Oakley (AP) - Lisa McClelland says she isn't a racist. She says her campaign for a Caucasian Club at Freedom High School in the eastern Contra Costa County town of Oakley is a move toward diversity, not bigotry.

McClelland says everyone is invited - and nobody will be excluded.

OH boy, that's a brave kid. But if they allow clubs for other ethnicities, they'll have to allow this one. I think.

Oakley (CA) student starts Caucasian Club on campus

Racist?. Is this group/club, whatever, anymore racist that the NYC Police group 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement?

My, my, my, where's the tolerace that the left so frequently spews?

[Snake Eater]

<> And the NAACP doesn't???

I was just reading this story in the Contra Costa Times. This just infuriates me. There can be Hispanic clubs, African-American clubs, Asian clubs, but let somebody want a Caucasian club, and the cries of "Racism!!" start ringing out. What a bunch of flamin' hypocrites! Some jerk even brings up the KKK and David Duke!!

Oh, that's rich.

"Turner says he thinks the club will create racial tension."

What does he think his group does?

[AppyPappy]

"He can't do that to our pledges. Only we can do that to our pledges"

Do you have to be from the Caucasus to join??

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[freeangel]

Go Lisa!! This club is long overdue.

[biblewonk]

Yo Archie, check this out!

Boy da way Glen Miller Played...

Songs that made the hit parade...

[pogo101]

Or, how about the White Devils? (I mean, it doesn't HAVE to be taken as racial. There are the Duke Blue Devils, after all.)

[dighton]

[Kuksool]

Rather than push for a Caucasian Club, the student should push for a Southern Heritage Club. This club would promote diversity by educating the student body about the culture of the Deep South.

[biblewonk]

There couldn't be much more racial tension in the USA than there already is.

[newgeezer]

Yeah, well, as Archie would say, "Whoop-de-doo. That little girl's got too much time on her hands. And, what's she doing in college, anyways? Edith, get me a beer."

[Akira]

Come on, only krackers can be rascists!

[SwinneySwitch]

McClelland's ethnic background includes American Indian, Hispanic, Dutch, German, Italian and Irish.

She is an other too - how about an Others Club?

[biblewonk]

LOL! No, he wouldn't have gone without saying something about those other "minerorities" and their clubs.

[gracie1]

It's about freakin time.

[HurkinMcGurkin]

(I mean, it doesn't HAVE to be taken as racial. There are the Duke Blue Devils, after all.)

The Blue Man Group should sue.

So what is the racial makeup of Freedom High School?

[george wythe]

In my humble opinion, this club is just a cry for attention, not a legitimate ethnic club.

Caucasians do not have a strong ethnic bondage similar to blacks or Hispanics.

On the other hand, Caucasians have always been members of exclusive ethnic clubs with natural bondage.

For instance, my wife is a member of the Danish-American Society and the Danish-American Chamber of Commerce. I have accompanied her to Danish-American conventions, and all I saw for the whole weekend was lily-white, tall, good looking people :-) [Yeah, I like long-legged, blonde Danish women]

I'm sure that an Italian-American club, or an Armenian-American club or a Greek-American club will have a much stronger raison d'etre than a Caucasian-American club.

[norraad]

Irish~oriental stand-up comedian on one of the late-late night shows last night said because he's Irish-asian he was..., cau..casian.

[theFIRMbss]

>my wife is a member of the Danish-American Society

I swear, people start
clubs over anything now.
But, yes, Danish rule!

[george wythe]

yes, Danish rule!

Don't tempt me . . . I'm in the Atkin's diet

[FITZ]

Caucasians do not have a strong ethnic bondage similar to blacks or Hispanics.

But why not? How are French, German, Greeks, Irish any less connected than Puerto Ricans, Spaniards, Guatemalans, Colombians, Argentinians? I can see how blacks might have a certain bond because most are descended from slaves but not the others.

Darnell Turner, first vice president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Turner says he thinks the club will create racial tension.

In other words, it's ok for US to be exclusive, but not for whitey.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

One person who won't be signing up is Darnell Turner, first vice president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Turner says he thinks the club will create racial tension.

Everybody knows creating racial tension is the NAACP's job.

[Liberal Classic]

Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!
Come see the violence inherent in the system!

[Ciexyz]

Brave girl, there.

