The Society of Black Lawyers

The SBL website looks more Muslim than Black to me, they use a red/black/white color scheme and all the pictures/name looks Muslim.

Interesting.

As Muslims they should not be excluding people because of race.

Society of Black Lawyers, playing the race card since 1968

The goal is to "fight for all minorities". Which is reasonable.

What i don't understand is, why can't white people join the fight?

They don't exclude white people, there aren't white people representing because there's no need to. If you were a white lawyer why would you fight against a system that is de facto in your favour.

If the prettiest girl at your uni gave you a hug everyday and not minorities, why would you fight against it...? you get the point.

You aren't by law in the UK allowed to discriminate whatsoever, do you understand now?

I'm just going by what's been said in this thread.
"wouldn't associate with a white lawyer"

I think that's very narrow minded and your analogy is a bad one. It isn't like a girl giving a hug to one guy, it's more like a lecturer teaching only white people and excluding the rest.

People would fight against this and people would refuse to learn from the teacher. To think people won't fight against a system that treats them better spits in the face of every white person who pushed for civil rights in america.

I wouldn't associate with a girl who judges my friends because of skin color. I don't know many people who would.

So what you're saying is white people don't have a problem with racism because it works in their favour?

I'm just throwing out a bone here, but I doubt that many white people have applied to join the society of black lawyers.

Just like i wouldn't apply to join a female gym.

De facto yes in this case of joining "the black lawyers", obviously a majority of white people in the case of the entire planet don't think this way.

I get what you're saying and I appreciate it but it doesn't exclude white people, there's just not much point in joining. Like I'm a quarter Jamaican, but I wouldn't go out of my way to protect like "Jamaican rights" and I'm not just some randomer off the street who has no ties to that country. However by law in this country, you can't exclude someone because of race in joining a group

I doubt the SBL would actually reject a white lawyer from joining their cause. They just have a certain goal in their organization and white lawyers wouldn't be interested to really join them. NZG said he wouldn't join a women's gym and I think that's a good analogy.

That's a fucking horrible analogy. The SBL is a group of lawyers who want to fight inequality. You don't have to be black to fight inequality. How is that in any way similar to a women's gym?

If the group was called Lawyers against Racism I'm sure white lawyers would be 'more interested' in joining it.

the SBL said our supporter's use of the word Yid is hurtful to Jews

They don't have to be black to join the organization.

Like I said before, they have plenty of non-black members. Just because their name is Society of Black Lawyers doesn't mean they will not accept anyone from any other race.

That's a disgusting view. I might as well say a majority of black people steal because they have too.

That's just you. I'm 100% there are people who would stand up for Jamican rights if they were being discriminated against.

but apparently no white members and the name "black lawyers" also the fact that they say on their website they are a society of black,carraibbean and asian lawyers is off putting to any not of those races to join.

Also my analogy of not joining a woman's gym might of been misinterpreted.

What i mean is.

If i am looking for a gym and i walk past a gym that says woman's gym,blacks gym or whatever. I won't join it. They are obviously targeting a certain group which is racist in itself which is what i was referring to at the start of this.


Racism stills exists because of groups like this which are obviously only for certain people. If this was for whites,carraibeans and Asian layers. We would have strikes against this group because it's racist.

You said it yourself, they are targeting certain people. That doesn't mean they think people of other races are not worthy. To say they are racist is just plain wrong.

It creates division. Which creates racism.

Well yes duh, but I'm not quite sure on what you're trying to say. I don't get the "disgusting view either"
