I don’t know what people are complaining about, I am sure that have Black and Hispanic savants.

His party is a collection of violent rival street gangs. He's white, he's old, and nothing he could do would ever be enough when someone wants his job. Like that parallel Star Trek universe, the only way to get a promotion is to eliminate a superior.

Walter Williams used to comment about the difference between racism and bias.

I have a bias. I prefer to be around individuals who look like, think like, and behave like I do. I don’t feel I need to be diverse and there is no force of nature that is going to make me different.

2 great points. This hypocrisy is industrial strength levels.

Remember Groucho’s line about organizations and their membership. “I would never join any club that wanted me as a member” (paraphrase)

The corollary is: why join any club that did not want you as a member and probably was at odds with your interests.

Of course, their mission might be racism in and of itself, which paints a slightly less acceptable scenario..

Imagine the instant reaction had any Senator from the South made such a defense.

> Wonder if the celebrated Juneteenth at the club this weekend

Probably not. I didn’t see any shootings reported.

There are abundant clubs for blacks only. Is that ok?

Yeah he probably would say someone hit him on the head and he was barely conscious when he joined by mistake and believe it or not the same thing happened every time he attended a meeting. Of course the truth in that is that he is still barely conscious these days.

Hi.

Maybe someone has photos of Sheldon in black face or a Klan outfit at the club?

Here in New England we have many of the most segregated towns in the country—but shhhh don’t tell anyone. :-)

Rhode Island was a favorite destination for plantation owners to spend their summers in the antebellum days.

In his defense, this club is not a “whites only” club.

Its an old country club, patronized by New York and New England blue-bloods like the Vanderbilts and JP Morgan, with a closed, private-members list. They probably don’t take new members.

No doubt there are many smug, limousine liberals, but they would never declare themselves as “whites only” - because they wouldn’t have to.

Slavery was a long tradition in the South, until Bill Sherman rolled through.

And slavery was a long tradition in the South. Is it okay, too?

More like Orval Faubus defending Jim Crow laws.

Lee was personally opposed to slavery and freed his.
