Нету лучше тех сказок

[chasovschik]

Отделение Black Lives Matter в Нэшвилле проводило свои собрания в библиотеке.
Кто-то из посетителей обратил внимание администрации библиотеки, что на эти собрания запрещен доступ белым – правила у BLM такие.
Библиотека проинформировала BLM, что это противоречит библиотечным правилам – там запрещена любая сегрегация и прочий расизм. Потому что public property.
Борцы с расизмом свои правила менять отказались, и перенесли собрания в какую-то церковь.

После чего привычно сообщили городу и миру, что их угнетают и что white supremacy не дает им собираться в библиотеке.

И это все даже не анекдот.

1. I think that the fundamental difference is fact of pay. To make it brief: say, silk is made on Chinese land, and silk shirt is made on Chinese government- owned factory. Does China have a right to tell you, how you are allowed to wear this shirt after you bought it? No way, you paid for it. Same with the club: land use, utilities, etc. - all is included in the lease pay. But if they "just use it" - well, the scary woman is right.
2. Here it is: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/whiteness-history-month-college_us_569eb6ace4b04c813761e3eb
3. Distinction is simple: she don't wear headscarf, that's all. It is not wide-spread, at least not so far, just go to the better chain, but we had it. Note that it is Canada. Nothing like that we had in MD or VA, it is quite opposite there. Aged black woman often steps back to let young white male to pass.

An aged black woman often steps back to let a young white male pass.

what's so good about that, either...

no, not pay. because you can pay to have a party at the MET. but you cannot say "whites only and no jews" for your party.

thankx for teh ref, i will look at it.

nothing good, I felt extremely uncomfortably.
As of pay - there must be some limitation. Otherwise in 5 years you can end up with crowd of Baltimore ghetto graduates crashing your party...

wait wait. "whiteness shaming" was the accusation of the conservatives, not the purpose of the event.

...which is funny by itself, but (I cannot say about US, 8 years since I left) it is smell of skin colour issues in the air at US attic.
