Contrary to popular belief, black people didn't really benefit from affirmative action. They were the least. The ones who benefited from affirmative action were the women.
c'mon fam, plenty? plenty??? naw....if there is a hate crime against whites its because of their religion(anti semites for example, which is not as common as racism based on skin color) not because their skin is a lighter shade. black folk and latinos aren't going around beating up white boys and dragging them from the back of their truck till they die. look at this site, everyday there is racism towards minorities, it outweighs the racism towards whites. white people are obsessed with being racist. its in their blood and i'm fine with that. just let me know you're racist, don't hide behind a screen name or be a keyboard racist.
fam...i'm in a "black frat" all frats in the divine 9, the "black frats" are inclusive to all races. i have white, asian and hispanic frat brothers. matter of fact, bill clinton is my frat bruhwe don't stop people from joining our clubs because they're not black like whites do. why are white people so afraid???
and yes i would have a problem if CMT changed their name to WET.

Yeah Trill, I don't know what the DPG is taking about "all black" college groups that excludes other races. Just because it looks like it because HBCs are like 90% black doesn't mean it's only for blacks.
Just not black women, right?
The least to benefit.
Why do you suppose that is?
I'm pretty sure he probably supports their right to form this group. But that doesn't mean they can't be called out as the fear mongering bigots they are.
Can you show me an example of what leads you to believe that?
Some people just do things out of principle. However,m there is a real concern of many of us whites, about the special rights minorities get that we cannot have equal part of.
According to the image included with the article in the OP, this group's real concern has to do with the white race ceasing to exist completely. Their formation is reactionary, based on a fear of non-whites encroaching upon the white race.
Isn't that why black groups form?
Fear?
rofl.
just off the top of my head alone, at my college I can think of the Society of Black Engineers, Collegiate 100 Black Men of West Texas, Society of Black Journalists, African-American Pioneers of Texas, Black Faculty and Staff Organization.
And I'm sure there are plenty more if I just cared to look them up.
Now imagine the uproar if there was a Society of White Engineers group that existed
I don't see the point in pretending that all black groups want the same things or form for the same reasons.
There was a society of white engineers though. Only whites could get into engineering schools and get engineering jobs. The black group was formed in response. I see that waaay different than the white group whose main motive is to spread white racial propaganda under the guise of serving the community.
Why are they special? Why can they form racial groups and not be called racist like whites are?
Not true.
Link please.
That's the M.O. for the "Rev" Al Sharpton and the "Rev" Jessie Jackson, two of long time heroes of the black cause.
I don't want to get off on a rant here, but when it comes to a group having a selfish agenda and being given the stage to proselytize, you really have no room to . There's no race on this planet, no people, who've had the gross amount of opportunity heaped into their laps as the blacks of the past 30 years, and no people who have totally on that opportunity at every turn. Then the blacks often focus their anger at the whites instead of looking at all the opportunity being squandered by their own race and challenging these people to overcome their en led ignorance. Some people just want a reason to be ing lazy.
Regardless, in academia, you will find remnants of grade school ignorance. You will find a horde of followers and a charismatic "leader". This is true even in all black colleges. Odd that there are all black colleges.
Living in the past
Are you guys ing kidding me? Higher education such as engineering was closed off to blacks. Unions and employers made it a policy not to hire black engineering graduates from the HBCs. There were white only restaurants but oh no, engineering schools welcomed all.
Second of all, that black engineering group does not exclude races. Anybody can be a member.
"WAS" closed off to blacks.
All these black groups are still necessary because...?
It's a cultural setting with peers that are similar to you.
Sounds like a fancy way to describe racism.
Join the group. I guarantee you they won't deny you because of your skin color.
To recap:
Judging someone by the color of their skin is wrong
Unless you're black, then you can judge that other people who are black have cultural similarities to you.
