Isn’t this extortion? I do believe we have freedom f association. Will BLM next demand law makers join their organization?

I don't agree with BLM, but being a member of an all Anything Country Club nowadays is so wrong on so many levels. The Senator should be ashamed of himself.

Capt Gregory Prickett - will counselor, do you have proof the club only allows white members or are you going to believe BLM.

LTC David Brown - I'm not aware of any comments by BLM on Augusta National. But I will point to the quote of one of the two founders, Clifford Roberts, who, according to the NY Times in 2012, said “As long as I’m alive, all the golfers will be white and all the caddies will be black.” (https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/03/sports/golf/from-a-symbol-of-segregation-to-a-victim-of-golfs-success.html?_r=1 )
Augusta didn't have a black member until 1990, 13 years after Roberts died, and didn't have a black woman member until 2012.

Capt Gregory Prickett - I am sorry I wasn’t clear. I was referring to the beach club. I know the Augusta nationals has Condi Rice as a member. You do know The Augusta Nationals refused Bill Gates membership at one point because he didn’t take golf serious enough. In general the members of the national are not publicized but I am sure there are more Black members. I know that Tiger Woods when he played there as an amateur has fond memories of his time in the crows nest. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/21/sports/golf/condoleezza-rice-joins-augusta-national-golf-club.html

Condoleezza Rice has golfed more often since she served as Secretary of State. Now, she is one of the first two female members admitted to Augusta National Golf Club.

LTC David Brown - I didn't assert that the beach club had anything, and my comment about Augusta National was in the past tense. Words have meaning, David.

Communists and elites/politicians have that in common. "Rules for thee are not for me"
