Honestly I tried to refrain from going here but I think there is something a little bit strange and slightly twisted about an African American woman proclaiming that the NAACP is not proactive but in the same breath can go on to a message board for the Kappa Alpha Order and promclaim loudly her love for the organization and members of an organization who's history is questionable at best. What is really going on ???????????
This is just bothering the mess out of me.

I never said there wasn't a struggle. Professor, I live in one of the most racially-divided states of the US. Do you really think that I am not aware of this "struggle"?
You see, I don't think you are understanding me clearly. I never once said there wasn't a need for historically Black organizations to help prepetuate the understanding of Black culture and wealth, in fact I applaud quite a FEW.
My thing is though, why join an organization, that (from my experiences) has very little proactivity?
I believe your question was something to the effect of, :Why aren't you a member of the NAACP?
My answer is and has been, (FROM MY EXPERIENCE)
1.) the lack of proactivity
2.) total irrelevance to today's society
So believe me, I will continue to support every organization (TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY) that I SEE, does right for Black people. (minorities as a whole) and if you are a card-carrying member, was, will be, whatever that's wonderful. But you won't see me sending in my $25-$30 whatever anytime soon.
