To affirm the right of "association" is fine. But to claim that this white prom was not racially based is absurd. Segregation is the heart of racism. And I hate it for the way it twists the minds of our young.

I happen to agree with you but, if you are going to hold up "white only" functions as racist then you need to clarify that "all" racially segregated functions and clubs are just as racist.

If you are willing to do so you will show yourself to be a truly compassionate conservative however, if you start spouting off nonsense about "cultural events and organizations" you will show yourself to be yet another Liberal bigot that thinks only "white" people can be racists.

At the risk of sounding cliche' "whats good for the goose is good for the gander" and when people wander in here condeming "white only" functions a racist and call Black,Hispanic, Oriental or other ethnically segragated functions and clubs "cultural in nature" I have to question their true commitment to ending racism.

See #67, 68, and 77. They came before your post #80, so you can see that your point was already on my mind.

So, do I get an "A" for the class, or what?
