# Don't you appreciate that black people still don't have the same opportunities as white people
in this country?

They still face discrimination.

# I totally appreciate that fact.
But I think that setting up groups which exclude white people makes things even worse, because it antagonises whites and also segregates them even further than they already are.
If you want to make whites and blacks live together, in peace, then let them carry out activities together. Fuck all point in separating them and making the whole situation two-sided again.

# I was told I couldn't join a gospel choir because I'm white.
I call that discrimination too.

Sorry, but I've been discriminated against for other reasons, but I would never dream of doing it myself because I know what it feels like-.

# I should think that is illegal
Under the Race Relations Act.

# I should think so too.
Doesn't stop it happening.

And if that's illegal, why aren't all the other colour specific clubs illegal?

# Just because they are 'for' a specific group doesn't mean entrance is banned to those of other colours/genders/cultures
It's just that they don't tend to join as they don't have first hand experience of similar issues.
