White Backlash to Racially Oriented Groups

[JonNC]

JonNC:

My question about this is why would we even consider having any clubs based on the amount of melanin in one’s skin?
I frankly think it is idiotic regardless of who does it.

The idea that in order to get rid of racial discrimination we have to discriminate based on race is also idiotic.

I absolutely agree. Identity politics is bigotry regardless of its source.

Did you ever see the Spongebob Squarepants episode where to get into the cool beach club the characters had to be a certain level of tan?

Was that the one where he tans so much the sun bleaches him white and is hailed as having the ultimate “tan”?

We finally agree on something.

But I suppose you disagree with me in taking this a step further in saying that not everyone has to agree with me, and people should be ABLE to have clubs based on skin melanin levels if they want to.

I agree with that.

I’m a white person.

I wouldn’t join an all-white club and in fact I’d vigorously speak out against it and express my opinion that other whites shouldn’t join.

But I wouldn’t actually try to shut down an all-white club (or an all-black club, or a motorcycle club); I’d respect their choice and not judge their motives. If I belonged to an all-Catholic club I wouldn’t want the government shutting it down.

All humanity is fundamentally tribal in nature. Society and technology have evolved since prehistory from tribes to nations, states and empires, however people have not changed that much. But it’s badthink to point that out.

I am not sure it is 'badthink", but it is misaligned with the Good News.

I’m guessing Hibernians and similar organizations are “all white”, but not because they’re trying to be “white”. It’s because they’re trying to be Irish.
