What do you think? I want to start an organization and call it The Race. You can guess which race I am.

It would be an advocacy group for my race.

No, not the whole "human race" only my ethnicity.

"later note: I hope all these people that say it's racist and wrong realize that La Raza, the organization that is promoting rights for illegal immigrants, translates to "The Race". But they're compassionate and just trying to help out people that want to better their lives. Whites with a group called "The Race" would be horrible monsters guilty of bigotry and hatred. Oh yeah, I see the fairness."
There is no excuse for racism.

I am against any organization that has a persons race in its title. I think that any organization that has race in its title is racist, whether it be white, black, yellow or brown or contain country of continent of origin. All organizations should be color blind.

Well if you're white and you want to start a group called the race, I would say go right ahead. You need to be taught a lesson about stupidity and I'm sure you will find the entire process quite educational and humbling... good luck with that. ;-)

Not necessarily.
But I believe the whole concept of having organizations for the advancement of any race is kind of rascist. Sheesh, everyone wants equality, but then they create these organizations that imply their ethnicity is somehow special. A real warped logic we've got these days. lol.

A racist by definition is "a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others."
If you believe this way, then you and your organization are racist.
If not.....don't worry about it.

Hopefully....the human race, or you're one smart monkey on the keyboard. LOL!
EDIT>>> Okay now you must be white, there is no problem with cultural pride, development, or education of it. But, if it starts to spurt out racial degradations of other races.....then yes it could be RACIST.

Not necessarily. Some may assume it would be an organization for runners. :)) I am guessing you are a member of the human race.

Yes it would be racist. Why don't you just join the NAACP? Division will get you no where.
