If you support research for breast cancer and that is important to you, join XYZ because that is their philanthropy, If you like Animal Rights, join TRQ because they help out at the local shelter. THAT is what they were formed FOR."
I understand what you're saying, but it goes deeper than that. One of the main focuses of a BGLO is being Black and working to improve the Black community. Our community is our philanthropy. Our community is what we stand for. Anyone who joins a BLGO has to have a commitment and a willingness to work to improve our community's worst conditions. If that makes it a color issue, so be it.
