And by the way, I'm a non-white person myself. I'm just wondering why there are organizations for blacks and hispanics, but if white people were to organize a "white people" only club there would be a huge uproar from other races? It seems like it is prefectly legitimate for blacks or hispanics to have clubs, organizations, magazines, etc. that are specifically for people of their race, but it white people try to do the same thing, they are called racist and accused of committing hate crimes. I am not trying to stir up trouble by asking this question as I really do want to know what people think about this. I notice this a lot because I am of a minority race, but I appear white, so I get discrimated against by minorities who think I'm white. It sucks!

It's all about being politically correct. The other groups are considered minorities, and in estados unidos minorities need special treatment.

Yours is a deep question.I am sorry I don't have the time right now to give you a more detailed answer. The reason there are a lot of groups for blacks and minorities is because historically we were excluded from joining organizations with white members.The organizations were also formed to help advance our issues and causes .
Whites do have some organizations for their particular race or culture. I can think of the Ancient Order of Hibernians for Irish Americans and the Sons of Italy for Italian Americans to name a few. I don't think there is a HUGE uproar over these types of cultural clubs. I do think there is a HUGE uproar over white hate groups such as the Arian Brotherhood and the Klu Klux Clan.

i think of that is in basic terms an common case of judging the entire from a elect few. Like a white guy or woman judging all blacks to be uneducated cocaine dealing welfare sponges through fact of dealings with a elect few in that class. comparable is going for an knowledgeable black family individuals living next to a gaggle of white crack hoes. Or 10 mexicans who pile into one pickup truck. that isn't the great race that could desire to be judged with the help of those elect few...they merely provide the race a nasty call or a nasty rap.....and that stinks! i'm very fortunate that I truthfully have on no account been prejudiced against and that i'm hoping on no account to in my opinion come upon it. i understand that I truthfully have racist ideas each now and then and understand that i circulate beserk once I see the mexicans down the line leaving their beer cans on the backyard jointly as they crank up their freekin' circus music and letting their chickens run amok by the streets. yet to think of that each black guy who I see drives a Mercedes might desire to have stolen that is barely asinine. i'm hoping you incredibly do see the coolest in each race and in each physique....i think of it would make the international a plenty greater user-friendly place to stay in.

Bless your heart. Thanks for asking this. I am one of those white people. We do have a lot of organizations for whites but none that I would want to participate in.
I also think that most Black or minority organizations would welcome a white person. Most, just not all.
I believe these organizations, books, magazines were started so the minority would not feel left out. Ebony is one good example and BET television is another example. I enjoy both of them.
Thanks for asking the question. I bet you are a beautiful person.

I think it is because the country majority are whites they're born in the country where's some black or other race they're migrants and they need this community to keep inform. But since you are worried about it why not start now, take actions it is never too late.

None of these so-called organizations/clubs, of which you don't name any specifically, can be joined by any person, not just minorities. The problem is that most whites WON'T...

Usually what happens, when Whites try to make a special club for themselves, is that lots of non-Whites (Blacks, Mestizos, Jews) show up and apply for membership. When they get turned away, they file a lawsuit against the White group in court and the judge "decides" that illegal discrimination has occured, so to compensate them for this "injustice" the non-Whites get to have all the property and money that used to belong to the White club and its members.
Of course, when the club is a Black club, or a Latino club, or, especially, a Jewish club, Whites do not have recourse to the courts. If they try to join, they'll be refused, and perhaps beaten for their trouble. Then, when the rejected White person tries to file a lawsuit (say, against the ADL), he finds that no lawyer will take the case. If by some miracle he can get a lawyer to take the case, the judge will find some excuse to rule against his claim.
Let's go over that again.
1. Black applies to White club for membership. Black is rejected. Black sues White club in court. Black wins.
2. Jew applies to White club for membership. Jew is rejected. Jew sues White club in court. Jew wins.
3. White applies to Black club for membership. White is rejected (and maybe beaten up). White sues Black club in court. Blacks win.
4. White applies to Jewish club for membership. White is rejected (and given lots of verbal abuse). White sues Jewish club in court. Jews win.
Do we see a pattern here? What the courts enforce isn't really justice, because justice is no longer what the laws aim to establish. In its place is a system of political favor in which Whites are at the bottom of the totem pole. Jews are on the top, and the other racial minorities come somewhere in between.

THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED A MILLION TIMES. BLACKS HAVE THEIR OWN ORGANIZATIONS BECAUSE IN THE PAST WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO JOIN WHITE ORGANIZATIONS. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO INTO GREAT DETAIL ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THERE ARE PLENTY OF WHITE ORGANIZATIONS. JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T USE THE WORD 'WHITE' IN THE NAME DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT FOR WHITES. ALSO ALOT OF THE BLACK ORGANIZATIONS WELCOME EVERYBODY BUT MOST WHITES WON'T JOIN THEM ANYWAY. PEOPLE LOOK AT THIS SITUATION FROM ONE MINDSET AND THEY DON'T STOP TO LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE. IF YOU DID THIS YOU WOULD SEE WHY DIFFERENT ETHNICITIES HAVE THEIR OWN ORGANIZATIONS

Because America has devolved into a country that punishes those that not only made the country but make it great i.e. white people. This has caused a lot of resentment and there is a lot of anger boiling under the surface in white America. Soon or later this anger will boil over.....
