Stairway to Nowhere, No Whites Allowed

....snip.......

KGET-TV in California reports that a white social worker who wanted to attend a meeting of the National Association of Black Social Workers was told he was not welcome because of his skin pigment.

Bakersfield, Calif., social worker Brain Parnell wanted to attend the New Orleans meeting along with five of his colleagues because he often works with minority children. When he tried to enter, however, he was turned away.

"I approached the registration table and was greeted by a very friendly fellow who looked me in the eye and said, 'Are you black?'" said Parnell. "I told him that I'm not and he told me that the conference was only for people who were black and so I wasn't able to register to attend the conference."

"I was shocked," said Parnell. "I was surprised that in 2005, I could be singled out because of the color of my skin."

The black social workers should be renamed black socialist workers... they do not work on the behalf of minority children at all. In fact, they're singlehandedly responsible for stalling adoptions of black children in the USA today just as one point. They wouldn't let a white person in because they trash white people any chance they get. I've know one or two members of this group and they're the most angry people in earth. How can you be so angry and racist and work with children?

Really. Where are they? I live in a predominantly black area and don't know of such a place. Where do you live?

Black RACISM?

I'm shocked! Shocked I say.

In "post-modern" America, you can't be racist, if you are acting against those evil white people!

(A couple of other acceptable targets are FAT people, and Christians.)

This is kinda old news. It's been this way for decades.

I still wonder at the sort of mind that would bitch and whine about slavery here a hundred years ago, while accepting without even a comment, that right now, (NOW), in Africa and other places around the world, black chattel slavery exists, and is part and parcel of several "BLACK" cultures.

I guess that a Black, (or an Arab), "owning" a BLACK slave today is ok?

I know this is insane. What do you expect from these race pimps? They are of course, just working what they've got, right?

Uh yeah sure, you betcha.

I respectfully suggest you consider the difference between RACE and "national origin".

RACE is immutable, we are what we are.

I can relocate to another nation and change my nationality but, (unless you are Ward Church-ill), we can't change our RACE.

I've never understood any award (media, music, entertainment) that begins with "Black."

Because we granted them a concession, viz, that they were to be allowed to be racist in order that they could make up for lost time.

But they've made up for lost time. We've paid reparations, in spades. Go into any government agency in the south and you will see predominatly black employees.

I have a friend who moved from California to Tennessee. He worked at Procter and Gamble as a line supervisor. He would try to get his employees, many of whom were black, to do their job. If they did not, he would discipline them. Then they would file charges against him for racism. The charges were so difficult to defend against he simply stopped trying to do his job. So the first chance he got he retired.

I'd say the whole concept has reached a point of diminishing returns. It's time to return to sanity. We're sorry for the injustices of the past. But I've never shot an Indian and I never owned a slave. And I resent people who think that I should pay as if I had done these terrible things.

Would you relocate to another nation and change your nationality in order to get into a beet farmers' association?

Is it fair that you are left out until then?

What about the YMCA? Promisekeepers? The men's racquetball tournament down at the club?

My kid was in the teamsters for awhile. They wouldn't let non-members in, either. They didn't want their subversion observed.

Oops, sorry I thought the question was rhetorical - and the answer self-evident; I say "no" it does not come up on the radar if it's Armenian-American Beet Farmers. I guess I'm not really sure where the question is going? Discrimination is discrimination and it's still morally wrong no matter what kind of spin somebody wants to put on it.

I'm actually not all that "outraged" by the whole thing. It's pretty much what I've come to expect

We are not talking about what is "FAIR". We are talking about what IS.

My point stands, RACE is something no person can change. Nationality is some thing that WE could CHANGE.

I was not suggesting that such changes SHOULD be made, only that they COULD be made.

ie. Calling someone who doesn't like the French a "racist" is not "correct".

Such a person could "correctly" be called "anti"-French, or maybe even French-"phobic", or maybe a French "hater"?

But "RACIST"?

NO.

French is NOT A RACE.

I hope this clears it up for you.

Now if only you would respond to my point instead of repeating yourself. Oh well.

Guess I'm just wondering why one kind of discrimination "comes up on the radar" and another doesn't.

In other words, what is the logic of the distinction?

As I said, discrimination is immoral - period.

Liberals and ninnies own the field guide on "political correctness" - logic and reason NEED NOT APPLY.

Maybe because every human on earth thinks they can tell the RACE of other humans by inspection, that is by LOOKING at them.

IT'S OBVIOUS.

Nationality, on the other hand is NOT OBVIOUS.

This isn't rocket science.

It's not REVERSE discrimination.

It's just discrimination.

To be reverse would imply that he was discriminating against the black social workers first and they were just giving it back to him. A carefully crafted leftist term, that implies guilt lies with the actual victim.

In this case the liberal white sap is the only victim of one way discrimination.

Thus, the Armenian-American beet farmers and Promisekeepers are both immoral.

I haven't seen any liberals saying so, but you are certainly welcome to your views.

No, it certainly isn't rocket science. Hence my bewilderment at your apparent confusion.
