When the state - and that includes public schools - focuses on skin color, or allows groups to form focused on skin color, formulates assistance programs which separates recipients from non-recipients based on skin color, the state is, by definition, promoting racism. It does not matter which race benefits from the preferencial treatment, it is racist at its core. And as long as people see the state using race to differentiate people from one another, how the HELL are they "wrong" to do the same, i preference to their own race? (Again, it DOES NOT MATTER WHAT COLOR!)
The very existence of the "African American club" is racist. No, it does not matter that anyone can join according to the charter. The NAME implies who is and is not actually welcome. A "Caucasian-American" club would be assumed (correctly) to be racist with the same type of implication that non-whites are not welcome no matter WHAT the charter says.
The school was dead fucking WRONG with their actions. There is ZERO justification for it, period. There is no way they can legitimately justify the very existence of a club whose name implies racial-based membership. If their intent is to assist students at risk, then they should have taken each and every student falling in the same academic realm, not just a specific club whose membership has the same skin color as the speaker. They focused on race as a measure of special benefit, and THAT is the very definition of racism.
WHAT do you pea brained clowns think this teaches the children? That separating people according to skin color and treating them differently is ACCEPTABLE! As long as we have porridge brain twits willing to accept and even justify racist attitudes and race-based programs, then any and all racism in society is nothing less than an extension of what YOU ASSHOLES defend as acceptable because it is a "minority" being "helped".
Did it ever occur to you that the attitude that minorities need help JUST because they're minorities is, itself, rampantly racist? If a person needs help, it does not matter their race. They either need help or they do not. Accepting racist attitudes because the INTENT is to "help" some downtrodden minority is being taught as an acceptable practice, which in turn makes focus on race as a means of judging others acceptable, thereby making racism itself, acceptable.
Well, it is NOT acceptable. Only when our entire society actually develops an attitude that NO form of racism is acceptable, only then will we on our way to becoming a nation of true equality.
