[quote=Anonymous]Keeping someone out of a club doesn't mean that they are racist. You notice Obama or Tiger woods or a million other people of color or Jewish people are members of clubs. Clubs want people with MONEY (so that they know that they can pay their dues), and people who use the club (aka play golf and tennis and swim as that is how they make money). We actually toured one club that we decided not to join because for years they had only admitted Jewish people. We didn't feel that it was a good fit for us.

You can't discriminate against people who don't apply. Did you ever consider that AA's are a minority at clubs because very few AA's PLAY golf?

I mean, is the NBA racist because its overwhelmingly one color?

Maybe you can get involved with a program like The First Tee and help young minorities pick up the game rather than ranting about country clubs. [/quote]
