    Hey mac, I do agree with you on that. Just like The Miss Black America pageant. Yet, there is no such thing as Miss White America pageant. And there should be no such thing as either. I never will understand how blacks cry out about equal rights, but yet want to be seperate? They actually single themselves out as "different" in these cases, just like black only caucas, black only history month, black only TV channels, black only radio, black only magazine's, black only charities, black only scholarships....and the list goes on and on, doesn't it?

    This person however should not have put up a sign that I'm sure on an emotional level for blacks brought up a very disturbing time in our nations history. It was stupid, plain and simple. As I said a sign reading "no hair products allowed in pool" or something to that affect would have worked. It was unneccessary to rehash old wounds in this case.

    Every race is different. What is unique about Whites is our high intelligence and creativity. Whites are able to visualize an abstract concepts like "world peace" or "racial harmony", and supress our more basic instincts in pursuit of such worthy objectives. The Negro sees only the hardship and misery that surrounds him, and behave accordingly.

    Excellent!

    In that case, when the congressional black caucus takes up the fight over this sign, I will discount their opinion on the topic.

    Is getting stabbed in the leg worse than getting shot in the arm? Does it matter in the sligest if you're considering one of them alone?

    That's not the same thing though. I gather the Caucus was established back when blacks in America were still widely discriminated against, formally and informally. I agree it's largely unnecessary now and possibly even counter-productive (if only in the negative reaction some people seem to have towards it). I don't think it's legitimate to equate the organisation with some idiot who wants to ban blacks from her pool and spews some rubbish about hair-products to back it up though.

    And whites who practice segregation have no business complaining about the CBC. I suspect most the people complaining about this incident aren't members of the CBC though.

    With all due respect, can we please stop talking nonsense on this subject? The level of melanin in the epidermis has not been shown to have any connection with intellectual prowess. There were brown and yellow civilisations long before there were white ones.

    During the last few hundred years, Europeans gained technological ascendancy and exploited that superiority, by means of colonialism and other forms of plunder, to garner most of the world's resources, and subjugate many of the brown and yellow peoples. History does not indicate much observance of the principles of racial harmony in the Spanish rampage through South America, for example. Nor amongst the activities of the English slave traders.

    As for the brown people in the USA, their ancestors arrived in chains, and for generation received nutritional subsistence and no education. Even after emancipation, they suffered endemic poverty, racial prejudice, and lack of opportunity.

    And as for American support of world peace, I have seen little evidence thereof in my my lifetime. Iraq and Afghanistan are not exactly shining examples, and in my parents' lifetime, there was Vietnam, Panama, Grenada, etc. Not much in the way of the pursuit of noble ideals there.

    This is extremely speculative. Do you have anything to back it up?

    Very true, but your house is privately owned, just like a small business. With few exceptions, shouldn't you be the one dictating how the business is established? I believe that government intrusion should be kept at a minimum, and I see more detriment than benefit in allowing the government to enforce such a policy.

    We have a free market? Wow! Just don't tell the Fed, since they're really adherent to the "myth" that they have a monopoly over the dollar and can control interest rates. :roll:

    In all seriousness, we haven't had a true free market in a very long time.

    The fact really is that government corruption increases in proportion to the amount of power that we allow the government to have. The less money and power we give to the government, the less corrupt they will be.

    I am not advocating for total anarachy. Rather, I am advocating for as limited of government instrusion as possible. Also, I have more faith in individuals solving simple problems, such as the topic that we are discussing, than the federal government making yet another law that limits personal freedoms.

    Again, this is speculative. I believe that there would still be an outpouring of sympathy, and many would boycott the racist woman's pool, forcing her to close her business.

    True, but I don't see this as a positive because we ALLOW the government this power to have an increasing role in our lives at the expense of our own personal freedoms. Additionally, the government is corrupt and will cave in to special interest groups. For instance, although we have "anti-discrimination laws," affirmative action, which is a policy sponsored largely by the state and federal government, is widespread and IS a policy of racial discrimination. Yet, affirmative action is allowed because special interest groups have so much sway over the decisions made by government officials.

    This widespread corruption is the very reason why I do not want government to have the power to tell a private business owner who he can and cannot allow into his store, since the government itself turns its head the other way when it comes to affirmative action. Hence, since the government is actively involved in supporting discriminatory policies, how can it possibly dictate to private businesses that they cannot discriminate? This stinks of hypocricy.

    The government should be first policing ITSELF on the subject of discrimination before even considering mandating such similar policies on individual citizens.

    Somewhat true, but it is really the parents who are far more responsible in their children becoming racists. A racist mother and father living in a very "liberal" and "tolerant" town will still likely raise a racist child.

