To not be ok with race-based segregation?

@Myfabby Moving on isn't really feasible when my words are being continuously twisted to infer racism. Nothing I have said has been racist, and I have actually been preaching inclusivity and the right for all people to have access to spaces in groups where they feel safe.

We're clearly going to have to agree to disagree here 😳

It's true you're right. Plenty of twisting of your words has gone on. All lives matter. We get it.

Well, that's because they were never special. What are you talking about? It's not their fault that they were better, picked for more things, generated more wealth. It certainly had nothing to do with racism.

Are some posters really so ignorant to not understand that sometimes, just sometimes, people from some groups need to talk about stuff that has happened/is happening/will happen with people like them?

Really?

I mean why are you so threatened by this? Why does it get under your skin so much?

I was just watching a video last week on Instagram about a black only sorority in the USA. They only let black girls in to it.

There seems to be a rise in " black only" groups in the USA anyway.

The moral question is:
Is this okay as they as a group were kept down in the past.

Is it not okay as there is no way on earth anyone would be allowed have a "whites only" sorority

This

@Myfabby I would never use that slogan, as it has underlying racist intent. As a minority myself, I wouldn't want to stop anybody from accessing support from those with similar experiences. I would never say that my experiences are the same or worse than someone else's.

Yes. Indeed. THIS.

Not a single word was twisted. Your words were just repeated back to you and you didn’t like it. You said problematic things, have been told this and simply cannot accept it. Accountability is hard for some people.

So, you’re now lurking and saying snide inflammatory things. I mean, whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

Women's only spaces are usually for safety reasons eg women's only toilets, changing rooms etc. Every race can and should discuss racism because every race can be racist and be a victim of racism. I've faced racism from non-white people.

With all due respect, if you get your information solely from videos on Instagram, I would be very worried.

You both sound racist. You don't get to say what you what about non people of colour and expect nobody to come back at you.

@Myfabby with all due respect, I saw the video on Instagram, then I went online myself to verify it on another websites.

There are black only sororities in the USA.

I don't know if its ok.

I personally don't think it's really great to discriminate against any race.

Is the answer to your 'moral question' really that difficult to grasp?

Who is stopping anyone?
A social function for black people is stopping white people from accessing support?

Not true. You are saying women's only spaces are about physical safety only. And that's not true. Yes, physical safety is one aspect. Emotional safety is another - many woman feel uncomfortable or uncertain sharing spaces, particularly intimate spaces, with men - whether that's a changing room, a bathroom or a doctor's office.

Other women's only events are not about physical safety at all. I attend women only networking events because it's an opportunity to talk to women about women' issues in a space that will not be judged by men or interrupted by men or dominated by men.

My friend attends women only swimming slots. Some of the women do so because of cultural and religious desires for "modesty". Others, like my friend, do so because they find that swimming with limited space means they are often rushed or pushed aside or interrupted when men are there.

Sometimes, women's only spaces are simply about joy and sharing being in a space with people who have the same experience as you.

There is nothing problematic about people of all races being able to seek out support from those with similar backgrounds.

No it's just stopping equality and diversity.

You know that Black only sororities started because we weren’t allowed in the white sororities, right? Same as HBCUs, Black people in America had to start their own because they weren’t allowed in the mainstream universities or were treated shockingly in them.

So, now they have these excellent institutions that they’ve created for themselves - many of which now admit white people.

Also, please stop with this ‘in the past’ nonsense. Black people are still experiencing racism today. You know this. I saw your post about the little girl at the swimming competition. Racism hasn’t vanished.

B*loom

So - I'm asking others what their problem is with black people discussing their shared experience as black people with no white people there, and IM RACIST?

Seriously?

@PaintAngst but why are black people allowed to leave white people out of groups?

Isnt that being racist?

Haven't we moved on from segregation?

Are there white only sororities?

I'll help you since it's not on Insta. Read those for a start. You are welcome ;)

@Myfabby I have stated that I support the function for black people in this instance. However, a large-scale social function based around politics should be inclusive of all races.
