Some were not pretty before they joined..now all of a sudden they are (at least they think so  )..some didn't do a lick of community service before they joined..now they do.. On one hand this is a good thing..I guess...but on the other hand it says a lot about where these folks get their sense of self worth. All that said, its obvious why no matter what some are not going to admit their orgs shortcomings.
Your points are well taken RM, but you're preaching to the choir here on GC with these particular comments!

See, before I just
thought you were confused, but you've now cleared up any doubt. Thanks for the clarification.
You are a part of one of the D9 orgs that Rainman loves to bash (and secretly covets), are you not? But yet you agree with him questioning our very existence?
Why join or continue claiming an org that you don't seem to have much love for and whose primary purpose is the upliftment of the black community when you take every opportunity to belittle that very same community? Counterproductive, much? Your intentions just seem mad shady to me. I'm sure there's some ultra conservative, non-black, debate club out there that would love to have you. I'm not even going to give much thought to that whole "self worth" nonsense. I think everyone reading this questions yours every time you post.
By the way, you've totally misused the cliché "preaching to the choir" in this instance.
Anyway, I've finally read through this entire thread and I think that, as usual, members of the D9 have held it down in here in the midst of naysayers. We've been doing that since 1906.
