If you were interested in colorism's effect on the black community, then you wouldn't have mentioned AKA and Delta.

Why wouldnt I if they are a part of the black community? Colorism in the black community helped determine who was granted a college education, and both organizations were founded on a college campus, by college students, who may have been admitted with their skin color as a factor. So it all relates.

Why would you go into a chatroom to get information regarding your thesis? Maybe you should just stick to founding your own club, "Zeus", and stay away from writing a thesis if you are going to go on GC for information regarding your topic.