[Ciexyz]

The local Yugo-slav club is only 25% Yugoslavian. The rest are people who wanted to get in on the parties.

[WhiteGuy]

I may start a club for WhiteGuys

[george wythe]

The way I see it, there is a difference between a German-American club/Irish-American club and a Caucasian-American club.

I've been to Oktober Fest but I've never been to Caucasian Fest.

I go to St Patrick's Day celebrations but I've never been to St Caucasian Patron's parties.

Hispanics are made up of all races, therefore only a strong bond dealing with language, religion, and music can sustain an ethnic club for Hispanics; the same can be said about German-Americans and Greek-Americans, for instance.

Every year I go to the local Greek-American festival about the local Greek Orthodox Church, and I know what to expect.

I wonder what a Caucasian-American festival at a local Caucasian-American church will look like.

[BenLurkin]

Won't last . . .

[spodefly]

This is not good. The last thing we need in this country is for white people to start banding together because of their race. It is wrong that blacks do it, and I am not in favor of all the race-specific items that they come up with both politically and socially (Congressional Black Caucus, Miss Black America, etc.)

When whites start this sort of thing it is really the case of 2 wrongs don't make a right. Yes, whites are a minority on a global scale (only about 10% of the global population.) But a white racial movement in the US would be a set-back to all the things we say are wrong in race relations -- the race-centric politics and race specific serepations. Defining and seperating yourself because of your skin color is stupid no matter who does it. Better that we get past this condition rather than exascerbating it.

"....I wonder what a Caucasian-American festival at a local Caucasian-American church will look like."

It'll be great! Balony sandwiches on white bread, Yankee Pot Roast, you know, all those ethnic foods. (Ethnic to me cuz I go home to beans and torillas.)

Alright Lisa! You go, girl!

I think it will be quickly squelched by the principal, who is probably more concerned with being PC and showing diversity (read: appeasing minorities) than with any real student rights. She might as well wear a KICK ME sign around school.

[norton]

Idiot!

You'll never go to a Kwansaa party in Africa either.

There are no warm fuzzy 'relationships' between Hutu and Tutsi in Rwanda, between Ibo and whomever in Nigeria, or between Bushmen and Zulu, and on and on and on....

There is no reason why Brits and Serbs should not be included in a larger entity - it's called inclusion (rather than diversity).

Since African-American and "hispanic" are geographic descriptions, she might have gone for 'euro-Americans' but we don't get that option on our census forms.
And by the way:
"caucasian" includes a bunch of people you'd not imediately identify as "white".

Oh, the irony!

[george wythe]

I respectfully disagree with your incoherent rantings

[malakhi]

Balony sandwiches on white bread, Yankee Pot Roast, you know, all those ethnic foods.

Don't forget casserole. And Jello. And bars for desert.

[=Intervention=]

Think about it. In a world where white males are tarred as evil, racist, misogynist scum, why wouldn't they team up? They do have a common culture -- one of being increasingly persecuted by the law, the press, and "conventional wisdom". This is turn will drive them straight into the arms of racists, who have been promulgating "white power" for years and years. The true tragedy of this is the oncoming point in time where many whites will see little to lose by acting out violently against the government system. I hope it never comes, but combining the tension at having to support a discriminatory government, your jobs being outsourced to foreigners, and your kids and wives and income taken away from you by law will eventually raise matters to a boiling point.

Man! Talk about the pot calling the kettle bla......... uh, never mind.

"Caucasians do not have a strong ethnic bondage similar to blacks or Hispanics."

What planet do you reside on? I am White, I am proud to be White. If given a choice, I would on pain of death never be any other race (fill in the blank) than White.

I know it was Whites who founded and made this country, (au contraire to the commie revisionists and new speak history as it may evolve on any given day to please a targeted audience for vote pandering) America would not, nor could not exist, except for those Whites who gave all for it's birth. If liberals would have been in power, that birth would have been aborted then, and even today, they still seek a bloody late term abortion of America's true national heritage.

If perhaps you and some others do not agree, then go pound sand, for I give not a tinker's damn as to your thoughts on the matter.

[Verginius Rufus]

I don't think this will work, at least not until they resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute...the Armenians and Azeris don't get along too well, and the Georgians are having trouble with the Abkhazis. And what about the Circassians, Ossetians, Dagestanis, Chechens, etc.--are they eligible to join too?
