I think it is hard to tell where this group is coming from. On one hand, there have been many on this board who have said that it is up to whites to talk with their own to help on their side to alleviate the effects of white supremacy. Then on the other hand, there are some who would say if whites were to contribute to Black headed organizations that they are infiltrating the organization for their own benefit.
I would suggest getting in touch with this group and seeing really where they stand. The name of the organization has the word "Caucasians" in it, why should it be a surprise that the people in the organization are all white, on top of that, how do we really know that they do not have links with true African centered organizations who they have deliberated with and come to a mutual decision with that a white group centered on the issue of reparations is the most effective strategy?
I overstand your initial reaction Yan, as many white groups are full of shi* when it comes to this kind of thing, but perhaps we should learn a bit more about them before we totally dismiss them as "laughable." I gladly will join you in your assessment if further research proves your point.
