I could never be a Black Muslim. Sorry Malcolm X, but my God likes ham. And He might drink green tea and commune with nature most of the week, but after a rough night out my God has some black coffee with his bacon and eggs.
But the Black Muslims have got it figured out – they figured out how to discriminate without discriminating. For example: if you wanted to start a religion but you didn't want any Irish people at your church, you couldn't say "no Irish people" – that's discrimination, but you can say "no eating potatoes...or belligerent alcoholism."
But obviously that is a hypothetical scenario so let's take a real life situation – say you've got a country club and you don't want any Blacks or Jews. You can't say "no Blacks or Jews," that's discrimination, that's against the law, but you can require a swim test...and no bargaining!
