The Six Sacred Groups.... Plus 1

For many years now, there have been six sacred groups. You know, the big three are African-Americans, women and LGBT. That’s where most of the action is. Then there are three other groups: Latinos, Native Americans, and people with disabilities. So those are the six that have been there for a while. But now we have a seventh–Muslims. Something like 70 or 75 percent of America is now in a protected group. A Conversation with Jonathan Haidt | Minding The Campus

Your Say

Can we drown them in Formaldehyde and pin them on a wall in a museum then get on with our lives. If that does not work then we can have two groups to keep it easy to remember. Sane and shit in a bucket.

Who pays for and provides the protection for these "groups". Whitey. The group with the brains and the imagination. And, works for a living.

This crap will continue until "Whitey" says no more.

Maybe one day more than a handful of people will understand that conservatism has nothing at all to do with republicanism.

One is an ideology and the other is a cheap political club and neither have ever been related to each other.

Just another transparent gov't/media ploy meant to confuse the adolescent mind which has been mostly successful.

Thank you, Terry. From now on I will tell people that I do not self-identify as "white". I self-identify as "works for a living".

They forgot another group. Old people. I'm in a protected class now too.

WFAL. I like it. It'd be good on a T-shirt or a mug, too.
