L-Dawg...I completely understand your perspective. I think that minority issues are only perpetuated when minorities segregate themselves....even with something has "harmless" aa the "unofficial" org name, BGLO.

I guess you could call me a minority ...because I am a woman. Allow me to explain. When I was in college, I was only one of a few women working on a B.S. in Chemistry. There were several scholarships that the Chemistry department awarded to students...one of which was awarded to an "Outstanding Female" in the department. Several of my professors told me that I should apply for the scholarship. I refused. I didn't want to win a scholarship just because I was an outstanding "female" student. I wanted to win a scholarship because I was an outstanding student PERIOD! I did not want to participate in something that I think further separates women from men.....something that pushes us further away from equality. Women complain about the glass ceiling that exists in the business world. True, women are not paid the same as men for doing the same job.....but I believe that scenario continues to exist because woman (as well as other so called minorities) continue to involve themselves in or support issues, events, organizations and such that cast us in a minority-type role.

Does that make sense to anyone else?
