Ok I am not seeing how this is related to Groove Phi Groove or the topic at hand, but I felt compelled to respond. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated has members of many nationalities, religions and races. We are an international public service organization of 150,000 women in more than 900 chapters in the United States, West African, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Germany, Bermuda, Korea, England and Japan. Because you yourself have never seen a white member just means that you have not seen much. Or at least, as much as I have. I have numerious White, Asian, Indian, Latino and Black sorors that span across the globe. The most famous white member of Alpha Kappa Alpha is Elenor Roosevelt. If you have never heard of this woman I do apologize. If I were you, I would leave it up to members of Historically Black groups to speak on issues concerning Historically Black groups. We have never issued a statement that says "only other blacks can help black communities" so I am not sure where you got that information from. To agree with you, yes, maybe you are just nieve. I hope I have enlightened a few readers. Now, back to the topic at hand.
