OAKLEY, Calif. (AP) - A Freedom High School freshman has run up against opposition in her quest to start a Caucasian Club.

A local NAACP leader says Lisa McClelland's proposed club, which would be open to all races and ethnicities, smacks of racial division, a charge the 15-year-old denies. McClelland says she and some of her friends simply feel a bit slighted since other school clubs cater to specific cultures and races, such as the Black Student Union and the Asian Club.

Sounds like a high school girl looking for student unity to me!

Why not form an "American Club"?

I hate to play the race games with these Leftist fools.

Funny the NAACLP has an objection to a Caucasian Club. Aren't these the same folks who continue to insist Californians MUST continue to identify themselves by race, color, gender, and sexual preference? And they have the nerve to tell a white girl she can't do what they themselves advocate! Liberal hypocrisy at work.

Sounds like fifteen minutes of fame to me...

From the article...

Elliott Perez, 14, a sophomore at Freedom who is Hispanic and white, also said the school could benefit from McClelland's club.

"I think it's fair for white people to have their own club, because every other race has their own club," he said.

Every once in a while, a nugget of truth sneaks out.

Sounds like a high school girl loking for equal rights to me.
It was only a matter of time before it came to this. White people are treated unfairly when it comes being proud of their roots. We are not allowed to say Im proud to be white!We are called racists and bigots if we choose to hang out with other whites or if we want our children to marry other whites.
Yet the other side gets to have special events, clubs and they are allowed to say I am black and proud.

Who do blacks think they are to tell whites whether or not whites can have their own organizations?

two wrongs don't make a right... besides according to you the founder of the caucasian club wouldn't be anyone white since she isn't quite white herself.

I've started European history/culture clubs before, and never had a problem. Maybe it's because I actually talked about something instead of white pride rubbish that doesn't get anywhere.

[N3WBI3]

Sometimes the only way to let someone see how stupid they are being is to repeat to them what they say. We need mor minority student groups... (girl) we need a white studant group.. (minority) but thats divisive...

Of cource it will never occure to them but what else can you do..

I'm pretty sure I missed the part where she said anything about white pride. Isn't that bread ?

[ventana]

I am with you! V's wife.

One of the posters was addressing white pride. I was pointing out that merely talking about pride in one's skin tone is ridiculous. Such tit for tat behavior doesn't get anywhere. Now tell me what has this girl's club actually done that's positive? Nothing much.

Something comes to mind about a pot calling a kettle something or other.

Maybe or maybe not, but in this case, they do illustrate a good point. Either its OK for all people to associate freely with whom they choose or it isn't OK for anybody.

[cyborg]

I understand her point. It's her right to form the club. I just see it as joining the liberal pigs down in their pigpen. I hate liberals and do my best not to imitate them.

"or if we want our children to marry other whites."

It's been said tht one will know porn when they see it.
This also holds true with racism and yup, I that's racist.

Couldn't give a rats ass what color of skin the person my kids marry has.

[TheBigB]

You can't fight the pigs by standing outside the pen.

"I was pointing out that merely talking about pride in one's skin tone is ridiculous. Such tit for tat behavior doesn't get anywhere."

Perhaps not, but that doesn't mean it should be "forbidden", which is the point.

[Conservateacher]

let me try this again with corrections.
