[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Comments that Chevy Chase Club [b]actively[/b] discriminates against against Jews or any other religious group OR that it blackballs anyone are both ill-informed and ridiculous.  I am a member at Chevy Chase, and I can tell you that we have numerous Jewish members AND that votes by the Board on prospective members are by a simple majority ---- NO blackballing.  Moreover, the idea that most of the members there are necessarily Republicans or conservatives is silly.  I have no idea what party most of my friends at the Club are, but I do know that "liberal" ideas are freely expressed by many of the members, along with conservative ideas --- just as is true in society here at large.[/quote]

What percentage of members are black, Asian, Hispanic/Latino, or Jewish? Has there ever been an open discussion about the racist past of the CCC? How many active members actually nominate or encourage non-white families to become members? It's way too easy to do nothing and then claim that you're not racist because you're not running around with tiki torches. Racism survives because otherwise good people fail to question the status quo.[/quote]
