Have you no sense of political savvy?

Whatever happened to sincerity?

This just continues to prove my theory: equality was never achieved; we're simply reversing the imbalance.

If I want to create a Human Club, could I? Y'know, a club for humans — white, black, yellow, male, female, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, atheist, etc. — where we could, like, just chill.

That's a cool idea.

But I disagree with your "positive discrimination" concept.

I never said that I agreed or disagreed with it - just that people should have the right to campaign against it. How can you disagree with that!?

Of course. I just didnt appreciate that you were someone who would join such a group merely for political ends.

A human club is a bad idea if you don't want PETA breathing down your neck...

[yavoon]

is racism and hypocrisy a good example to be setting in a high school?

[Dinner]

Apparently the schools think so judging by the number of race based groups they have set up.

CNN had her on tonight 4:45 Pacific. She is a young 14 year old and a little overweight girl. Someone off camera was coaching her.

AGHHHH!!! The Human club kicks me out??? I knew this novelty Nixon mask wouldn't hide the truth

[Q Classic]

someone was coaching her? so is she a front for someone else's political agenda, like that poor girl and that ******* who sued over two little words in the pledge?

I can't see what's wrong as long as it's not sponsored by the school. It's a crime to restrict the poor kid, is the club racist? potentially so. Is it our right to say that she cannot nurture her own (potentially) hateful ideals? I would have to say no. Especially since the club was not evidentally (proactively) racist.

It restricted membership based on race, yes. But why do we care. Don't join the damn club, protest the damn club if you want to. But do not force restriction on the damn club.

[Now that I've read the specifics]

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

"It will not allow us to heal that divide that we've tried to overcome in the past couple of years," Turner said. "If her motivation is to bring harmony, as she alleges, this is not the way to go."

The second quote is true, it will divide races. But what this 'Turner' woman overlooks is that EVERY OTHER STINKING RACE CLUB causes the same problem. If you look at it that way it is morally wrong, but so is every other club based on race.

So, I believe that it is wrong, but so is every other club based on race and so I can't see how they could be denied. If there's a French club and a German club do we deny the English club the right to meet, because that is the dominant language?

Good God, I hate regulation.
