When black people start their own clubs, and label them as "black" clubs why isn't that considered segregation and racist since other ethnic groups aren't allowed to join, or believed not able to join by the name of the group.
Black Student Associations
Black Lawyer Association...
Know what I mean? What if someone were to start a White Students Association, would that not be seen as racist and segretative?
I can't find 1 association that isn't related to the KKK that is called a "white association".
I honestly don't know, so spare me the "your just being racist" crap. I want to see it from someone else's perspective.

I agree with you. I suppose the idea is these associations started because blacks were down-trodden by society and needed to pull together and help one another succeed. Unfortunately many of them have turned into hotbeds of racism themselves.
Free speech and free association are absolutely fundamental principles that our society was founded upon. We have racist groups within our ethnic communities who want to take those freedoms away from us.
