GBG has taken a soapbox stance as if she's talking to a bunch of racist idiots on this forum, and until she steps down and talks to us like the fellow Christian brothers and sisters we are, this conversation is going nowhere.

I agree that it's more percsecution than racism, but it's still nothing compared to anything she's ever experienced personally in this country. This country is still great, even for minorities. That's why they are still coming here!!

And as long as people of a minority group feel that they will never rise above 'the white man' (their words), they never will. They give white men power by making those statements.

There are lots of blacks and other minorities in positions of power. Those people get respect not because of their color, but because of the position they hold.

I am in a position of power at my job. There are a lot of American Indians that work there and I'm over several of them. I'm not over them because they are Indian and they don't respect me because I'm white.

When we start seeing each other as members of the human race and not the black or white race, we might get somewhere in this world.

It is not color that separated us, it is culture. We unfortunately use color to accentuate those differences. Culture is FAR more powerful than color.

This makes sense to me! Most races have a language that helps to identify their culture. The unique thing about America is that it is a blending of cultures. When the language barrier is taken away, the culture differences are more identified by skin color.

I can agree with an organization that help to preserve a culture of a group of people.

I find it interesting to think that groups formed to empower is OK for some races, but not other races! Isn't this racism?

Let's talk about the end game. At what point will a racial organization no longer be needed? When they are in power? When they control the money? When they take over the nice neighborhoods? When they take over as a majority? At this point would political organizations to empower the white race be OK?

The question was asked once about why having special events like Miss Black or Miss Latino contests when blacks and latinos are not only allowed INTO the same pagents as whites but win too.

This is not about making sure a black person or a latino wins...it's really segregation all over again...but if some whites decided to have a Miss White America everyone would go nuts over it.

Miss Black pagents are NOT empowering. They are NOT getting blacks more or better paying jobs. They are NOT getting them into better neighborhoods nor are they getting them better jobs. It's about racial, cultural pride really more than anything else.

But they are not called racists. If whites did the same thing they would be called racists

Martin Luther King's dream was for EQUALITY, not seperate but equal.

To that end all of these so called civil rights leaders who perpetuate the seperation of the races through special priveleges, organizations ,events, etc are counter productive.

It perpetuates the victim mentality.

I would love to see the reaction to a group called the National Organization for the Advancement of White People -or NOAWP.
