The country clubs around Chicago used to be like this; there were several high-end clubs whose membership was predominantly Jewish. I don’t think they discriminated against any member applicant who was not Jewish, but the membership appeared to be geared toward those applicants who were very well-educated and professionally successful. In this, they didn’t differ from most other high-end clubs in the Chicago area.
Meh, they’re Dems, so any misstep is considered accidental and acceptable.
Looks like the move to kick camel toe out is starting
hmmmmm....it used to be JEWS that couldn’t get into Private Clubs!!
Whoreizontal & Dug are quite the power couple.
Anybody think this might be the first salvo in getting rid of Kamala?
Gee, what are the odds that the MSM will even ask a question about the Club? Oh no, not about the suit and its charges, OH NO, more like “how’s you golfing going Mr. Emhoff? See that’s the type of questions Lib get and of course answer with “golf games doing ok”. See, now the press can say “we asked about the golf club and that was answered”, “next topic!”.
“... rejects anyone not white or Jewish in blockbuster lawsuit...”
That place sounds like the functional definition of what we USED to call ‘discrimination’.
“White or Jewish”? That could be seen as implying that those are two different groups. The club is largely Jewish and takes in some White but non-Jewish members. I guess it could hard to put that into a headline,
“A biracial marriage, where Plaintiff’s wife and children have Hispanic heritage?” Is that truly “biracial”? Or is it just that the wife’s side of the family spoke Spanish?
So what is Shambala? White or “black”?
I never imagined I would be defending Kamala Harris, but if they don’t let non-whites in, then what is she doing there?
Who cares, if they want an exclusive membership it is their business.
When/where I grew up the only criteria for joining a country club was that you had to be perceived as having a large amount of money and a supercilious attitude towards anyone without it, and you had no issues with feeling up any young women who staffed the events.
Jew-bashing has become extremely fashionable.
Again.
Meanwhile, we are re-defining MORE terms & phrases like:
* Vaccine
* Never Again!
* Love
* Family
I belonged to an all Jewish Golf and Country club back in the 80s that was exactly like this.
I bet Kamala isn’t listed as “black” on her membership form.
Los Angeles Country Club and the Jonathan Country Club would not admit Jewish people as members, no matter how well qualified or distinguished. Eventually, some Jews got together and created the Hillcrest Country Club in 1920 so they would have a place they could join.
Despite all efforts, the LACC continued to discriminate against Jewish people clear into the 1980’s (when I lost track...but perhaps other FRers can update for us).
Typical elitist Leftardism— ‘good for thee but not for me’.
They never seem to lead by example or practice what they preach. Biggest hypocrites on the planet, bar none.
Every big city has at least one club that is still mostly Jewish and was entirely or nearly entirely Jewish for most of the 20th century. The better the club, the higher percentage it remains Jewish. Hillcrest is that club for LA - nothing special about it.
The allegation of bias against a member because his wife is Hispanic is almost certainly bogus. For younger members (and that’s under 60 for a place like Hillcrest) that’s got to be at least 10% of the wives, if not more.
The reason why there were Jewish country clubs was because the Jews were not allowed in the nicer country clubs in cities across the United States. Jews and black were not allowed so they opened their own clubs.
Almost every major metropolitan city has a Jewish country club that today is accepting of all memberships but again they are private clubs and you have to be sponsored by a member to join.
