    My daughter is a black woman. She's an A/B student, she's polite, she's thoughtful, responsible and she's never behaved in public as you describe.

    You know what, here's some friendly advice that you certainly don't deserve but I'm going to give you anyway. When you're going to argue that a particular incident or occurrence isn't racism it's probably not a good idea to say something racist in the same post, let alone same paragraph(If two sentences can be considered a paragraph). Kinda defeats the point. I mean, hilariously ironic to the rest of us sure, and even doubly so because you no doubt have no idea just how ridiculous the juxtaposition of those two sentences are, but entertainment aside, dude, do better. Smh.

    No one is more race neutral than you, I figured you'd have no problem praising this kid for what he has done. I am right in that assessment, yes?

    The kid did well and deserves more credit and publicity than he’s getting. I’d buy him a beer. Would you?

    Because apparently you didn't think it was worth it, and that kinda got me wondering because if you didn't think it was worth it then what am I missing?

    Waiting on you to take the lead. I mean, had he been the shooter, you'd have no problem starting a thread. So why not start one praising him?

    I wouldn't have apologized. You are banned and your membership is revoked. You don't have any rights to membership in private clubs.

    If a black person wants to be a republican they just going to be a Republican there isn't really any trying except for maybe standing in line to vote if you live in a heavily populated area.

    I don’t know and neither do you. I see no justification in leaping to any specific assumption as to the motive though, especially one that presents such a negative representation of individuals with no evidence. I mean, why not presume the owners were sexist instead? There’s no less evidence for that assumption given the players were apparently black women. Of course, that wouldn’t stir up as much attention and controversy in the current climate would it.

    That is not the point. The point is that the owner called the police to deal with something that should have been handled through the club's own rules.

    The suggestion is that he did so ONLY because the players were black.

    That is the point.

    You don't think Blacks stereotype Whites? Just look at this thread for your answer.

    Apparently to you, a wrong makes a right if it goes against a certain race.

    Nope. I've never said that. Look back through my posts on this thread and identify anything I've said suggests that I think that "a wrong makes a right if it goes against a certain race".
    You made that up.

    Then why would you think I would say two wrongs make a right?

    Because, in response to my post (to another poster) pointing out that he had drawn a stereotype based on black women, you said
    You seemed to be justifying a white person stereotyping a black person by pointing out the reverse.

    Otherwise, what was your point in bringing it up?

    The gender thingy was covered. The local article is worth the read.

    https://www.ydr.com/story/news/loca...wnship-golf-course/540439002/?from=new-cookie

    Five African-American women say the ownership and staff at Grandview Golf Club in Dover Township discriminated against them based on their color and gender during an incident at the course on Saturday.
