Girl Starts Caucasian Club

Be serious. You think you need a special club or month to learn about white or European history? American classes teach world history with a huge focus on Euro history to the neglect of other parts of the world (Asian history is at least as incredible as European history and the Asian beat the Europeans to almost every cultural or scientific breakthrough - and why do we focus more on the amazing Roman and Greek civilizations than we do on that of the equally impressive Ancient Egypt? And why do we know more about the European conquistadors than the amazing Mayan civilization their guns killed right here in the Americas?). The answer is that America is a county that is primarily of White European decent and our history books and our culture have been established accordingly. This is not a surprise or a groundbreaking statement. There is no European-American history month because every mont his European-American history month. There are no "white girl job fairs" because the general white American community does not have centuries of oppression to overcome (and don't say it is irrelevant), and because many of you reading this would never call yourselves racist but know darn well if you will be honest with yourselves that your automatic brain reflex towards a black person and a white person are different and you subconsciously (hopefully it is subconscious) give other white people more intellectual credit than you do black people. Even in the NFL where most of the players are black - why do you think a guy like Sean Payton (who seems to be a freakin' genius, thank heavens we got him) gets a job so much quicker/easier than a guy like Marvin Lewis who is by any standards a defensive genius. Sean Payton even turned down the Oakland job a few years ago. Eric Mangini is in his thirties and who the hell ever heard of Rod Marinelli before? Why do yo think it took Denny Green so long to get a second chance when guys like Dennis Ericson routinely get second chances?

I understand your points and frustrations - but be real about the world we live in. I'm not saying that every white person is racist and blacks folks cannot succeed in America. I am saying that this country is geared in such a way that percentage-wise black Americans are not playing on an even playing field with the white majority. Be real, be honest, be compassionate, think about the motives of those who think that somehow minorities have an advantage in this country (which is ridiculous). And be honest with this question: do you think a girl that starts a caucasian club in school was raised by racist parents? I bet if there are 10 girls in the country trying to do it, the answer is yes for at least 9 of them. ANd I bet, despite your rants, you would agree with that.
