Call me shamelessly optimisic, but I think irrespective of her hair texture, chosen sorority or even her choice of church, I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, until she shows me that she is a sell-out. We will soon see what her position is regarding people of the African diaspora, so we just have to wait & see.
Similarly to a lot of people that posted, I have come into contact w/blacks who wouldnt know they were black if they walked in front of a mirror, especially when I was in law school, which a MINORITY, not just black population of about 8%. But I found a few exceptions to the rule. Some of those people who pledged WGLOs andhung out w/ whites almost exclusively and talked about non-existent non-black heritage are just wounded children, and it's sad.
So, even if se proves herself to be a sell out, Aunt Jane, or whatever, I would tend to pity, rather than hate. Unforunately, she has the lives of our brothers and sisters around the world and , arguably here, in her hands.
