    SAVANNAH, Ga. [[AP) — Organizers of a meeting to discuss an upcoming mayoral race in Georgia barred reporters from attending — unless they were African-American.
    The Wednesday meeting at a church in Savannah was held to try to unite the city’s black community behind a single candidate for mayor in the Nov. 5 election. Signs at the door said “Black Press Only!”
    White reporters were denied entry, while at least two black reporters and the publisher of a local African-American newspaper were allowed inside, the Savannah Morning News reported . Television cameras and recording devices were also prohibited.”Name:  AP_Black_Press_Only.jpg

    This is so wholly different. Public access restaurant that should be a place for everyone vs. private meeting of local black leaders with black media members. Black people do not need to defend themselves when they create a space for themselves.

    Yes, it's always "wholly different", isn't it?

    No, not always. But in this case, yes.

    Well then, I'm going to gather just my white friends, hold a press conference, and post a sign in the window "No Black Press". Watch for Danny's Fox News headline post tomorrow morning.

    INCORRECT !

    Racism is racism. EVEN when it's a black person that's being racist.

    White clubs aren't allowed.

    And there would be a massive outcry if whites formed a United Whitey College Fund,..

    or a National Organization for the Advancement of Whitey,

    or had a white's only meeting to pick what white mayoral candidate we were going to have next,

    or barred certain press based on their skin color.

    How on Earth can you not see that?

    How an earth can you not see that everything you said about "Whitey" is basically American history in a nutshell. But OMG a group of African Americans from a relatively small American city do one thing whites have done for 500 years and suddenly it's "racist" and blown out of proportion because whitey didn't get his invite. Boohoo.

    Also, the NAACP is open to all.
