Yeah, the Black Panthers, for example, just got a bad rap, right? I'm amazed with the mental gyrations the left has to use to sing the persecution song and still be fine with these sorts of groups. Let us play a bit of PJ's substitution game, shall we? I can see the protests forming at the mere thought.
Indiana Black Expo -> Indiana White Guy Expo
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (I thought that was offensive terminology anyway) -> NAA White P
"NCLR works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans" -> NC la Blanco works to improve opportunities for White Americans
The "right" gets wound up because these groups espouse the same closed, preferential attitudes that get us sent to sensitivity training, sued, and fired.
Sorry if I pushed the wrong buttons, dte. I'm not extolling the Black Panthers or groups that advocate violence against 'the man.' I don't know of LaRaza actually doing this, but of course, you may know better.
If somebody wants to get together an organization to improve opportunities for Irish Americans or Swedes, or any other white ethnic group, I certainly wouldn't find that threatening or wrong in any way. You can have your Indiana White Guy expo anytime--in fact, there are lots of white ethnic festivals and expos all over the country--we've got a Czech one here with kolaches and the Divine Baby Jesus or something in Prague. Not to mention tons of hillbillly music fests etc.
If there aren't too many National Associations for the Advancement of White People, though, to use the terms of capitalism, maybe it's because there's no demand, not that they're being blocked by political correctness.
EDIT: missed your very last point there, sorry again for speed reading. I agree with you that there's a reasonable anger against the extremist push to punish white society for all the evils of the past. I wasn't referring to mainstream conservative thought, but the FAR right, as I thought I made plain with my reference to my friend who is plainly not just "the right" but the whacked out part of the FAR right.
