[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]J&J was founded by Blacks that wanted to be exclusionary and were themselves excluded from DAR and the such.[/quote]

Guessing nobody sponsored you.[/quote]
This is the elitist attitude that is pervasive in the organization.  FWIW, I am Black, two DC's in private (full freight), high HHI, etc... but this is the attitude we get from white people who look down on us and assume they know who we are.  I don't need this from a group of Black people who's only "leg up" on me is that they are from a generation of well educated, well off, elite upper crust of Black society.  Like a PP, I am first generation law school, self made and will not be getting anything from my broke parents' "estate". I've also never been approached about sponsorship and it is not something that I would seek out.  I think J&J is a good organization for people who have a history and want to continue that legacy for their children; wanting your children to socialize with people of the same ilk is something other races/ethnicities have been doing for years. My own personal issue with J&J is that historically I would not have been someone invited to join and now that my family's pedigree may be aligned with other members, I don't feel the need to belong to a specific organization so my children can meet/mate with the Oak Bluffs crowd.

Most of the people I know from J&J aren't interested in [i]genuinely [/i]befriending my family anyway.[/quote]
