Hi Noel

For the most part I agree with you, the country club atmosphere is a horrid one, and the amount of human indecencies are endless against minorities. In basketball legend Bill Russell's autobiography, he talks about having to sit in the back of the team bus when they traveled south; and how sometimes he and his black teamates would go hungry because they wouldn't serve blacks (he used the n word, but no sense in doing that here) in the restaurants his white teamates frequented. The amount of human atrocities reaped upon minotities is endless; and I'm not singling out the south, most southern blacks when asked why they didn't move to the north would reply something like, at least in the south the snakes are out in the open. My point in this lyric is do two wrongs ever make a right? By the actions of predominantly black organazations excluding whites, does this tell you that had the tables been reversed and blacks had been the majority, would they have behaved any less abhorently than their white counterparts? In what way does having a b.e.t. enhance integration? Yes there is no need for a w.e.t. perhaps I was being somewhat sarcastic to make my point. Hopefully I haven't offended too many folks. I could go on about statistics, but mayor Dinkens, a black man, got elected in NYC with 12% of the population deemed to be black; well trust me it wasn't the jews, the irish or the italians who voted him in. The fact is that minorities refuse to fill out census forms, as they are afraid of gov't intervention, rightfully so, but the census statistics determine what school districts get best funded, so round and round it goes.
