No they can't be members

Those that were fortunate enough to see the class that the women of the Rutgers basketball team demonstrated at their press conference, the dignity and poise they possess, have seen fine young student atheletes that should serve as positive role models for not only black people, but also women of any color. They gained my respect even more for their intelligence than they had previously for their athletic abilities. Their parents should feel pride in their daughters equal to that which their eloquent coach expressed.

What about invisible women? Racist.

Thank you for your silence. I didn't know what you were talking about.
Since you were unable to answer, I guess you didn't either.
Interesting me is how some have shown themselves on this thread.
One wants others to have a "thicker skin", but when challenged demonstrates how thin his own is. I call that move a "check-mate".
Then there are the defenders. The bigots also showed up. Pity them also.
Here's an article you might wish to read and comment about.

Oh, right, I expect you to come back and attack me rather than discuss the article I posted. Go ahead...it will be lame, as usual.

On behalf of the bigots, racists, and "thin skinned" people we officially have put this distressing, disturbing, horrific, terrible incident and resulting thread behind us. I'm sure this will be wrong and show us to be shallow or lacking empathy but so be it. I'm sure that you will continue to throw stones down upon us fools from your ivory tower but we just dont have it in us to respond. Forgive our lameness or ability to see your side of an issue.

Thank you both for your kind thoughts.
I asked for discussion on the article I posted, and yet again....pathetic attacks.
And thank you both for clearly proving my point, yet again.

That article is for nappyheaded hos and I want no part of it.

I think it's a good editorial, though I wish she would have told Imus to throw out his acid-wash jacket and to put his collars down.

Wow...I haven't posted to this thread and have only read the last page of comments...my opinion, since it appears everybody else has weighed in...Imus always seemed like a decent sort, does a lot for charity...his remarks were totally out of line and he will suffer the consequences, as he should. PC is one thing, making those kind of remarks toward young women is another...it amazes me how stupid public figures can be at times, but racism and sexism run deep in this culture and the fact that this thread is this long speaks volumes.

Duh...that's precisely why they can't make the cut.

I found it more than ironic that there was no mention of Martha Burk this year.

If a woman was to qualify for the Masters, she would have the opportunity to make the cut.
