While I understand your stance (really, I believe I get where you are coming from), weren't there NPHC orgs that have been historically NOTORIOUS for doing the very same thing-- judging potential members by the color of their skin as opposed to the full content of their characters? Perhaps "colorism" wasn't necessarily built into any of our founder's requisites for membership into any of our organizations, skin color hasn't been an issue solely affecting groups outside of the NPHC... and there are TONS more chapters in the NPHC who "segregate" amongs US (meaning people of color), too...
just a thought.
