Yes, many of "us educated Black folk" have received that "compliment" from whites and
I do think, however, whites have a tendency to assume that the world is not right until everyone assimilates to their way of thinking and doing things.
Why can't y'all just accept there are differences in the world, and not everyone wants to be just like you.
Someone mentioned up-thread that the NPHC has been operating just fine the way it has been for just over 100 years, and we are still going strong.
Each org / council has established what ever criteria they felt best for their membership. One is not better than the other - they are just different.

See, I had a long post in response to 33girl's post but didn't post it because I knew it would take this thread elsewhere. I love your post but know that it takes this thread elsewhere. And you know how GC acts when it is taken...elsewhere. *dundundun...dunnnnnnnnnn....*
