Miss Priss posed a very good question that no one has come forward to answer. Would we apply the same standards (i.e Master's) to BGLO segregation? I will start by saying that all D9 organizations have non-black members. Whether it's fully caucasian or the result of a multi-ethnic background, we all have them. However, I would also argue that there is still a culture of being very suspicious when a non-black person wants to pursue membership into our organizations. All this talk about allowing women in because there's no comparable golf club that allows women, sounds like the separate but equal clause that whites used against us. Now I don't think that a white person has ever sued to join one of the D9 organizations, but that day could be coming soon. My opinion is this, as long as a non-black person realizes that one of our main purposes is to uplift the African American community and they have a strong interest in that then I'm totally cool with them. Like I stated before, I'm for a woman being allowed membership at the Masters. I just don't feel that a court of law should force them to admit a woman. But if this thing eventually goes to court, don't be surprised if one of our orgs. are next on the chopping block that is our extremely litigiouis society.
