No one can join our 'ranks' because we're not in any kind of formation. We're a non-group consisting of those who don't subscribe to god belief. Of course, from the point of view of a believer, we all alike in being sinister.
bullshit.
We are not the "black sheep", despite what you feel inside.

Msot attempts to outreach to minority communities have been terrible received for one, For two she seem is talking about activist organizations, many of which need free time and travel. Those are much more difficult for working class people as we often have work longer or shittier hours and dont have the extra cash to travel places freely. Now in america for reasons that are completely beyond my understanding there are more per capita middle class white people then black people, so as a result you have more white people at this meetings. I personally thing this whole thing is retarded as average black man is just as capable of doing whatever he sets his mind too as a white person but I feel this is something that suggests far deeper societal issues. Unfortunately being Canadian I can't elaborate on this because we dont have these issues to even close to the same extant and our education is much better(though you wouldn't know it from my typing)
agreed.
