shinerbock is right.
There is such a thing as popular black culture. Not every black person in America adheres to it or can relate to it, and many in fact disapprove of it, such as black leaders of the clergy, government and the business world. But you can't sit there and say there is no such thing. I've heard many denounce it. Just look at what the top songs in America are right now. All glorify the ghetto culture. And beyond that, yes, race relations are different in the South! There are people in GLOs who are racist, and there are people involved in GLOs who are NOT. Do you think integrating my sorority in 2003 was easy? No, it sure as hell wasn't. But I can say that I'm not racist. I never had a problem with anyone of any race joining my sorority, but it is disheartening to see others' reactions, even 2 and a half years later. That's why changes must slowly be made so that the South eventually will be like any other place in the country. But it's not all rainbows and smiley faces now. And strides are being made. And let's not forget that there are racists all over the country, aimed at all sorts of races and nationalities. And finally...true Southern fraternity gentlemen who really care about their fraternities are not sitting over on fratty.net bragging about hunting ducks or sex or polo shirts or whatever. I find it hard to believe that any true 'fratty' types are spending all their time on a message board that glorifies the lifestyle. |

It's not okay to stereotype and use that as an excuse for excluding members of a race from an organization no matter where you are in the country. |

So maybe it's a two-sided thing? |

It sounds like you're saying, "Well, we have our organizations and they have theirs, so let's all be happy with that." |

Rudey, I have not idea what kind of Tea this is, but this is one of the most inane threads I have read lately!:rolleyes: Everyone is going to be racist in some form or another. Dont BS anyone and say Your not!:eek: If anyone says so, then basically they are not telling the truth! Some of Us try to be better about it than others. If the others have their thoughts, no one will change them! Easy and simple! |

I'm not saying that changes aren't happening -- they are. There are more multicultural GLOs popping up all over the South, and more and more NPC and NIC chapters are integrating, and I think that's what needs to happen. But you simply can't force it, is all I'm trying to say. I deeply resent anyone calling me racist. And Tom Earp is right -- everyone, absolutely everyone on this planet, stereotypes. |
