I agree with you and I didn't mean that in a sense that we get to judge what groups are allowed in or not. I am saying that groups that are seen as unproductive are negatively judged by large groups of society. That in no way should determine who we allow in our not and I wasn't trying to accuse you of saying that we should.

Further you have stated that "we all, or vast majority, have instinctual internal racist thoughts" and I think you would have a difficult time proving that notion. So I would have to reject that notion as being your opinion because I disagree.

It would be hard to prove or disprove my argument because we are looking at what individuals initally think, not do. I still do support my theory because of two big factors.
One, I feel my own subconcious racist thoughts and everyone that I've talked to (many different backgrounds) feel it as well. That even includes blacks and other people of color.
I also notice that unless a person of color is raised in a enviornment with constant contact with whites, they tend to stick to people of their own race or other people of color instead of whites.
Those two really tell me something is up.
