but its cool though. I am (for the most part) aware of the so-called struggle, but I am NOT going to let that stop me from accomplishing any of my set goals.

I never said there wasn't a struggle. Professor, I live in one of the most racially-divided states of the US. Do you really think that I am not aware of this "struggle"?

You see, I don't think you are understanding me clearly. I never once said there wasn't a need for historically Black organizations to help prepetuate the understanding of Black culture and wealth, in fact I applaud quite a FEW.

My thing is though, why join an organization, that (from my experiences) has very little proactivity?

I believe your question was something to the effect of, :Why aren't you a member of the NAACP?

My answer is and has been, (FROM MY EXPERIENCE)

1.) the lack of proactivity
2.) total irrelevance to today's society

So believe me, I will continue to support every organization (TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY) that I SEE, does right for Black people. (minorities as a whole) and if you are a card-carrying member, was, will be, whatever that's wonderful. But you won't see me sending in my $25-$30 whatever anytime soon.
