Yeah, as I figured. From their site:

Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years of age to access and use the Service. You must also be single or separated from your spouse to use the Service. Any use of the Service is void where prohibited. By accessing and using the Website, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you become a Member, you represent and warrant that you have never been convicted of a felony and that you are not required to register as a sex offender with any government entity. Using the Service may be prohibited or restricted in certain countries. If you use the Service from outside of the United States, you are responsible for complying with the laws and regulations of the territory from which you access or use the Website or Service.

It's marketed toward black people, again likely due to the difficulty of finding black singles, them being 17% of the population.

I or any white person seems to be allowed to join however.

That's all completely true. But equality is equality. Equality doesn't care about numbers..

Equality can sometimes seem brutal. If you think about it..

For example if I was the head of a company and I was going to hire 10 people and the 10 best most qualified people for the job were asian women then I would hire 10 asian women. Why shouldn't I? If I thought they were the most skilled and qualified? With total equality I wouldn't have anything to prove. I wouldn't be required to show diversity.

It's not a pro asian women thing(or an anti everybody els thing), it's a pro skill and qualification thing.

Let's look at a question asked by the debate creator:

"wouldn't the the black community throw a goddam fit having the NAACP and Al Sharpton all over the news trying to ban the site."

-That's a little extreme isn't it. But people on the other side would be angry there's no denying that. I don't know if they would say "you can't do that" (we're not necessarily talking about rights or laws) but they would be angry or annoyed at the very least. So with total equality is there any validity in their aggravation?

This poses three interesting questions; Do we really want equality? Do we really have equality? And is the idea of total equality even realistic?

1. I do. But sad to say a lot of people black and white want the opposite.

2.&3;. Hard to say. We've come a long way but it's difficult to achieve because of human nature. Given that I think we're doing a decent job. But we don't have nor will we ever have pure total equality because of people getting fussy over pro white things and vice verse.

(These are honest questions I actually had to think about)

I do agree that for efficiency there would be need for a website like this.

And I don't think the website is racist by the way.

EDIT: Ok so I probably shouldn't have actually "disputed" your argument because I really didn't dispute anything you said. I kind of got on a tangent about equality. Heck this could have been it's own debate. (;

I was going to dispute what you was saying, however, I continued to read, and I really enjoyed what you are saying, however still racist...

First off, justifying the site note being racist, as there are other sites are more available to white users.. those same sites are available to black users, not true with blackpeoplemeet.com... also christian, jewish - is a MIND set not a physical attribute, and dateginger.com ... uhh you can dye ur hair RED, ANYONE can be Christian, jewish or a redhead... -basically the difference is uhh genetics maybe? sorry, not following you...

Your argument is racist... also, the number is wrong, remember that black people do not live only in Africa.
