The article goes on to say that white guys are not banned, just not encouraged. Fine. Both sexes and all races have the right to freedom of association. Let's remember that the next time someone is accused of belonging to (gasp!) an "all-white country club".

White guys will not be the threat. Angry women will be the threat. The rule today is that women’s groups are fine; men’s groups are verboten. But you already knew that.

Born in Petit-Goâve, Haiti, Mr. Lindor was raised in a Coney Island housing project. The son of non-English speaking immigrants, Mr. Lindor and his family were wedged between a wealthy, white community on one end of the neighborhood and an impoverished and predominantly black population on the other. He asked himself: Why does my community look like this? Why does blackness look like this?


Though he had a similar racial background, he noted that the ghetto blacks in America, were very different from his own background.

It’s good that he’s able to see things wrong with America’s black communities, and try to do something about it.

They could move into the former Toys R US stores.

“Spaces.” There’s that word again. The left is obsessed with it.

They should go back to Africa. Maybe even go to Wakanda...

The Haitian immigrant community in Miami had businesses owned and run by Haitians, a low poverty rate, and a crime rate no where near what American blacks produced. Even Africans shake their heads at ghetto culture. Separate but equal beat the hell out of what we see now.

“For Us, by Us” = FUBU?

Wasn’t that an old brand of HipHop clothing back in the 90s?

No, it's not OK. It's another anti-white double standard.

Beginning around 1965 with the Civil Rights Act, both the legal aspects, but also as an expansive social pressure movement, all-white and then all-male social organizations have been relentlessly targeted to integrate.

By now almost all have.

Suddenly race based social clubs are OK again?

Obviously if it was a new whites only social club the attitude of the Times authors would be very different.

“He asked himself: Why does my community look like this? Why does blackness look like this?”

The “Bell Curve” has the answer. It’s a sad reality, but a reality it is.

I'm not sure about the "hip-hop" but FUBU made a bunch of designer athletic stuff. Mostly jerseys. I don't remember seeing any of their stuff for any team. IIRC, all of their gear had 05 for the number.

I was told the 05 was for the five "us"'s who founded the company.

No idea if they're still in business or not but they were pretty big with the A-A's back in the day.

The more colored people segregate themselves, the better.
