I would like to say that just because someone is not of the African American race doesn't mean they didnt have there share of racial disadvantages. For one people need to stop using that as a crutch. I go to a college where there is about 10000 in population and only around 250 black students. Yes there is that discrimination from time to time but if you don't fit into the boundaries of the stereotypes then you really dont have a problem. I'm like how can someone help you if you don't help yourself. Another thing is if no one would of took sides of our people then how would we have been granted all the rights that we have today. Yes there was struggle and intolerance was building up. But what about native americans-forced to give up there land and work as slaves as well. What about the Mexicans in this country today who are still worked like slaves? What about the Irish who where treated as trash and started the ghettos in the southern louisana area. Everyone looks as we are the only group to struggle we may have been among the worst but that doesn't make us any less than anyone else. It seems more now that we are accepted by everyone else except ourselves. My thing is if someone wants to be affiliated with a black GLO then they should be allowed only under the conditions they understand our history. They will go through things themselves just because of wanting to join, then when they join. I'm not one who is 100% for it, but we say we dont want to be discriminated on so how can we do what we dont want done to us.
