I'm not versed on BGLO's, so I really can't say much about them. From what I do understand, correct me if I'm wrong, they exist to uplift the black community. So, with the purpose stated, what is wrong with a white person wanting to take part in this endevor? No, I can't relate to what it feels like to be denied service becuase of my skin color, but I am a part of a generation that wants to help change that mentality. Just because I'm white, and I haven't had the same experiences, doesn't mean that I don't want to strive for a better world for ALL people. Just because I don't know what it's like to be discriminated against doesn't mean that I don't want to take part in uplifting a community that, despite what you think, I am a member of too. We ALL are members of this community--the US, the World. We are in it together, so why shouldn't I be allowed to help because my situation is different. It's like saying that we can't feed the hungry in Africa because we don't know what it's like to starve. Why would anyone want to deny the joy of helping others to someone? Why anyone want to deny the joy of having someone help to anyone? The more willing members, the more we can accomplish. That goes for ANY organization that uplifts this world.
