AUGUSTUS NATIONAL GOLF CLUB & OTHER THINGS

Once the society classifies you....then it can find reason to keep it that way. What exactly is the reason why women cannot be admitted as members in this age and time? Helloooooooo... this is 2012. The whole talk is just funny and there are no reasons why it is this way (There should not be any). Sometimes, when you hear these things you just wonder how deep prejudice has eaten into our society.... I would not have expected a thing like this to happen in the US...it is a free world over there but what do you know? people and thier rights!

Slavery and gender discrimination is really huge as much as Racism....these things  are things that just happen. Nobody plans to be born female, to be black or white, to have rich parents or be any tribe....it happens to you. In Africa, tribalism is huge...it has done so much harm and it is totally baseless.All that divide and rule stuffs just makes it worse.

Augusta National Golf club (Georgia) is one of the many things under the sun that i cannot understand. That they are dragging thier feet to admit a woman. Barack Obama has even voiced his opinion:

"His personal opinion is that women should be admitted," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, though added it was up to the prestigious club to make decisions on its all male members policy.

Carney said that Obama, an avid golfer who has two young daughters, personally told him of his opinion.

Now the focus is upon IBM chief executive officer Virginia Rometty possibly becoming the club's first woman member. Rometty became IBM's first woman CEO on January 1 and her four predecessors were all given Augusta National membership.

IBM is among the sponsors of the Masters and for nearly 30 years, IBM chief executives have been granted memberships, though not on any certain timetable. And as a private club, there is no legal obligation to have women as members.

 Augusta National chairman Billy Payne repeatedly dismissed questions about the club's membership policy at his annual Masters news conference on Wednesday.

"All issues of membership are now and have been historically subject to the private deliberations of the members," Payne said, repeating the statement in the same fashion several times when repeatedly pressed on the matter. Just those things you really cannot understand why.

We still cannot forget that Trayvon Martin case.....There are talks on racism being involved. On slavery, i recently read a piece about an indian cuople who locked thier 13 year old maid while they travelled for holiday. Who would have imagined that an educated couple will do such a thing in this age? that is the many pain, injustice under the sun. She did not choose to born poor but then.....that is the condition she has found herself. When you belong to a class...you need to fight to survive because life will not always give you that fairness. A lot of this nclassification ahs been passed on from generations and the tradition passes on without anyone questioning them.
