[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize there have been white people in leadership roles, right? [/quote]

This is off topic. I’m asking about the culture in local groups. Go start a new thread if you want to stir the pot. [/quote]

I’m actually trying to educate you bozos about the history of white people not only co-founding, but helping lead the NAACP.[/quote]

If you can share more about culture and history of the local chapters then please do.

Why does that matter? If anyone questions you, you can say you’re simply following in the long history of trying to be an ally. If they don’t know the history of their own organization, that’s really on them. They should know that white people co-founded it and have served as Chapter presidents. [/quote]

Because if I’m not really welcome then I don’t want to go.

My point is that white people have been welcomed throughout history and were instrumental in founding it, so there’s zero reason why you shouldn’t be welcome now.

The entire idea for the NAACP was white progressives; they contacted DuBois and other black leaders and asked them to help. [/quote]
