I can agree with you here about how it is a rascist society. I think you would say that any group that is established for the benefit of a certain race is indeed rascist. Issues of sex aside, should any legislation or group of this nature be allowed? Should there be programs that give benefits exclusively to racial minorities?
Rights are for individuals, not groups. The only group idenity that we should recognize is that of "American." There is no place in our constitutional republic (at least since the 14th amendment) for laws designed to benefit specific groups based on some sort of "minority" status or, for that matter, based on "majority" status.

I took the first line as simply being a question.
