I'd like to offer my opinion based on my personal experiences. I found that, as an African American woman who chose to join an NPC, I got more crap and resistance from OTHER AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN than from Caucasians! I was called an Uncle Tom, an Oreo, I was spat at, you name it. So, my thinking is that other African American women might join NPC groups if they didn't fear getting ostracized and harassed. I didn't let it stop me and I wish other women who choose to question another woman's choice would remember that it's really none of their business, to be brutally honest!
