[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, judging from the pictures on their website, a lot of their members don't look like Vanessa Williams or Halle Berry.[/quote] I think now that more non J&J legacy Black people have made some real professional gains and are starting to create some level of wealth, joining an organization like J&J says "I've arrived" even though they may understand the history behind the inception of the organization. Social climbing isn't restricted to one race. I've met way too many Black people that are hell bent on proving to people that they "can afford everything some else can". For some, paying the J&J dues is a badge of honor because it says "I have $8-10K of discretionary income to spend on being a member of an exclusive organization." To me it's like Condoleeza Rice walking around Augusta in a green jacket; belonging just because you were finally invited. Disgusting![/quote]
