Then we should accept to see no more silly posts from you on this topic I assume. Good. Bye.

If my ritzy country club is funded by the citizens though their tax dollars, then I would expect to see its membership reflective of the area's demographic makeup (assuming, of course, that the desire to play golf in hoity-toity surroundings is equal among the various racial groups). If it's a private club, then as far as I'm concerned it can have as many or as few "people of color" as its membership desires. (Freedom of association includes the freedom not to associate.)

Wait. Just so I understand this.

If these kids did the same thing at Duke or Stanford, which are private schools, you wouldn't have a problem, correct? You just don't like it because this school is public, right?

That's "her" on the left. She's certainly no black woman.

game changer themoreyouknow.


these whites cant attack blacks anymore, and if they do it proves there bias.

this was a white female who allowed this to happen. all attacks should go against her, even though i personally have no problem with the event.

So? What does that change? Nothing. What happened was wrong. The email sent was racist.

And if you go the this weirdos facebook, she is clearly far left.

You act as if since she is white, that it changes anything? Does she represent all white people so if other whites wanted to attend, too bad?!

Duke and Stanford receive public funding. If they didn't, I would still be annoyed at the underlying racism of a "no whites allowed" event, but I wouldn't be as upset about it because they wouldn't be funding their racism with my tax dollars.

I hope this helps to clarify my position.

No, you still sound hypocritical. Keep talking and maybe we'll be convinced.
