If you’re referring to Karnofsky’s, it was a record shop, not a jazz club. And it’s more accurate to say the Karnofsky family put Louis Armstrong on the map.

Just saw it this morning. I was multi tasking so I get it. And fyi my name is Brian although people mistakenly spell it Bryan. And there are two spellings for Payton/Peyton. 

Point is it is part of American history and a shame it got destroyed.

The point is you have a knack fir getting things wrong.

Apparently segregation is the best solution for segregation? WTH?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Well, I don't agree with this. There is a difference between affinity groups and segregation

feel free to elaborate. How are affinity groups not segregation and how is it not just like using wars to stop more wars or yelling to stop more yelling?

It isn’t segregation. Think of them as working focus groups. An affinity group is usually better able to delineate a problem and offer solutions than a more diverse group, whose members may have different standards and goals.

For example, imagine an organization wants to address the issue of substandard housing among the Black segment of a community. You’re more likely to get actionable ideas from an eight-member Black affinity group that a group made up of two Blacks, two Whites, two Hispanics and two Pacific Islanders. 

If you’re designing a bridge, you hire engineers, not bakers.
