Racist.
Again, racist isn't necessarily a four letter word.
They may not be hurting anyone. I don't think they are by any means.
If the sole purpose of something is because of race....
black & white (or yellow or whatever), it's racist.
Ebony Magazine....BET......KKK......NAACP.....
all based on race.
Racist.
Let's say I'm starting a WASP Christian Church here in Ocean Springs
White Anglo Saxon Protestants only
.....what do you think folks would say?
I'm not saying that I personally have a problem with any of it.
It's just a fact. |
I see your point, I really do. But I also think many of these types of organizations are misconstrued... and probably well deserved in some aspects as there are members of these organizations who may abuse their roles. But as a whole, and as an open-minded individual, I must agree they have a right to convene as most of them try in a positive way to hold onto their heritage as well as promote progressive role models within their community. With that being said, (understanding that African-Americans are a minority in our nation) I would be more comfortable saying they are segregants and not racists... although perhaps some people don't see a difference between the two.
