Wow. It seems like that person has a lot of negative thoughts about a club for kids! I'd love to hear the hate he or she gives to sororities and fraternities.
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.
