I've heard nothing but good things about Jack and Jill from people who actually did it; it sounds like a great thing for a lot of middle and upper-middle class black kids, who are so often the "Only" in their school, neighborhood, or teams/clubs. So often, when those kids spend time with cousins or other black kids, they get accused of "acting" or "talking" white. (Once, I was accused of "sneezing" white. No lie.) I think as more blacks enter the professional class, things will get better for the kids--I know that my niece and nephew aren't the Onlys to the extent that my sister and I were.

Sneezing white? Wow. D***. Some of the things people come up with.
I didn't have the opportunity to be a part of J&J when I was a child. I had a blue-collar father, for one. MamaTrap also was the type who was low-key when I was a kid because my dad was shy and disliked being social.
I have several sororfriends, including one of my line sisters, who are in it and speak highly of it. |
