Please read all of the post on this board (especially the last one by Blackwatch). There is a wealth of information post by some that explain WHY BGLO's focus on AA communities.
If the roles were reversed and SOME white GLO members were saying that they did not want blacks in their org. (I would probaly participate in that thread and post some logical knowledge and not just my personal opinion or experiences) becasue they were founded to uplift the white community, would I consider that racism? Only if their definition of "uplifting the community" meant oppressing mine or any other minority.
BGLO's DO NOT go out and opress other groups of people while trying to better theirs. Yes, their main focus are on the African american community, just like LGLO's main focus is on the Latino community, as so on.
Please go and check out www.naacp.com and www.naawp.com and compare the two. These are two orgs, founded on two different historical bases, but yet, you teel me which one is the racist. No where on the NAACP's website will you find offensive speech, ideas, para', membership requirement, or anything of that nature, unlike the naawp.

I have read all of the posts in this thread, some are rather disturbing, some are rather informative. To be honest, i can post whatever i want it can be an opinion and it doesn't have to be "logical knowledge" and I don't really know much about bglos, hence, my "logical knowledge" is kinda limited, but i stated that toward the end of my post
I was just wanting to know because i know that many historically white glo's don't go out and promote a "white community" because in all honesty, many of them aren't comprised off all white members, but of a mix of many many races, not just black or white. So ok, it wouldn't involve pushing out or phasing out the "black community" but if the wglos brought up this topic, we'll say my glo, psd brought this up, would it be viewed as racist?
About the omega comment, i never said that all of the posts in this thread represent all views of all members in bglos, i just made a statement that what happened in that incident doesn't reflect all wglos.
About the whole naacp and naawp, for clarification, those are two completely different groups, and the naawp is shit. It is a racist movement, a slap in the face of the establishment of the naacp, and I don't view it as relevant matter to this subject. I hate the naawp as much as the kkk, f(#(#ng stupid skinheads and any other racist organization out there, including the black panther party, I don't agree with any group that ppposes/oppresses/discriminates against another group because of their race, gender, sex, sexual preference, religious infliction, physical and/or mental handicaps and on and on.
It's just, the african american members that we do have are proud, and damn proud, and when i read comments like, "why would the join" or "they should use their resources to help their people" it makes me wonder if they are truly happy being brothers, you know?
