I've been a participant of African American and La Raza (Hispanic) clubs in high school and college, and plan to in law school. I also have many friends at law school that are members of these clubs, and they are more than welcome.

I think we all know what La Raza club is and I know I don't have any use for them.

Sry) of his and their ancenstors.

Thats what I thought, but evidently we are not allowed to do that.

Why not?

How is joining a club to learn about a group's heritage useless? Seems more like willing ignorance to me...

I said that as a preventative measure, not as a judicial measure for I am not a lawyer.

You basicly called me a racist.

And like it has been said, such a club would more than likely be approved, and would be a great opportunity for immigrants (legal or illegal) to learn more about America's history and heritage.

I don't see how this has anything to do with being white, however. Unless you're trying to assume that American heritage is white heritage.

Are you?

No, I said that the things you're saying are coming dangerously close to echoing racist sentiments.

And they are.

It doesn't mean that I was saying that you're (necessarily) racist.

You think it is okay to preach hate. I have listened to adio from their meetings. They have at time instigated hate for Americans and the promotion of blood shed to take back parts of this country. Is that productive? That is not a club my son would have any part of.
