Racism's red flag aided by all-African American group exclusivity


Martin Luther King who offer the message of inclusion for everyone
Carol Forsloff---This month we celebrated Martin Luther King Day, and as we reflect on African American history, and the present stresses related to contemporary events, the film about Selma now popular, and the memory of King's speech of inclusion of 1963, it is time to decide whether or not all-African American groups makes sense.

The manner of the concept of racial injustices and African American individuals and groups reporting on this, and other issues, is surely important.  But does the fact they highlight their own exclusivity add to King's dream of inclusion?  Isn't it time to question having all black groups and their titles, which can only serve as a barrier to racial amity?
