So the Pros –

Jack and Jill exposes its members to positive Black experiences early in age.
Jack and Jill creates a strong network that will carry over until college and beyond.
Jack and Jill sponsors social and cultural events that prepare children for the real world.

So the Cons -

Jack and Jill exposes members to ONLY the same type of Black kids.
Jack and Jill creates a false sense of what Black America is, more so America in general.
Jack and Jill sponsors invite-only events, thus at an early age, children are not taught to “play nice” with other Blacks

I think the "pros" are fact and the "cons" are opinion. I read the blog. I think this person's experience has been somewhat limited. The Jack and Jiller's that I've met run a gamut of different personalities which include introverts and extroverts.
