The NAACP awards. Essentially, "black people" in the arts awards. What would happen if there were "white people" awards? Or "straight/heterosexual parades"? What are you opinions on these "exclusive" events?

anhil8tor Wrote:Why don't they have american indian awards?My point exactly. Halle Berry's Oscar speech pissed me off. Let's be clear - she is 50% white, and 50% black. Yet, she accepted to award on behalf of African Americans everywhere. And her speech pointed out how under acknoweldged they are. What next? 100% black people up in arms cause a half-white women won?
Mexican awards?

Gay parades - same shit. They want to be accepted and blend in. SO, why the fuck would you get naked and parade yourself down the street, yelling about how different you are? Ugh.

What are you opinions on these "exclusive" events?I don't think that race, religion, color, sex, sexual preference, or anything else should allow any kind of distinction whatsoever when it comes to publicly funded events or activities.
Now, if it is a privately funded event, such as a church, then obviously you have to allow for distinctions. Catholics can have their church, etc. Same with bathrooms. Men get one and women get another one. Same with schools, you can have a catholic school.
Some golf courses still do not allow certain races or religions, and as long as they are funded by completely private funds, then I think that is okay. I think a time will come when even those places will lose their will to maintain that heritage.
So, to your question, if the NAACP gives awards and their organization is a privately funded organization, then they can do that.

Our police force was becoming a melting pot of underqualified minorities for a while there. They still have a certain percentage of minorities they have to hire though.

There is no organization for the advancement of white people. Well there is, but the KKK pitch for the "KuKKies" wasn't bought ABC or any other ntworks.
I'm not against NAACP awards per se.

I'm not against the NCAAP awards per se, either. I'm just wondering about the backlash if we tried to have, for lack of better terminology, WASP awards. Excluding all others.

These types of organizations fill in voids that need filling. Like lobbying groups. If enough people feel strongly about something and they are willing to contribute money toward it, then it will happen.

Ideologically, I have more of an issue with the "gay" parades, because they endeavour to educate (so they say) and to implore people to accept them. However, how does drawing that much attention to how different you are make it educational? In my opinion, running down a street dressed in S&M wear (which no one is allowed to do under normal circumstances) educational?

if you would like to run down a street naked to promote these opinions - I would gladly join you (but only because I also feel very strongly about what you're saying)

Being a gay man simply means that you like to be fucked up the ass by other men. Being a gay woman means that you like to eat pussy rather than be fucked by a man. These are sexual desires or preferences. There are people that like to fuck farm animals. People that like to molest children. People that like to be tortured and have their genitals disfigured.
Sexual perversions take on many shapes and forms. But none of them, should ever be used as a reason for any kind of public freedom or special treatment.

Why would you want to?Minority slave labor built more than half the United States so if they want to have an awards ceromony celebrating how far they have come and pointing out outstanding individuals in their group than more power to them.
As far as gays "drawing attention" to themselves at their parades by wearing S & M gear its all about tolerance not education.I know some of those outfits are over the top but I guess my question to you is how do you like your gays?If thats what they want to do so what, their not looking for your approval.I think they are just showing that with the diverse crowd they draw that they are people just like you or I and shouldnt be denied rights that so called normal people are provided.Im sure a small percentage of gays who show up are in bondage gear but it makes people uncomfortable so thats what people focus on.
