Gina_lynn, I am glad you bring up this point, because I've wondered about it for quite some time, and couldn't quite make sense of it.
I have read over and over again on these boards (from black and white alike) that BGLOs were formed because black people couldn't get into GLOs and this saddens me...Our founders had specific goals and objective that they didn't find ANYWHERE ELSE. Think about it.
I definitely empathize with realizing there is a void to be filled, and then carving out a niche and creating a legacy, being a member of my (very small, very young, and very unique) GLO.
It would be interesting to know from you (and other BGLO members') point of view, about what the goals/ideal/objectives were that you didn't find in already established organizations, and how establishing your BGLO created a niche and filled that void. I (and others, I am sure) don't necessarily understand the point of view, not being in a BGLOs.
