Equality for all, but some people are more equal than others. Or that is at least what we've learned in modern America
Below is a list that I have come across on the interwebz that I found pretty fascinating. It is a compilation of SEVENTY (70!!!) pro-Black lobbying organizations both in occupational fields, academic institutions, businesses, sports, and so on.
My question to you all: why do we not have any White organizations? What is stopping us?
Why can we not have a White sociologist organization?
We have The White Voice here and although it is a relatively menial outlet for us to express ourselves, it is a start for White media. White news, White podcasts, White videos about our issues; White issues.
So here's a little exercise: replace White for Black in all of these 70 organizations below and comment to tell me whether or not you think our people would be better off if we had these organizations in 2014.
