Al Sharpton, really?

I know bestowing honorary memberships is mostly (although I can think of a few historically white GLO's that do it) a BGLO thing. But why? Historically white GLO's tend to claim famous people because of the belief that the famous person's time as a member of our GLO was instrumental in creating who they are. What say you? (and I'm sure, sure, sure that we've already discussed this before)

I say: http://www.aka1908.org/

Also, for the BGLOs that do grant honorary membership, most of the time it is to people who don't have the name recognition of a Michelle Obama or Bill Clinton. It is just because these folks have big names that the mainstream press gives the story any attention. That's a roundabout way of saying that we don't grant honorary membership just to "famous" folks or to folks because they are famous.

I only remember seeing that thread because I came looking for it after I heard about Clinton.
