice now..what follows "and my point is" is what my point was.

No I'd have them be like all other institutions in America are being called to become..EQUAL

*sigh*

That was my point.... *sigh*

Guess I'm just dense. That post had nothing to do with my first response as to why Black universities were instituted.

So that I don't look more dumb than I feel, I'll drop it.

Since "why" was never really the issue, I never offered a response as to WHY. In fact I said it was irrelevant.

We are talking about equality TODAY not WHY black universities were formed.

It's a valid question though. Can someone start a WET and not be called racist? Why or Why not?

How about a White University? Would that fly? It's a valid question because the "theme" is "equality" when it comes to races. That means making all things equal.

YOU mentioned the White university thing SO I gave the reason there are Black universities in the first place.

Seemed relevant to me...oh well...

As said, I was not asking "why" they came into being. It's not relevant to TODAY and the issue of changing things to be equal

So would classical music being played in outdoor public spots considered racist unless the proportion of rap played is equal to the % of blacks in the area?
