What inequality?

How 'bout addressing the issue? If equality is good for one segment of society, then it should be good for all.

There is/are no:

NAAWP
WET
Congressional White Caucus
White Police Officer's Assn.
Historically White Colleges
etc.

I take it you do approve of this inequality? BTW, at what hypothetical future point-in-time would you say there would not be a need for the NAACP and like organizations?

There is an NAAWP, run by David Duke. Also, though these colleges label themselves "Historically Black Colleges," based on how and why they evolved, no white person is denied admission or discouraged from attending any of them. I attended one and there were quite a few whites in its professional schools.

Institutions and organizations with the word "Black," African American" "Hispanic" or whatever in them usually were started in response to real or perceived inequality in the form of exclusion from opportunity.

Now you and I know that legally, blacks and others are not legally excluded from opportunities but history continues to shape many social, economic and other opportunities no matter what the laws say. Until each of us feels we don't need entities like the NAACP they will continue to exist. I personally can get by without them but then I've never been faced with a situation that I couldn't handle myself.
