HC how is that any different than asking sorors only to respond?

SC

HC it is possible, but not here on GC?

HC I see Rudey's point and intent of his thread?

HC sometimes it is all about the mirror?

HC the intent of a thread sometimes differs greatly from the results?

HC to talk privately sometimes you have to talk in private?

HC it's real hard to have a private discussion on a public board about sensitive matters?

HC GP offers private fellowship forum areas for EVERYONE?

HC folks is still sleepin on GP?

HC a healthy dose of respect is what everyone needs to snack on?

HC people need a hug?

HC we need one large "Anything Goes" thread on GC so that people can share how they really feel?

HC you have to try to understand before you can get someone to understand you?

HC a lot of people want to make the last point, but not a point that lasts?

HC some are making too much out of it on BOTH sides

HC it's never a bad idea to discuss things

HC people say they think the thread is ridiculous, but continue to talk about it

HC it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but that still doesn't mean it shouldn't be brought up?

HC sometimes sensitive threads come out, and there can be some really great ideas that come out of those threads.

HC everyone (myself included) sometimes has to read the complete thread, and not just pick and choose the posts they're going to read.

HC I'm hoping I haven't lowered myself to the level of some posting here...

HC I'm hoping that all the posters to take a step back and look at how stupid the majority of this crap is...

HC. . .
No Coop, I've never said that my experiences are more valid than others, nor do I know the posters' qualifications and whether or not they are able to speak on tolerance or diversity. But they can't tell me how to feel when I go in a store and a cashier will not look me in the eye, or place change directly in my hand because they're afraid that something may happen. No amount of diversity teaching can do anything about that.

I can only go on what I've seen; not only that thread, but others threads have appeared to be less than tolerable. I can also only speak to what it appears that others are feeling, which is my feeling as well - everything seems to point to race in a negative manner, which is a sensitive topic, and until Jesus returns, I don't think that's an issue that will ever be agreed upon (and I'm not presuming to speak on the behalf of others here, just for myself). My Soror talks about tolerance, but it turns toward race. Soror Moderator asks only BGLO members to post in the thread, and someone gets offended, then it turns to race. Green eggs and ham comes up and, you guessed it, race!

HC you and I can agree to sit back and say "Let's stop the madness".

HC Rudey started the thread by placing an emphasis on race as if that was the distinction that I was trying to make when I asked for BGLO posters?
HC it was not about *race* at all?
HC I wanted to hear from people actually in the organizations that I directed my comment to?
HC that's why I said "BGLO" and not Black people in BGLOs?
HC there is a difference b/c we have non-Black people in BGLOs too whose comment I would have welcomed as they are actually apart of the Divine 9?
HC this is about the Divine 9 not about race?
HC that's why Starang21 who posted but who is not Black did not get his post deleted?
HC the thread excludes Black non-members of BGLOs who are not actually in the organizations too?
HC that's b/c, again, my point was to hear from real live members, not theorists?
HC why can't members of BGLOs talk amongst themselves without everyone always putting their two cents in?
HC why isn't that possible sometime?
HC how is that any different than asking sorors only to respond?

HC some folk are doing it real big in the imagination department? LOL

HC nobody asked me whether the post was about race instead making that silly assumption and then making a 50 million page thread out of an issue that was not even existent in my thread?

HC stop reading things into text and seek first to understand instead of to be understood?
HC that's one of the seven habits of highly effectively people?
HC I can only shake my head and laugh?

HC some folk have too much time on their hands?

SC

HC I understood your point of view
HC I am Black and in a non-BGLO but was not offended at what you trying to accomplish

HC Soror SummerChild it's not really about your post

HC they want a united stand against bad GC Alphas

HC their own threads didn't do anything to their liking, APhiA didn't do anything to their liking, so when you started your thread it became another outlet to speak out

HC I know our Moderator didn't want that to happen

HC the Pearls of Wisdom applies to all

<hijack> Wait so the change placed directly in the hand thing is bad?.... That always happens to me... except at places like resturants when you pay the bill...

I'm serious about the change thing - it always happens here and I've always do it to other people too... I didn't know that some people find that offensive...

You missed my point so much that you actually MADE it. . .in situations of many African-Americans, cashiers DON'T look us in the eye or DON'T place change directly in our hands. No amount of diversity training could tell you how that makes me feel.

oh yeah. . . I forgot HC. . .:cool:

Hi Soror,
I just wanted to add that my thread wasn't in support or against tolerance? I just wanted to engage in an interesting discussion. I haven't actually put forth my opinion. My questions in the thread are just to facilitate convo. I am still making up my mind.

But thanks for having my back Soror. :)

Wow Tnxbutterfly,
I think that you may be one of few non-BGLO members who spoke out who actually got it. Thanks for the positivity.

Sorors, if you don't reply to these posters, they won't have anyone to talk to. :)
HC I don't apologize for starting the thread but I do apologize (to Sorors and other normal frequenters of the forum) for starting a thread that others love to draw negativity into as this brings negativity to you and your day whether I intended it or not?
HC Sorors, culture :) will carry the day?

HC My bad SummerChild.
HC I'm black and not a member of a BGLO and I understood where you were coming from.
HC I think a bunch of other folks do to.
HC We didn't mean to not have your back.
HC I think we were all trying to run away from the madness.

HC Marie, you're fine - don't worry?
HC I just happened to see Tnx's post and thought that I would reply to her?
HC I'm glad that you didn't respond?
HC I haven't responded either? ;)
HC Why did it snow today in the Chi?
HC Craaazy weather?

HC this happened because they wanted to express their opinion and it wasn't asked for nor was it relevant, so they decided to turn into a discussion so that they can feel that they too have a relevant discussion peice?

HC it's quite ridiculous and pompous to throw a hissy fit like many of those posters because their opinion wasn't needed nor asked for.

HC it's not about you.

HC these fools are trying to discuss an alpha issue on akuh ave?

HC I'm an ex-lurker/non-glo member who just had to speak?

HC After seeing all the commotion in the other forum, I created a thread for everyone? :)

HC I thought that might make people happy? :rolleyes:

HC It didn't? :mad:

HC Someone thought of it as an attempt to keep isht going? :eek:

HC I just wanted to help? :(

HC I just got back from a client in Bloomington, IL where it was at least 50 degrees.
HC I don't feel comforted b/c this time last week I was in Seattle where it was knocking on 70 degrees.
HC I'm soooooo ready for summer or at least spring to arrive.

But seriously people don't directly hand you change when you shop... how f*****-up is that...
