    I disagree. See your comment below.

    Here is what I do not understand.

    Why can't bigots condemn white bigotry? Why is it always excused with perceived counter behavior by those of another race?

    When libs end segregation in their own ranks and integrate the Congressional Black Caucus then they can demand the same of others.

    Until then you have no moral standing to condemn anyone else.

    Once again, the CBC is bipartisan. Why are you ignoring this fact? Is it because it shows your argument to be inherently incorrect?

    It is first of all segregated since it does not admit whites.

    Excellent. Then you should have no problem producing your citation that affirms you are correct on that matter.

    It's an old story that I'm sure you are aware of but maybe not since some libs seem to have tunnel vision when it comes to black racism.

    But it goes back to 2006 when white Democrat Steve Cohen tried to join and was rejected.

    Hilarious.

    Yes, I am well aware the CBC has no policy barring non black members.

    And no white members.

    The policy exists and Steve Cohen is the evidence.

    You asked me for the evidence and i provided it to you.

    At least two whites have tried to join the CBC and been rejected because they are not black.

    Maybe you should try defending black racism and segregation rather than denying the obvious fact that it does exist.

    Indeed, and according to your citation, there is no prohibition on white members joining. Please do not get angry with me because you were wrong.

    I don't defend any sort of racism.

    You mean there is no written rule.

    But the rule nevertheless exists.

    PC is the worst kind of discrimination. Not only are White Males discriminated against, we are not even allowed to call it discrimination.

    Not according to your article.

    So what we have here is a failure of your argument regarding the CBC. Would you care to return to discussing, or discuss for the first time, the topic in the OP

    You really are a sore loser.

    First you demand proof that the CBC is segregated and I gave it to you.

    White and black Democrats agree that whites are not allowed join the CBC.

    And all you can say in their defense is that the rule for segregation is not in writing?

    That's really being childish.

    I disagree.

    Nowhere in your link does it support your original assertion.

    It does support what I said.

    Even your fellow Democrats concede that but if you refuse to accept the obvious there is nothing more I can say to help you.

    ORLY? How are you defining "race"?

    Yes, that must be why meta-racial America is more advanced than mono-racial Europe.

    In America is was white that originally caused that hardship and misery.

    Because it is not the same thing. That is why it is acceptable. Everyone will eventually be over 21. Not everyone will eventually be white or black.

    There is a double standard. Age discrimination is not the same as racial discrimination. That is why one is acceptable and the other is not.

    It isn't a private pool. Thats why the choice is not hers to make. If she wants to discriminate, she can buy property, put a pool in it, and only let in people she wants.

    But this lady is just a landlord. It isn't her pool, and it isn't her building. Even if it was, it is being rented. Either way, it isn't up to her. She cannot arbitrarily deny access to something other people are paying for and that she doesn't even own.

    I disagree. I dont think we should have to wait. I think we can demand that this woman comply regardless of whether or not the CBC ever integrates. If she doesn't like it, she can kiss our collective asses.

    Not nessicarily. To get an idea, look at the huge number of bigots here in this forum alone.

    Of course, for some reason, certain kinds of bigotry seem to be allowed, even encouraged among some people in here. You can hardly go into a thread without seeing remarks against Asians, Hispanics, Blacks, Jews, Muslims, Europeans, or some other group.

    And yes, I bigotry also includes political affiliations. I get so freaking sick and tired of "All Liberals think this" or "All Conservatives think that". True it is not based on race or religion, but it is still bigotry, where a person tries to take anybody they do not identify with their own beliefs and demonize them to others.

    And yes, that does follow even under the dictionary definition:

    big-ot-ry: (noun) stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own. Random House Dictionary, 2012

    I view it all as horrible.