    Certainly there is legitimacy for a comparison. Why is there a body of the federal government that is exclusive to Blacks and set up for the purposes of "positively influencing the course of events pertinent to African-Americans and others of similar experience and situation," and "achieving greater equity for persons of African descent in the design and content of domestic and international programs and services," when no similar bodies of Congress exist for any other race? These congressmen make laws that impact the lives of every single citizen, and yet they are part of a body of congress that discriminates based upon race.

    Hence, in my opinion, the existence of the CBC is much more detrimental to the nation than a single racist White owner of a small private pool.

    the sign was way wrong and i hope the woman gets justice served on her for the disgusting act, but to act like this is mainstream is a bunch of bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

    please tell me the last time there was a legal squabble over a "whites only" sign at a pool please.

    Can you name one? The Negro race never even invented the wheel. Or domesticated any animal that could plow his fields or carry his goods. Instead their women work in the fields, and carry everything on top of their heads. If they ever did manage to create something resembling a civilization, it couldn't have lasted very long under such primitive circumstances.


    Most of the slave ships were owned by Iberian Jews. Delivering slaves to their plantations in the the Carribean and South America. The English were more interested in building English colonies, inhabited by Englishmen, than enslaving other people. Even when colonizing Africa, they saw it as their duty to civilize the Negros.

    The English were among the first to abolish slavery. And even when they colonized Africa, the English saw it as their duty to civilize the lower races, and bestow on them

    Many Whites were shipped to America in chains, and often treated worse than slaves, since they were to be freed, and thus their lives were worth nothing.

    Gotta hand it to White Liberals though. You never run out of clever excuses to explain the Negros short-comings. And you're determination is quite admirable. Imagine if Negros spent just half as much time bettering themselves, as liberals spend making excuses for them. It really could be a better world.

    Possibly as Republican as Bull Connors or George Wallace.

    Kindly stop throwing things like that around. This is about racism, not politics. And if you read any of my posts, you will find that I am almost fanatical about racists.

    And I am about as Republican and Conservaitve as you can get.

    This is about bigotry and intolerance, not politics. And any attempt to make it political cheapens everything that is being discussed, and will only get people to tune you out because you are to ignorant to tell the difference.

    And yet somehow, this remains socially widespread and acceptable:

    Y'all are a bunch of hypocrites if you think one sign is horrible but the other is just okey dokey.

    Thanks for your response.

    But I still think it is wrong for the left to get mad at this woman when black people themselves are doing far worse every day and getting away with it.

    The blacks-only institutions we have discussed are far bigger and more important than this woman is.

    Let blacks clean up their own act first and then complain about others.

    I agree. Being under 21 is worse than being black. If you are black and under 21 years of age, you might as well kill your own black ass because there ain't nothing much worth living for. :rolleyes:

    You do know that Bad Religion isn't racist, right? Why do you have them as your sig line? They believe in almost nothing you hold true. You know this, right?

    Good post. There are a lot of anti-white racist posters here. The OP just happens to be one of them.

    The really good news is … Time and Demographics are not on the side of Racist.

    Like the Dinosaurs … they will soon be Fossil Fuel. And because they know this, they are doubling-down on their rhetoric to hang on to the past.

    No, they are more like cockroaches. No matter how many of the vermin you step on, more will come scurrying out of the garbage.

    By the same logic neither do they swim in that swimming pool.

    So I just say again.

    Blacks and guilt-ridden white liberals should clean up their own racism before complaining about others.

    And the segregated Congressional Black Caucus is a bigger affront to the nation than this single white woman.

    I must admit, I am always amazed.

    Amazed at the unwillingness for folks to condemn obvious stupidity when it is presented.

    The CBC is not hanging sings. The CBC contains members from both parties.

    In essence, the CBC has nothing to do with this, yet your entire argument is to ignore the obvious topic and attacks an entity that has nothing to do with anything.

    I have long been a critic of the CBC which is funded by my tax dollars.

    In that sense it is a far greater affront to the principle of a color blind society than this woman is.

    Libs cannot throw stones at her without hitting the black racists in our nation's capital.

    Indeed, and your argument continues.

    You accuse the CBC of being racist, yet utterly ignore the simple fact that the topic was about something else.

    Your post seems to be a pile of reflexive outrage. If you dislike racism why not condemn it universally? Why distract with nonsense about the bipartisan, and it is bipartisan no matter how much you wish to ignore it, CBC?

    I think I am on topic.

    Blacks and guilt-ridden white libs are complaining about a white women who does not want to associate with blacks in her swimming pool.

    Yet my taxpayer dollars are being used to fund a racist black organization in Congress that does not want to associate with whites.

    I don't think you can ignore that in the context of this topic.
