-The NAACP exists
-There is a BET
-There is a black Miss USA pageant
-There are black scholarships
-There is Affirmative Action
-There are black clubs and organizations
I mean...do you really not know? Or are you just pretending to be stupid to prove a point?
I'm curious.

1. To help black people when there were not treated unjustly.
2. It is entertainment for black people becuase most of the programs are not geared to black people
3. How often do you see Black people represented in these pageants?
4. Whether you want to believe it or not there are gate keepers for these types of thing and black scholarship programs not only consider race but academic acheivement as well
5. When is affirmative action really used?
6. To uplift the black community. Black people only make up 13 % of the U.S. pop. these groups help to organize black people to improve black communities and to support one another.

I'm offended you idiot, where do you come off saying "you people?" What's THAT suppose to mean? What if I were to say, "Why do YOU PEOPLE straighten your hair?" Tryin' to be white? Or non-black?
I know why all those stupid things exist, .....Negroes are racist! And feel the whole white world owes them everything. Thats why you get a free ride everywhere you go. Thats why my tax dollars are buying your ribs and pork chops and steaks...(food stamps). Thats why you get section 8 housing. Miss Black USA? Dont make me laugh! Thats the only real way a black would honestly win.
Simply stated....reverse discrimination.
Oh, I see I made you mad.
Not surprising, "you people" are always mad about something.
You just cant handle someone elses opinion.

Relative lack of oppurtunities, living in a country where white standards dominate and they have less representation.
I wonder the same thing as you.
To Renee below me:
I see by one of your other questions that you are looking at getting a B.A. in psychology and possibly becoming a counselor. That is scary. I suggest you are the one needing counseling!!

i believe they started because the media before was dominated by white people like movie stars and televison shows, this is a chance to bring to the African American community stars of their own kind. i cannot explain affirmative action LOL that sounds like a trap.

the naacp served its purpose and needs to go away.
bet exists to prove that its possible to broadcast **** on tv
black miss usa exists because the ghetto booty is ugly and white people dont need to see that ****
black scholarships are there because some of them can actually read.
affirmative action is as racist as the kkk and needs to disappear
black clubs and organizations are ok, id rather not associate with most of them anyways

Here's a few points for you:
1) Africans sold their families into slavery to Spain LONG before Europeans arrived on the scene.
2) I've never owned a human
3) I'm personally sick to death of people holding everyone but themselves responsible for their lives, their education, blah blah
4) Every heritage on earth is celebrated but we have to call our celebrations "Eurofests" to avoid the "white" word.
5) Affirmative action is a joke.
6) Most of the SERIOUS racists I have met are NOT white
"Judge not by the color of one's skin, but the content of their character"
huh. I'll die long before THAT happens. People are idiots, for the most part.

I think that people who claim to not know why these organizations exist just want to start trouble, and that's a damn shame. It just makes me mad when certain white people get on here and gripe about it.
You're welcome!!!!!
**I know exactly what you're talking about, Stacey, and you are in no shape, form, or fashion a racist person. I've seen how you've already responded to dozens of these stupid questions some of these people ask. You are just as pissed off at stuff as I am!!

I think some people can't understand why black people have these organizations because they weren't born when there was alot of open racism in the country toward black people, so they don't how blacks have been degraded. All they see is that black people have things that they don't don't and it makes them upset. Older people do know, they are just racist and dumb.
