You see, I see it along the lines of this.

lets say in the police you have a "black policemans" group. Now people start to complain and say....why do we not have a "white policemans" group.
Well....the reason the black policemans group started was because the black policeman have been discriminated against and they could do with a bit of moral support from each other, even talk about situations they have been in to make future situations easier..

So what is the point of a white policemans group??


So basically......saying that they want someone "black in spirit" is almost like saying....someone that they can relate to, someone that follows their ideals even.

Why would you need or want a white only organisation or group............to exclude black people??? Well that has been going on for years anyway!!


Im not sure i explained that very well!!
