Okay, let's put the joke on those of you on this forum that are ministers or preachers..... "Do you know why preachers eat so much chicken?" .... "Ever since that rooster told off on Peter for denying the Lord we have been trying to eat them all up!"
Now I guess all of you are offended at Been Thinkin'

This is a "fingernails on the chalkboard" argument for me. There is only one reason these groups were ever formed. They needed them. As a marginalized demographic of society, that has long been rejected from the mainstream, these groups are naturally going to develop a system of commonality support. Of course they would!! And they should!
And in case one feels like there's no longer a need for these demographical commonality support systems, just consider that as recently as early this decade, major studies showed that, when applying for a job, African-Americans were EIGHT TIMES LESS LIKELY to be called for an interview than caucasians, when the resumes were identical.
We cannot afford to bury our heads in the sand and pretend as though Martin Luther King's dream has become a reality.
