There's a problem of authenticity for anyone who is not, say, sufficiently poor and black. I've seen it play out in this way. Some white middle-class foundation officers are not critical at all of certain black organizations or black working-class leaders. Whatever they do, the foundations support because they are an "authentic voice." Some program officers here in Chicago fund some really bad community organizations because the leaders of those organizations put themselves out as the authentic, black, working-class voice. The foundation person refuses to question that, doesn't ask "Why are you working on this and that issue?" Authenticity ploys and games are everywhere.
