Do BGLO's = equality???
I am constantly bewildered as to the purpose of the BGLO. "Minorities" constantly fight for equality, but then separate themselves by creating groups and organizations that continue to exclude another race. I understand that BGLOs were created because the GLO was viewed as predominantly white and minorities felt they needed a group they could identify with; however, if the GLO called itself the WGLO it would not only be racist, but it would probably be immediately eliminated. I'm not trying to say that a WGLO should exist, but I feel that in order to get past racial tension and divisions, we need to work more on creating more diverse groups that do not include race in the title, thereby implying segregation. I don't want to trivialize feelings of hatred and segregation, but I think that it is time that we tried to look to the future instead of focusing on the past. I am in NO WAY a racist, I am just trying to understand how we're suppossed to work past such hatred by continuing to divide future generations.
