Now I was speaking with a Klansmen the other day, whilst he set fire to my Jewish friend and he told me a startling fact. Did you know the Klu Klux Klan has no black, jewish, asian or Catholic members?

Well I was shocked to say the least, since in the state of Queensland this is a clear violation of the Anti Discrimination Act. I plan to lodge a writ with the Supreme Court, seeking an injunction to demand that the KKK comply with the Act and hire at least one racial minority per five members.

Do you live in Australia?

Anyways, yeah, the KKK only wants WASP's as members (White, Anglo-Saxon Protestants).

Racial quotas are discriminatory in themselves. Thus this would be a self-defeating argument. Discrimination to counter discrimination.

Really. Now that is interesting! :lol: :wink:

only if you dont want there to be.

and its a society so they can admit anyone they want, although it would be funny if they had to go reound trying to find black people to meet their race quota.

As it was a question I closed with a question mark..to highlight it was in fact a question and not a statement. Even though the question mark was there it was still treated as a statement so I guess the tactic failed.

OMG Queensland rules :shock:

On topic:

I take it you are black. Excuse my ignorance, but I didn't believe there was KKK in Queensland. I've never heard anything about them.

Also, are you Aboriginal or African black? I have actually never seen an African/African-American black person in Brisbane. Why is this?

I am sure they also spell sentence correctly

OMFG It does :shock:

I don't like to bring it up in the forums, namely because for some reason people either take some of my more Liberal statements and bursh them off, or take my extremist veiws and avoid critizing them for some reason.

But yes, I am coloured.

In answer to your question as to why racial quotas are discriminatory. Anything that separates a population according to their race or religion is discriminatory. By forcing organisations to accept certain numbers of people based on their colour or religion is discriminatory. Whether you think it is positive discrimination or negative discrimination it is still discrimination.

It is also a breach of a person's right to freedom of association.

Yeah I saw this thing on teh news about a KKK movement in the country parts of QLD years ago...but it was a small group then, I'd have no idea how big it would be now.

Also, are you Aboriginal or African black? I have actually never seen an African/African-American black person in Brisbane. Why is this?

Hmm intriguing.

Although I don't really see many black people in NSW either, now I think about it.

As Vitania said, two wrongs don't make a right. By enforcing racial quotas you reinforce the perceived difference between the races and also cause resentment among the so called "majority".

I've actually known several Catholic Klansmen. Either they've relaxed their membership requirements, or the type of people who'd join aren't exactly the brightest crosses on the lawn.

Hmmm... does that need to be an XOR?

The KKK is a racist group any way and should all be set on fire themselves :D

I don't think anyone here has said they support the KKK. I am arguing that racial quotas are divisive and discriminatory and therefore make things worse rather than better.
The KKK was used as an example by the OP for dramatic effect I think.

I don't think any other ethnicities of people would want to join the KKK. Really, you are just doing this to bug the group. Anyways, I support that.

Yes, by bugging this group and dragging them to court you give them the publicity they seek. Free recruiting drive for any rednecks looking for a club to join.

artoonia that cross thing just made me laugh thank you

hey i know a redneck! he isnt racist or anything just dumb as a rock.

I think the KKK is a buncha racist bigots, but I also think that if a group exists for the purpose and benefit of one race, then it should stay that way. The KKK should not have to have minority members. This goes the same for any other group, such as a Spanish-American group, to only have the members it wants to have. If the KKK has to have blacks and Jews, then the local group of German-Americans would have to accept Italian-Americans into their group. It makes no sense.

to the very first part thats a fact they are racist bigots, also germans and italians have gotten along quite when since 39 ;)

They've got a KKK Kommune here in Texas. Get this... They've disguised it AS A TRAILER PARK!!!!!!!11111oneoneoneone! The irony is astounding. And guess what it is named... Kris' Kans for Kads! It's so humourous!

By the way, what happened to Fascist white states?

he was eating by the three headed mod monster of leetness....and stuff but its gone

Yay, five hundred posts.

*dons party hat.*

weee.

Okay, party's done.

However, when the question is rhetorical Cambridge English requires the sentance not be closed with a question mark.

This I doubt very much. Possibly it does not require that the sentence end in a question mark, but I find it incredibly unlikely that it stipulates that it must not. By the standard you have presented the most famous rhetorical questions in the English language, such as, for example, "Shall I compare thee to a summers day?", are judged not to be rhetorical questions at all.

Why did such an absurd thread immediately turn into a serious one about racial quotas?

I think some people need to lighten up.
