Gosh, this post that started out alright, took a very wrong (and nasty) direction about half way through.

I hate to point this out, but the majority of "white" folks don't live in fancy mansions, make the laws, or oppress minorities.

To be sure, that most of these fellows are of the white race, but the dividing line between in America has never been drawn between white and all others, but rather between the haves and the have-nots.

And sure, there are many "white" folks who feel disenfranchised from society and have chosen to speak a message of hate, but these guys are the bottom of barrel kind of guys and it's the same all across our cultural rainbow.

I guess what I'm trying to say is there are ignorant people everywhere or every color and while "the man" may be white he looks at me with the same contempt he looks at every other nasty poor person. Unless he's slumming for votes

Back to the question....I think all these clubs are stupid. I think the Latin grammys, the Essence awards and all the rest aren't celebrating culture, but rather cashing in on a demographic. Remember the first year of the Latin grammys? It was on CBS and they were pumping hundreds of ads starting about six months before the actual show. Latin music was hot and so were the Latin grammys. This year the show came and went without 1/4 of the hoopla that surrounded the first one.

If she wants to start a Caucasian club then I see no problem with it. On my campus, we have an African-American club, an Asian club, and a Rich folks club (they don't call it that, but every member's family makes a comfortable living)

If you're going to disband her club, then to be fair you should disband them all.
