i Couldnt see anything after clicking the link, but i am ssuming this is in america.

We have a bit of a problem with both racism and political correctness here. It is perfectly pc for any non-white, straight male to start their own group that excludes all others.

Unfortunately, there are a good number of straight white guys in this country, throughout history, that have shown when "we" get into groups of our own, it is usually a bunch of racist morons (like, oh say, the KKK and neo-nazis) that have created a stigma agaisnt it, because 90% of the time it IS racism being execrised. Why the other 10% give a shit is beyond me. Start a dungeons and dragons group if ou want nothign but white straight guys to hang out with. They'll all be virgins, too, so you'll be even more exclusive.

There is also the fact that white folks in America are a clear majority. We dont NEED exclusive clubs to meet other white people if we want to. Other groups arent so lucky. i checke dout the stats for the county i live in the other day, and our black population is .06%.... that figures to about 1400 people out of the 29000 in the COUNTY. New england, is a white people's club...

It has everythingto do with attitudes over the past 200 years in this country. the only people who are caucasian that generally show any pride in their "white heritage are racists.


The funny thingis, there is no real "white history" in this country. we are all mixes of so many countries, it is impossible to nail down any real ethnic group for a lot of us. Personally i am (in order from greatest to leat):
German
Irish
English
Scottish
French
Portuguese
Italian

Kinda hard to pick one to have "pride" in, especially the german part.. that would get me labeled as a nazi in no time.

There is this stupid movement inthis country where a lot of us "who have had everythign handed to us" people are getting really whiny. I dont beleive in the whoel white guilt thing, i have never done a thing to any one of any race because of their race. if i was rude or mean, its because they sucked as a person.

These days, unless you are an older person who was around for the 60s, you really have to get over the whole white/black thing (for starters). i have known as many whiet people get shit for being white as i have black people who got shit for being black. its wrong either way.

We just need to get over it. I AM tired of getting treated as an exception because of what people who looked like me did for a few hundred years, but i wasnt one of them. If soemone wants to start a "white club" i have a few suggestions:

Its not funny, so if you are being a smartass, stop it.
If you ARE a racist, put a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger; you will never be happy do give up on life.
if you are really that naive, get some councilling. There is a real world outside your doorstep.
If you REALLY just want to revel in your white heritage, get OVER it...the odds of you having a direct lineage is almost impossible, so why not just be happy being you, and join a chess club?

I see no problem with making it and personally think that it is only fair.

Wanna know the kicker?

If we make a Caucasian Club, we get pelted for being racist, yet, who is calling us racist? That is a racial remark as well just assuming that all caucasians are racist!

And may I ask you, why is it that a non-white person can call a white person a "cracker", but we can't call other races by their "bad name", whatever it is????

Because no matter how much hate is behind the use of "Cracker" "Whitey" and whatever words they come up with, they are all stupid and sound funny.

Here is the imbalance in the hypothetical racial epithet exchange:

"Cracker-ass craker. Damn whitey. Milk colored job-stealer. Damn Redneck. White Trash. Marshmallow-ass motherfucker"

"hehe.... 'n-word'"

"MOTHERFUCKER, I'LL KILL YOU!"

White peopel have a way with words, not to mention pretty much every part of our history involves OUR ancestors trying to wipe out one ethnicity or another. We have always had this incredible ability to band to gether to kill off anyone who is different from us.

Racism is stupid & so is reverse racism. This chick should sure as hell be allowed to start this club if she wants to because we have this thing called the Bill of Rights and it guarantees Freedom of Assembly. Of course she'll catch flack for it though... Jesse Jackson is probably already banging down her door.

It's the same kinda thing with BET though. We can't have WET (White Entertainment Television) because that would be racist, but an all black channel is fine. It's fuckin' stupid.
