“It’s a Long Tradition in RI,” Whitehouse Defends Family’s Membership in All-White Club

[excalibur]

White supremacist alert! Quick! Call Merrick 'Mr. Moderate' Garland.

The hypocrisy of Democrats never ends.

U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse continues to defend his family's membership in the all-white private Bailey’s Beach Club in Newport.

GoLocal interviewed Whitehouse on Friday in Pawtucket and when asked if the private club had admitted any minorities since GoLocal first raised the issue in 2017, Whitehouse said, “I think the people who are running the place are still working on that and I’m sorry it hasn't happened yet.”

Both Whitehouse and his wife Sandra as well as their families have been members of the club for decades. Whitehouse did transfer his shares in the club to his wife years ago, and she is now one of the largest shareholders in the all-white club. The club's membership is a who's who Newport, Palm Beach, and New York wealth.

“It's a long tradition in Rhode Island and there are many of them and I think we just need to work our way through the issues, thank you,” said Whitehouse as he was ushered away by a staffer.

The interview took place on the eve of the new national holiday Juneteenth National Independence Day.​

An all-white club does sound nice though, the other races seem to be enjoying their private clubs

As with every other issue the left pushes, there is grotesque hypocrisy and no truth.

How can anything be more racist than saying

Hey you, with skin color X, you must agree with me and never question my views or I will call you names, wreck your life, go after your family etc....

Democrats think blacks do not have the right to disagree with democrats. How can anything possibly be more racist than that?

 

[MaryL]

Damn, you caught all us whites red handed again. All those white male nationalist fighting and died to free blacks from slavery. 60 thousand? Meaningless. Um the civil rights laws passed by whites to fight racism in the 60's? Equal opportunity laws and various other laws? Meaningless. side note: I know of Africans from say, Nigeria, Somalia, Uganda and other African countries. They fled actual oppression, especially Ugandans: Black on black genocide. Funny, those blacks manage to thrive. Why can't American blacks? what is really holding them back?

Interestingly ----the CLUB aka TRIBAL ethos does seem to be very strong amongst
the NEW DEMOCRATS who insist on Identifying themselves as "PERSONS OF COLOR"--
a really tight group-----when I was in high school such behavior was disdained as
CLIQUES

The democrat party.

 

[marvin martian]

Yet another example of the DemoKKKrat party being the most racist institution in American history.

You forgot the blacks who serve coffee and clean up the white devils mess and say Yes Massa, Yes Massa

Not surprised. The lemmings vote for Democrats without question.

Sheldon Whitehouse doesn't denounce super-exclusive beach club his family belongs to

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse last week refused to apologize for his family's membership in a reportedly all-White beach club in his home state of Rhode Island, calling beach clubs "a long tradition" and saying he hopes the club will admit minority members soon.

Well, he's white

and a Racist....

 

[JimH52]

This is what Racist say:

" ... Now, had the tables been turned -- Joe, this could get me in trouble -- had the tables been turned, and President Trump won the election and those were tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters, I might have been a little concerned."

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Well, he's white

and a Racist....

You label everyone who disagrees with you politically is racist....doesn't carry much weight.

 

[Floyd61]

Well, he's white

and a Racist....

Ain't all white people racist?

 

[kaz]

Well, he's white

and a Racist....

Like you!

 

[JWBooth]

Well, he's white

and a Racist....

In your twisted view of the world the two are synonymous.

"I guess the folks there did not feel comfortable about a Racist, trump Humper? Gee....I am shocked."

Democrat is synonymous with racist. The Democrat party is the party of slavery, Jim Crow, the KKK, lynching, cross burning, segregation and today they exploit race for political benefit. And Joe Biden is the biggest racist in major party politics.

JimH52 is in the right party, the pure racist party

Hearing that someone named Sheldon Whitehouse is a member at an exclusive all-white private beach club isn't surprising. One where, and I quote, "Jewish, yes. … Blacks, not really." Then you find out Sen. Whitehouse is a Democrat sentator and it's ... actually, it's even less surprising. Whitehouse was one of the senators who filibustered his African-American's colleague police reform bill. Democrats like Whitehouse may virtue-signal a good game. But when it comes to their own lives, it's a lot of "equity for thee but not for me." Yes, even after making Juneteenth a federal holiday.

SHELDON WHITEHOUSE, his wife & their families have been members of an all-white private beach club for decades.

[pknopp]

Basically that is what he is saying and what he is defending. Just because it's long been traditional does not somehow make it OK.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is facing new scrutiny over his decades-long membership in an allegedly all-white private beach club, as he bills himself as a progressive and prominent critic of “systemic racism” — dismissing membership based on race as “a long tradition in Rhode Island.”

[easyt65]

Just because an elitist White Democrat politician attends an All-White cub that has NEVER had any black members doesn't make the politician 'racist' or make the All-White Club 'racially biased / exclusive'....
