A female-only retreat in Costa Rica is offering women of color the chance of a break from white people. The getaway location in Puerto Viejo has banned white people, meaning those who attend spend their time exclusively with women of color.

They will have a brown paper bag at the door. If you are not darker than the bag, you are out.

Costa Rica has lots of cults and hippies. Another one for a laugh, is Melanation.

WTH?

This would be illegal in the U.S.

But of course, we are nothing but warmongers, thieves, no moral compass, always last on the scene in the event of a tsunami or other natural disaster etc... /s

But more importantly ;), what would Michael Jackson have done? What a quandary...

The irony is that a large percentage of American blacks are near the 50% number. Most blacks aren’t really black as there is a lot of whiteys in their family woodpile.

In case of blacks and minorities in general, success is seen as done by way of hurculean efforts despite the efforts of white “oppressors” and result in undue and exaggerated celebration and celebrity.

That’s not what I see.

I see Americans in general fawning over celebrities no matter their race and these bring lionized even though they probably shouldn’t be (kinda like that one Cosby quote about him bring man of the year, IIRC, that it should be called a great guy as far as we know award).

Black businessmen and professionals who’ve unglamorously clawed, innovated and led on their way to the top receive no such automatic benefit. The less their success seems to do with their blackness the less likely their celebrityhood. Especially if they don’t go along with the myths of race.

In this respect I see Obama’s idiotic statement “You didn’t build that” to be particularly pertinent. Yes, he meant it of successful people in general but it may reflect an onlooker’s attitude about black people who didn’t need their blackness to succeed and if so it is even more reprehensible.

Celebrities and politicians who gain their wealth or power because of the group, by contrast, are those who seem to get the most leeway.

Mmmm they do realize that a lot of people who work there will be white. Right?

Or are they running under the idea that anyone born south of the border is black.

She thinks white people should not be allowed to have passports? Why not encourage them to have passports and leave the country?

She may regret choosing Costa Rica. Isla Nublar is off the coast--what if some of the cloned dinosaurs from Jurassic Park escape to the mainland?

Trademark that idea immediately. “It’s gold, Jerry, Gold!” (Seinfeld fan here).

Seriously, though, there is a blockbuster in the making. Consult a lawyer.

Or I will steal your idea. ;) (j/k; would never do that to a fellow FReeper But people lurk here and I would get on it)

Best of luck... Julie
