Affinity Group is just a PC name for organizations that base their existence on sectarianism and racial/ethnic identity politics. They are not about unity - they are about division.
They encourage a mindset that plays in to the most base and destructive instincts humans have - tribalism. Their views are firmly based on the debunked racial theories of the 60s and 70s that have little relavenace to the 21st Century.
Sure, they are popular in the Ethnic Studies Department and other centers of leftist thought in higher education - and of course in the Diversity Industry where they earn their keep - but in the real world - no use.
That doesn't mean, of course, they are harmless. One of the oldest organizations out there, the National Organization for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has moved largely from a Civil Rights group with an honorable and important part of American History to just an Affinity Group. As a result, the resulting logic falls to where all Affinity Groups do when they feel comfortable.
Grevience, hate, and open racism. This is what the Navy supports when it feeds millions of dollars towards the Diversity Industry.
Via our bud Breitbart .... BEHOLD ... but not what is in front of you. Yep - we are going to touch on the race story of the week.
You think this is old news - and the trolls are drooling in the hope that I haven't see the whole clip where Sherrod decided that her racist attitude was wrong and she should help all ... no, I've see it. The thing is - she isn't off the hook in my book. Sure, she isn't quite as bad as the first report has her - but she isn't as good as her apologists make her.
What I am interested in is not her ... I am interested in the totality of what she had to say. I am interested in the reception of her audience. I am also interested in the patronizing looking the other way at the substance, in context, of what she had to say. What I want you to do is look at the audience. Listen, with what little you can - to the audience and her.
Below is the full video from the NAACP. I want to to listen to the whole thing. Process the words. Know this is the 21st Century. She seems like a nice lady trying to do good things, and she has a heart - but she cannot get past race. Especially towards the end - she is all "us" and "them." Being nice and good does not prevent you from being retrograde and wrong. I know some very nice and well meaning people about here age who are also retrograde and wrong in their views on race and should not be in positions of power.

Archaic ... but in power she is.
That attitude, my friends, is coming to a selection board near you. As a matter of fact, it is old news that we already have Flag Officers pushing select lists to board members based on race. Hey - it's here already.
