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.

WASTE      OF      BANDWIDTH

Theis is the pot calling the kettle bla... err... negr... err... colore... err african-american.

I don't understand why Blacks and Whites and Asians can't all get along, and feel equal to each other, when everyone knows that the Red Man is superior... ;0)

[cyborg]

responding to you cutting and pasting different posts of mine is a waste of bandwith indeed. I am confident that I've explained myself more than enough. You have yet to explain why you have addressed my #61 post. You look disingenuous, not me. Keep pinging your friends. I could care less.

Don't agree that wanting your children (or hoping) will marry own race, religion, etc is racist, necessarily. It could be; however it could also be just not wanting them let in for the culture hassle they would get from both sides. And there would be some kind of hassles on a regular basis, added to the already long list of juggling work, bills, time, money and how to spend it, whose family to visit (both might take offense), and on and on.

I was on the Texas A&M campus today in one of the Engineering buildings and saw a democrat with a TShirt, T Association of Black Engineers.

Is it ever going to stop?

Little 15 year old girl has the courage to challange all the PC crap and it just scares the h*ll out of a lot of people.

Hell, no!! I'm Scottish!!

I don’t think autoresponder gets it. Obviously responded to your earlier posts before getting as far as #61. Don’t know what the problem is now. I don’t think he will ever get it. Don’t think he wants to.

Maybe if you just ignore him, he’ll go away.

I'm not surprised that we start to see students "rebelling" in this way. It was inevitable as more and more liberal hypocracy creeped in. Teenagers are notorious for noting adult hypocracy and keen on rebelling to what they see as the status quo. As long as liberalism infests the school, I think we can be prepared to see more and more students "call them on it".

The high school has dealt with thorny racial issues in the recent past. In 2001, a black teacher found a noose made out of a shoelace hanging on the doorknob of his classroom. Tensions mounted again last year when a roped noose was found dangling from a redwood tree on campus.

Funny how a noose is automatically assumed to be rasist??? Why would a noose be anymore rasist than a gun? Or an electric chair?

t will be curious to see what happens in 20 years when "whites" are a minority in the US. I'm looking forward to collecting my affirmative action benefits then

Good luck..I'm not counting on the majority then to be as gracious.

I hope this girl's club becomes MORE POPULAR

Sort of like that t-shirt of the "fighting whities" a couple years back. They tried to insult whites by using that as a mascot and it kind of backfired. If there really were Caucasian clubs, you'd see more Hispanics than not trying to join them and probably blacks too. Sort of like the neighborhoods --- there are black, hispanic, and white and other neighborhoods --- but the only ones where people sue to get into are the white neighborhoods.

I hate the whole division by race thing. It assumes that blacks, whites and Aisians are all self contained monolithic units, marching in lockstep with all others of their race when nothing could be further from the truth.

I was brought up in an eastern Massachusetts mill town where ethnic and nationality based social clubs were very strong. We had the British Club, The Sons of Italy, the Portugeese Club, the Sons of Greece, Turnverin Hall (German), the Lithuanian Club, etc.

These were all places where folks got together, drank, smoked and spoke the old languages while celebrating their native ancient customs, unless it was St Patricks Day when we all turned Irish.

They all assimilated and were proud of both their heritage and their American citizenship.

I never heard of a Lebanese Club or a Liberian Club or a Korean Club.

Pretty much... it backfired big time, and that's my stance on it. Rush is pretty much right about demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.

[cyborg]

did they discern the intent? I don't know. Was the teacher being as a-hole and that was students' revenge? A noose is not necessarily racist, and a confrontation between a black person and a white person is not always a racial event.

So glad the weekend is here.

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

I agree. It gives the Left another excuse, no matter how unfounded, to scream racist.

[TLI]

To the non-Caucasian, the Aryan types DO appear to be supermen.

We are good, but we aint THAT good...

They do not recognize that the Anglos suffer from all the same doubts and fears that the "rainbow people" do.

We do? Since when? Or is it just you?
