In this instance no it's not.

If an organisation only allows those of Irish nationality and their decedents, it's de facto non black.

The training session was not invitation only, it was held in a public school and therefore at least partially funded by the taxpayers. So, no, it is not ok for them to ban whites. Why would they want to anyway? I would not be at all surprised to find that the Vulcan Society is largely funded by govt. grants just like the Urban League and other black organizations.
Isn't a bit hypocritical for blacks to cry racism at the drop of a hat when this type of thing goes on all the time?

I agree totally, so when are you going to join the NAACP and fight for social justice???

The NAACP does not fight for social justice, in fact just the opposite from what I see, they actively promote a double standard.

So let me get this straight, YOU believe there are no Black Irish?

In fact one post from wiki answers brings us this jewel -

Quote:
Just Facts: Of course there are and were many Black People of Irish decent. I'm living proof of this fact. My Great Grand Parent was born in Ireland in 1815 and came to America in 1852 on-board the Fedila, he was a black man. Many of these people settled in New York and the NE. The European histories of these people predates the Common Era (AD) prior to and including the Roman Empire BCE. The British Isles have been conquered and controlled by numerous cultures for tens of thousands of years. White skinned blue eyed Irish can trace their legacy back to the Viking Norsemen. While Dark skin (Black) Irish genealogy is traced back to the Moors and the Byzantine Empires. In fact one of the last Roman Emperor's of the British Isles was a black man - Septimius Severus (AD 145-211). [LEFT]


Seriously, even with my last high school history lesson being in the 70's already knew you were incorrect without having to look to the internet for that info.

Because minorities still have not overcome the treatment their ancestors had over 100 years ago.
They may need "extra" help and support for another hundred years for all we know.

Meanwhile the Hispanics and Asians seem to be doing just fine without the extra minority help.
When the Hispanics take over as the majority race in America (4 states down..46 to go) then they will be seen as the "oppressors" of minorities.
