Sell Out???

[Sunshine14]

I was just wondering if I am wrong for thinking that Blacks who are Republicans or Blacks who join white sororities and fraternities are some how selling out to the black race?? I was reading a past post on Condoleeza Rice and Collin Powell and remembered what I read in Lawrence Graham's Book "Our Kind of People". I remember him stating in the last chapter that one of the sure ways for blacks to pass as whites is to become a Republican and join white groups and their ideas. Basically, anything that dosen't concern blacks...do it! Also I just read a post that stated Condoleeza Rice is also a member of a white sorority, Alpha Chi Omega. After reading that, I really started wondering about her views as a black woman. What do you think? Am I looking too deep into this or is there some validity to my thought's? Are blacks that join the Republican Party and other white social groups (sororities and fraterniteis) considered to be sell outs?
