Actually, I have. But my point is that, although I may have attended an event sponsored by a BGLO, the comments that I've read in this thread have indicated to me that I would be most unwelcome if I ever tried to actually join a BGLO.
It's as if some of the black GLO members on GC have a line drawn in the sand that they don't want whites to cross. We can get close enough to help out philanthropy-wise on our own, but we're being told that it isn't okay to jump in headfirst and help out side by side as a member of an HBGLO. To me, that's wrong. It's as if you want your cake, but you want to eat it, too.
The perception that I'm getting from reading threads like this one is that blacks want equality in this country and don't want to be be discriminated against. However, some of them are discriminating against whites and don't see a problem with doing so. It's time for those people to decide: do they want to voluntarily and deliberately separate themselves from what they perceive as a "white" community and strive for the betterment of their own race only, or do they want to be treated equally as the whites and work together to better EVERY community?
