I think it is time we stop caring what "race" you are. In fact, how about we finally start admiting there is no such thing as race at all? That is the conclusion I have come to. There is no such thing. No basis for it what-so-ever. And I think it is a much better policy to suppress and crush racism at its roots instead of trying to prop up one group or another in an attempt to level things out.
This is wrong. Blacks on average have a much higher level of testosterone than whites, and this makes them more muscular. They dominate sports for that reason. There was a thread about this before. People from Western African descent completely dominate sprinting events. They have more quick twitch muscle fibers which gives them more explosive strength and speed. EVERY SINGLE sprinting record is held by someone of Western African descent. It's genetics. It's not racism, it's genetics. Not everyone is created equally... we're all different in our own ways.
Sure, your reason is "politically correct", unfortunately it's not correct.

What SuperTool said. It's one thing to celebrate a European heritage, but facing facts, when it comes to race, whites' most obvious legacy in this country is several hundred years of owning slaves and discrimination. Even if only a minority of whites were the ones doing it, it affects the heritage of everyone else

NO not ever
What about if a group of women wanted to have an all-female group? Would that be acceptable
A all female group? Do you have any comprehension of the difference between a plublic school and just a group?
Why are you defending raceism? A neo nazi skinhead maybe? I notice that you speak "you all"
Bleep
Oh man, what a limp wristed hippy....
You took my question and twisted it all around to suit your skewed thoughts.
First of all, if you want to offend me, at least spell the insults correctly. What's "raceism"???? And WTF is a "plublic school"??? No, I guess I DO NOT have any comprehension of what a "plublic school" is.
And no, I do not support what they're doing. Nowhere in my post did I even hint that I think it's right. You just ASSumed that I did, and you ASSumed incorrectly.
Zero, that's a pretty small minority.Originally posted by: vi_edit
I had an all white prom. Then again we had 0 minority students enrolled so it's not quite the same.

What is an African-American? Does being white and of European decent make me European-American? I was born in America, and I am an American. The majority of blacks in this country were born in America, they are American too, not African-American.
What about colleges like Grambling, Tuskegee, Tennessee St. Univ., Selma Univ., Morehouse College, Miles College, Howard Univ., Florida A&M, Alcorn St. Univ., the list is endless. Try starting an all white college and see how far you get.
Black History Month? How about White History Month? Wonder how long that would last.

Its funny how blacks dont like to reminded of the fact that it was blacks selling blacks as slaves. By no measure am I saying that slavery was ok, on the contrary I hate that it happened. But the fact of the matter is why should we be paying for something (like not celebrating our history) for something that ended 150 yrs ago?
Try going to get a government job against someone who is black. Most likely they will be hired, not because of their qualifications, but because of their race.
Then throw in Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Every time something bad happens to a black person, they are there with the NAACP saying how someone was mis-treated. Yeah yeah yeah. Keep making an a$$ of yourself Al.
Im not racist either, I have many friends who are black. And even they tell me Al and Jesse are full of it.
Black people have more going for them than they think. Thay have many more open-door opportunities than white people do.
So do I see anything wrong with an all white dance? No. It's no more worse than an all black college or the United Negro College Fund.

Some how I don't picture you as having black friends, let alone not being a stone cold racist.

I have skimmed this thread and noticed alot of things. The first thing, and only thing I want to address is the fact that many people are looking at the amount of blacks in certain multi-racial activities and claiming its pretty much whites only anyway. I'd like to point out however that blacks make up only 10% of the population. So when someone says that 90% of the time a white person wins Miss USA then that is about what it should be. If it were 50/50 then there would be some racism towards the whites it would seem.
That said, I don't agree with this white only prom. However there are alot of black only activities that I don't agree with either. BET anyone? How come we don't have a WET tv? (Besides that fact that it'd prob. be a porn channel)

Do a search on "double standards".
You are not my intellectual equal, so stop trying to enter a reasoning debate with me.How about you make yourself useful and go make me a sandwich?

BET is sub-culture specific. WET would be RACE specific. Haven't you seen Eminem on BET?
