Friends or enemies?

Hey everyone So I just joined this group at school. They have to help their community in some ways. Our goals are quiet big but the girls that are there have a ton of drama. I'll explain it in a min. Anyways, they don't get along or anything, they can't work together. I joined and went to the meeting a few days ago and it is crazy! I mean it. One the members, the day after the meeting (she didn't make it to the meeting), she told me to leave asap because of all the drama. I told her no and that I was here to help. Then all of the sudden she says, "well you know we're black people right? We hold grudges" I mean my jaw dropped. Like seriously? Where did that even come from?

But anyways, today, they were like we're having a meeting after school and they literally said this like 3 mins before my ride appeared. I couldn't make it to that meeting. And actually, it wasn't even a meeting. The leader just stupidly posted in the group chat that she wants to meet up at a place. Then two other girls say okay but something happens and I thought they wanted me. They said no and then the leader said yes, she wanted see me I told her I can't because my ride would be there soon. Then all of the sudden, she goes off on m and says that I wanted to have a meeting and I couldn't even make it to this one. I mean, I was not aware about it until last minute Is that really my fault?

Okay back to the grudge thing. Let's say girl 1 texted in the group chat saying that spreading rumors is not allowed. I never did that. All that happened today at lunch was that I explained what happened with girl 2 (the one who said the grudge thing). Girl 3 (the one who said I "spread" rumors) told girl 2 what happened. That's when girl 1 said that. Then they start going off on me and everything. I even apologized for saying that what she said was racist. I think she thought that I said she was racist. But I'm not sure. Anyways, that happened today. I need to clear this up by tomorrow. We have something happening Saturday (pretty sure something is happening) But I just want some opinions on this and thoughts. Advice is what I need tho. If you guys give me some advice, that be great. I really don't want to break the bridge i have with them. I want to do this for me. I want to be a leader and be able to work with a team that is hard to work with. I'm not doing it to help them but I am doing it to improve my skills. advice, tips, thoughts, anything else thanks

I want to be a leader and be able to work with a team that is hard to work with.

You're in way over your head. From what I can gather that group is all kinds of dysfunctional and your position within it is laughably weak. You're not assertive enough to even be a member of this group without being treated like shit, let alone lead it.

My advice to you is that if you want to lead, first you need to learn leadership from someone worth following. Leave those bickering idiots and join a serious group that accomplishes serious things and observe how they deal with crisis. Learn to think in terms of respect and authority, not identity politics and fault.

You may have to remind them that black people are notoriously lazy. They need to understand your white superiority. Maybe invite them to lunch at popeyes?

you should rape someone to prove your dominance (preferably of the same gender)

Take revenge on the popular kids

That's a really great question

I think this group sounds dysfunctional and sketchy as fuck, better to pull out now before you're caught in some worse shenanigans.
