Some folks are saying the Baton Rouge Country Club isn't diverse enough

Just passing along what I'm hearing. Frankly, I think private clubs should be able to discriminate. I've heard the Baton Rouge Country Club has non-White members. I don't have a dog in this hunt. But, I'm just letting you know some folks figure they should be members.

I know a few POC members

What’s the requirements?

Im guessing the number of black folks in BR that want or could afford a country club membership is pretty low

Do you know the PGA tour played there?

The NFL and NBA player base isn’t diverse enough. Where are al the Asians and Mexicans?

I don't think that's how it works. I'm sure if they can afford it, nobody will turn them away.

That's how the CCLA got started

I don't know about now, but in the 80's they didn't allow Italians as members.

I saw this discussion on my Facebook. Local Baton Rouge community lady kicking up dust wanting to talk about "integrating the Baton Rouge Country Club". Almost 100% people of the community replying to the thread. Strange, they all agreed but none had any desire to actually go there.
WTF is integration? I mean last I checked, if you got the dollars and you really like golf, you can sign up at these private places no problem. Seems to me the country clubs are waaay more about dollars than race. I have a friend who is a member and he's black. But he probably makes $500k+ a year and has done so for so long that he doesn't understand normal people problems.

Yea good luck with that.

In the 80s there was a no Jews sign.
Webb park (westdale country club) (20s) was originally the country club that allowed Jews and other so called undesirables (italians, irish), then Sherwood Forest CC (50s), then CCLA (80s). Don't know if BRCC has its first Jewish member yet.

It is a country club. Diversity isn't really the point, by design.

They should start their own CC in NBR
Posted on 6/7/20 at 8:41 pm to Shaft Williams
Should be black only, and the white members must wash their feet monthly to maintain membership

This has been a going thing since the 90s, if not earlier.
My school held a big kumbaya retreat for the senior class then, when we returned, told us that BRCC was offering to host the graduation dinner and basically started a race fight in the class. Anyplace that was suggested wasn’t good enough because black people didn’t fill welcome there.
The final location? A plantation home in the BR area.

Can’t wait for BRCC to get publicly shamed.
They won’t give a shite
I grew up there, quite literally, and family in BR still members. That place is old school. They might gain popularity with potential membership if they get bad press for this.

There's no rule preventing minority membership and I know BRCC in recent years has tried to actively recruit minority members who can afford it. They haven't had luck because interest isn't there on the minorities side of the equation.

They can have that when whites can have equal representation in sports.
