Since when is mocking "gangstas" racist? When did we pass an amendment that gave us the right NOT to be offended in this country? How were anyone's civil liberites denied them by this party? Why is an "investigation" being conducted? What are they looking for? What do they plan on doing, if they find what they are looking for?

I'm sure if a bunch of black people got together and put on tight pants, danced horribly and reenacted some of history's conquests --- Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be nowhere to be seen.

Actually it would probably be a hilarious YOU TUBE video that everyone would be laughing at, blacks and whites alike.

Just shows how high, or low in this case, your intellect really is.  As far as this thread goes, I stay away from the racial threads that are littered all over the place on this particular forum board.  Why? Because people have their opinions, no matter how warped they are.  There are things I find very racist here and in other threads but keep my comments out of them because some people are still in the 40's and 50's and not much you can do about that.

Well, in this instance the organization is designed to "show that black youths can be good in more than just sports".

"The club, which attracts mainly African-American professionals, is made up of about 60 percent singles, 35 percent couples and 5 percent families."
Doesn't actively exclude. Most of the membership happens to be black (though not all).

"The mission of the African American Academy is to meet the needs of African American and all children"
Once again, though the student body is mostly black the school doesn't discriminate.

So the title of these clubs, " African American Club" doesn't throw a flag??

Unfortunately the term racist in America today seems to be defined as any NON-minority who disagrees with a minority for any reason. We have Jackson, Sharpton and a few others to thank for this.

Because all this 'multiculturalism' and 'equality' crap has made people into twitchy dickheads that point fingers and accuse racism/sexism/discrimination at anything even remotely controversial.

Whining like that should be punishable by electric shock. If you ain't prepared to be shocked in order to make your complaint, it ain't worth it.

Damn straight. And those two morons are a couple of the biggest Ass-Hat Racists in the whole country. God help you if you ever say anything like that though. Bunch of bullshit.

They don't discriminate in their memberships so I fail to see how you think it's racist.

Well if a Scholarship that is given exclusivly to black students and to no others, but a scholarship to be given to a white only is racist, then yes it is racist. The high school I attended had a scholarship for Blacks only. It was some fund the NAACP donated to or some crap. Fucking racist.

lowing just for future notice in case you find yourself in the Black Face Situation... Black Face is always racist even though sometimes it might be pulled off ex.. A halloween costume of Flavor Flav or OJ or something that hopefully everyone will get, if they don't you might have trouble.....

Other then that I don't see anything bad or racist about the party.....
