WTF... If there was a National White Bowling Tournament or anything else National Wasp Library, National White Library... there would be hell to be paid... Why is it after the afro americans fought so hard to desegregate themselves (and I agree) that they now have to resegregate themselves... Miss Black America... are you kidding me.... For goodness sakes... If there was Miss White America you know it would cause a big problem... Someone please explain this to me!

Honestly, I am not racist, but it seems that these people do wish to remain segregated... they resegregate themselves... Black Library, Black Miss America, Black Bowling tournament... Soon there will be a blacks only swimming pool again like in the 1950's... It's their choice and their doing... no doubt!

I'm glad that everyones alright with this. It just shows how f___ked up our society is. This is racisim, nothing less. Before you call me a redneck or a skinhead or anything like that , listen to my reasoning. I feel that all men are created equal, and I also acknowledge the way the black race was treated all those years ago was unjust and kept the black people from being equal. But what makes it so much better now? That there is the NAACP, American Negro Collage Fund, The Million Man March, etc. It's just rasicim in the other direction. If the white society had anything that was available to only them, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and parades of people claiming "racism" would be screaming bloody murder. Please don't get me wrong, I am honestly glad and sounds like it will be a blast, and alot of people will have a great time. I'm just sick of people of color using the "RACE" card whenever it benifits them. They claim they want equality but yet keep them selves seperate by always falling back on the "Oh I deserve it because I'm Black" attitude.

It's racism. Why isn't Jesse Jackson out there protesting? Maybe because slavery 150 years ago deprived their ancestors of learning the fundamentals of bowling. It takes a lot to roll your balls down the lane.

My wife had this happen the other day at CHucky Cheese in Pembroke Pines...My daughter was in line for a ride and some bacl boy ran up and knocked her down and got on the ride instead...My wife told the black boy it was not his turn, and the kid ignored her. The boys mother came up and looked at my wife and stated "You owe us"....

Serves your daughter right, seeing how she had so much to do with an injustice that took place over a hundred years ago...

Blacks are allowed to be bigoted and feel free to practice racism - but if we White folk did this, we'd go to jail charged with racial discrimination and hate crimes. But ironically, this doesn't hurt us - it only reinforces and perpetuates the Black anger and resentment, and prevents any true equality.
