[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question - why would someone from PG County need to join J&J?  Your ENTIRE county is black, so your children do not need the benefit of J&J (activities with other black children, etc.) because they would be getting that everyday at their predominantly black schools.  I think this just shows that membership is perceived to be a badge of honor for those blacks who think they've made it as opposed to an organization that connects black families to activities that they can do together.[/quote]
The county may be majority Black but a small percentage of those people have the pedigree that is desirable for J&J.  [b]Government workers[/b], first generation college (think Strayer, online degrees, kids aren't going to college, etc...). This may be a sweeping generalization of the county but the true "J&J types" of PG County are few and far between. That county isn't considered the 9th ward of DC for nothing... a lot of people feel that it is extension of Ward 8.[/quote]

Are government workers undesirable? Wow.

My problem with groups like this is that black people fought hard to end segregation, yet decide to be in segregated organizations. The same with black colleges. I understand the purpose that these institutions play(ed) for black people, but really for how long we need to keep segregating ourselves? [/quote]
