Well, generally speaking, you all know that those activities are most likely to attract white people. Some organizations intentionally exclude others by saying "if we do this, other races won't come so let's keep it exclusive" and other organizations simply understand that exclusion is a trickle down effect "it's fine if blacks come b/c we don't discriminate but we know that skeet shoots are likely to attract whites than blacks so let's continue doing stuff that WE like to do."
From the surface, there's no harm and no foul. Below the surface, being exclusive means that others aren't able to network with you all and receive whatever benefits of association there are. That's life but it can have negative outcomes (just like the exclusiveness of BGLOs can).
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
