[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason I ask, is we are upper middle class/borderline wealthy. I have great experience with hosting educational events, fundraisers, etc. I’m very involved at my daughter’s school. I was interested because [b]my daughter is the only black girl in her entire grade.[/b] I just wanted to understand why are some chapters so cold. I know not everyone. I just couldn’t comprehend the snub. I have many friends in JJ, but unfortunately they are in another chapter. We seriously even considered moving (extreme and we came to our senses). [b]It just hurts my daughter to not see anyone who looks like her.[/b] She has friends, but when she gets around other black kids she lights up!!! It would be great to surround herself with kids with similar backgrounds.

The saddest part is, I got snubbed by someone who was an acquaintance. She knows my work and wouldn’t even send me info about the open events.

I guess In a way I’m a little bitter and my heart hurts for my daughter. When I want something I work hard and I get it, but with this I hit a wall or rather a locked door.

We have church and church. Mocha moms it is. [/quote]  I don't understand why people do this.  I would never put my Black kid in a position to be "the only".  It happened to me growing up, and it was very difficult.  When we did move, and I was around other black people (and other non-white people) I felt like my world opened up.  It was horrible being the only Black girl.  I'm so glad it was only for a few years. [/quote]

Same. I hated being the only black girl in school. It really sucks. My parents move to a very white suburb and it was so isolating. I ended going to Spelman. I swore I would never do this to my kid.[/quote]
