"White only"? How about ny son? He looks "white", but he is mixed. Can he swim with his brother, who looks darker than him? How about their sister? She looks like she has a tan. Just trying to figure out what "white" is...does that mean only blondes and red heads?

Are you really comparing the two? If someone pays rent, they should be able to take advantage of all the amenities that are offered to other renters. Clearly the courts will see it this way. While you may fantasize about the the South winning the Civil War and Jim Crow Laws still existing, the reality is that this type of discrimination is illegal, whether you like it or not. As long as you hold onto your animosity, ignorance and stereotypes, you will hold yourself back. You will never win. If you fail, it isn't because of blacks, illegal immigration or affirmative action, it is because of you. This white male as the victim BS is no better than a black person who abuses the system and blames their own failures on racism.

Using Miss Black America as an example of "blacks only crap" is idiotic. Once again, I am not surprised - Ms. White Pride. If you want to compete in the Miss Black America Pagent, go ahead. If you want to go to a black college, go ahead. If you want to join the Black Student Union, go ahead. If you want to get a subsription to Black Enterprise or Essence, go ahead. No one will stop you. I am not even going to get into the history or why there was a need for a Black Miss America pageant, but you CAN compete in if if you feel the urge.

Here at the company that I work for, we have an Asian Pacific Forum, An African American Forum, a Hispanic Forum and A woman's Forum. All have White members and the Woman's Forum has male members. Do what floats your boat, just know that if you rent property or run a business and discriminate on the grounds of race, you will not win - if you have an issue with that, this may no longer be the country for you.

On the other hand, since we are now talking about private organizations, I wonder if I can join the Klan or the Aryan Nation. Don't act like there aren't "white only" groups. I'm sure you are very familiar with them, Ms. Mary Phagan.
