[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 3197660, member: 684"] Right outta the gate let me stress that I am [B][U]NOT[/U][/B] a racist. I believe that hating a human being just because of their skin color is absolutely absurd. I didn't choose to be white just like others didn't choose to be black...or brown...or yellow...or purple... :blahblah: Most of us have seen the video of the two girls, one with black paint on her face making the comment that she did. As others, I feel like they were wrong in doing so. However... While watching the news this morning, I saw where two black girls were asked their thoughts. The were both members of OU's Black Student Association. [URL]http://www.ou.edu/studentlife/diverse_communities/african_americanstudentlife/BSA[/URL] :lookaroun Call me crazy, but this seems like a form of racism to me. I mean...can white kids join? Or Asian kids? Or Hispanics? What would be the opinion of everybody if there was a White Student Association? Anybody else feel the same way as I do? Not trying to stir anything up, but I just don't understand this whole race thing. Just like black people hate the "N" word, but all day long at my work, I hear 18/19 year old black males (and sometimes females) call each other that very thing! :anyone: [/QUOTE]
