Kind of contradicing yourself there prettygyrl? First you say that it is not okay for a group of people to have a piece of everything, then you say it is okay for another group of people to have a piece of everything. Yes, I know you wrote "underrepresented in every dam thing" but this does imply that there should be representation in everything.
In order for one group of people to gain equal representation the rules must apply to all people. Otherwise, it would cause unequal representation. It cannot be considered equal for black people to be allowed entrance into a histocially white college/university if white people were not allowed entrance into a HBCU. In order to get equality you've gotta give equality. This is the idea behind equality for all. If you were to stand in the way of a white person entering a HBCU or a BGLO you would be no different than a white person who would stand in the way of a black person entering a HWCU or a WGLO.

So are you saying that BGLOS should not allow white members? At the same time the BGLO founders were establishing these organizations there were also many other organizations which felt the same way you describe about black people. Does how these people (white/black founders) felt back then mean that we should not change this? Does this mean that all of society should not change either? Should we all forget about social progress and just go back to the way people thought 100 years ago? Is that what you really want? Segregation/separation?
After reading many of your posts, prettygyrl, I get confused as to what you say you are fighting for. You may say you want equality & justice, but so much more of your words are saying that you want hatred & anger between white & black people. That's only going to get in the way of progress & change, not help it.
