Hmm. There's a 50% chance this is a troll thread. I'll bite anyways.

The Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals (OBAP) is a legitimate and long-standing organization. Their conferences/career fairs are well-attended by airlines, who do a lot of recruiting there. Their membership is open to anyone of any race who supports greater minority involvement in aviation, and a large part of what they do is outreach to underprivileged urban youth. Lately, there have been a lot of non-minority members that have been attending their career fairs. I recently flew with a member of the OBAP board of directors and he indicated that they are aware of this trend and are 100% ok with it, so long as these members are supportive of OBAP's larger goals.
