It's bad enough that 1/10 people are black, without all these efforts to bring them out of the proverbial woodwork even more.  :-\

so by that same logic the nba and nfl are exclusionary against whites?

I mean they pick players on athletic ability but the leagues are predominately black so...::)

what a fuking moron

Once again, inability to follow a point. We don't live in a society in which the default is white. Both leagues have majority white owners and coaches. What do you even think you are talking about?

Yes, there is. Whether or not majority White groups are formed on the basis of race, the fact that they are ultimately  almost exclusively white is the issue.

They are not formed specifically for a particular race nor are they exclusionary based on race either, at least not in the same way minority groups are.   They may be exclusionary based on economic or social status but not intentionally by race. Minority groups are and yet they receive no social pressure for greater diversity.  Considering that most blacks grow up in black neighborhoods, I think it would be good for black groups to be more inclusive and less racially isolationist.

African American people are over represented in every aspect of life, it's not even worth arguing about it's so blatant.

From college, sports, entertainment, etc...



Thanks for derailing my thread by the way.....  >:( >:( >:( >:( ;D

Your posts in this thread have been worthless... including the opening post. Beat it!

That is major point of most ethnic student unions.

Unfortunately they fail miserably.  If the intention of a minority only organization is to broaden their exposure to various cultures, forming a group only with members like themselves and excluding everyone else is a poor way of going about it.

The solution is clear, the government should subsidize African American movies and TV shows to make them economically viable.  Let's put an end to white privilege once and for all.

No, it's just your examples are stupid. Everything I've said has been consistent.

Student unions don't exclude people unlike their members. Female student unions have male members. Black student unions have white members. And almost all student unions co-mingle with others.

Oh, c'mon. That was clearly a typo. Even you have to be able to put 2+2 together in that instance. But I guess anything to grasp at, right  ;)

Student Unions are really a collection of various organizations.  While they do socialize in the same area, they are distinct groups  differentiated by various interests, including race, religion, gender and sexual orientation. I was a member of an organization that met in the student union and I socialized with members of others groups but I was not a member of those groups.

 ??? I'm not saying you were a member of the groups you socialized with, I'm correcting  the fallacy you've repeated  several times that you wouldn't have been allowed to join a specific union based on race or sex. You don't have to be black to join a black student union. Being a certain race, gender or religion isn't a requirement to join a student union. And the various student unions intermingle, so even if the my previous statement wasn't so, they do encourage diversity.

No, I don't.

So if everyone can join any group they please, where are the white groups that exclude other people by race?  Where are the white groups formed around the premise of being white?  You said they existed.

Then your reading comprehension skills could use work, because I have mentioned them several times, they  are in the title of this thread and  it is what this discussion is about.

so the "mainstream media" is exclusionary by race even if the reason the exclude is not based on race but the NFL and NBA arent even though they do the same thing?
