I have often found it amazing that different groups of people would separate themselves by race, gender, etc., and then snivel about racism.

Listen up, one and all, if you form a group to separate yourself by race, gender, etc., then you are participating in a racist activity!!!!

It may not be a popular viewpoint, but it is true.

I am white.  I am married to a very dark brown man, he is half American-Mexican and half American-Indian.  Neither one of us can join the NAACP---because we do not have black skin.

My husband cannot join the KKK because he does not have white skin.

I am not saying that the NAACP commits the same heinous acts as the KKK.  What I am saying is that both organizations, along with a long list of other organizations, do separate based on race, on the color of a person's skin.  That, in my book, is wrong.  No matter how pretty you wrap the package, no matter what size bow you put on the package.

In my children's high school, there is the African-American Club (should be American African), the Portuguese Pride Club, the Latino Club, etc., etc., etc.

Were someone to start a Caucasian Pride Club the people yelling 'racism' would be deafening.  Why? 

Look, I am not saying do not celebrate your heritage, your culture.  Everyone has a heritage and cultural habits that they should be proud of.  Even us American Caucasians.  Case in point:  We love to have fried pork chops with cold applesauce.  It is soooooooooooo good.  I mean how can you not eat it that way. 

All I am saying is that as long as we have people and organizations that separate based on skin color, then we will continue to have people and organizations that do not realize we are all the human race.  And that we should all be able to have our differences culturally and still get along.
