YWCA initiative takes aim at racism

The main threat to the black community is its self. Instead of battling perceived racism with poetry readings and posters the YWCA and others should be battling BET with it's videos full of filthy lyrics, suggestive images, and promotion of lawlessness and violence. No wonder the crowd at the Chicken Hut acted the way they did a few nights ago.

Martin Luther King said that "10 AM on Sunday mornings is the most segregated hour in America." A great many Christian-Americans are racists, so the fact that the YMCA ("C" stands for Christian) has come out againt racism is encouraging.

All religions are prejudiced and discriminate in varying degrees. If my religion is the only true religion, then, if you believe in another religion -- your religion is wrong. And, this type of prejudice is inhering in all religious faiths.

All religions are based on myths -- happenings and superstitions which are incapable of being proved. One becomes a member of one religion or another simply due to the accident of birth -- and then one comes into conflict with those born into other religions. And, often this results in racism -- when physical features are able to distinguish one group from another.

"It's easy if you try"

In response to cartmanking68:

I don't think that anyone would deny that minorities contain racists, just like the majority. The problem, party, is that the majority has much more influence and can thus put down the minority with their racism much easier than vice versa. That said, one may also find that many times minorities are "racist" against the majority because the majority has pushed them down for so long- not because they actually hate the "race."
So, one way, which in my opinion and experience is very effective, to help cure the socially-inhibiting disease of racism is to educate the majority and attack the racism of the majority first. Then, the minorities they have persecuted, whether it was them or their grandparents, won't be able to connect the majority with their ancestor's actions and thus won't be as "racist."
In any case, racism is a plague caused by poor education and a lack of dedicated individuals who strive to eliminate it. I think that this is a wonderful effort by the YWCA and I am thankful to have these individuals working in Tulsa where we no doubt need them.

"When we can start seeing challenges facing our neighbors as our own rather than 'their problem' we can get more creative and proactive about improving our city as a whole."

Kremski has been trying to tell us this very thing for how many months now?

Looks like there's a little Fox-y brand Kool-aide left over from the Take Back Our Country party.

This article is junk. Why is it even in this piece of material that some may call a newspaper?

If you give to the United Way then you are supporting the YWCA. I'm not trasing charitable giving. I am trashing charitable giving to organizations that hold views directly opposed to the giver.

That's very true, Elusive.

The problem isn't caused by Obama's presidency, but it has drawn out those with thinly-veiled prejudices and brought them into full bloom.

Like that stinky flower that smells like rotting meat.
