Maybe some are and some aren't.
So Who in the hell cares as long as they have Membership and are doing well! We have Black Members and We berated for it. We go on a HBC and We get Berated for it. Now, Who is at Fault? Not us. |
Historically white isn't offensive to me and neither is predominantly white. Why? Because that's just the majority of who makes up most NPC groups. My chapter isn't majority white by any means (it's majority hispanic) but a lot of the other chapters are. To see any black girl in another chapter is very rare (believe me, I've been on tons of websites there aren't too many of us.) But it doesn't mean that my org. as a whole prefers one race over another. It just means that the majority of people who have joined and who are joining are white. Before I even joined I noticed an strange point. At the time my org. was founded, my family was working as slaves in the same state. It's sort of ironic and sometimes weird, but I didn't let it stop me from joining, race/race history/race relations just wasn't an issue. Why does everyone keep fighting about these terms? People use words to communicate and they are trying to communicate the point that some organizations are in fact majority white in membership, that does not translate into exclusively white under any circumstances. It also works the same way: HBCU or HBGLO, etc. I just can't get why everyone is up in arms. It is what it is. If you must describe it in terms of race then PW seems fairly accurate.

I do understand that sometimes it seems that groups can't "win for losing" but that's life. There will always be something for someone to complain about. Can't please everyone. Like you said, it doesn't matter as long as there's membership and things are well. :) And again it's HBCU--not because leaving the "U" out is offensive but because you want to be sure to include the "Universities" (like NC A&T and Howard) that are originally included in the acronym. ;) |

This conversation has nothing to do with intellect, and if you think I'm going to be cursing and screaming, your opinion of yourself needs a reality check. You're a pathetic excuse for a person who has to regress to insults because you have nothing to back up your points. And go ahead and say whatever you want, because you're about to see the ignore feature. |

Well, he/she also made reference to nonGreek African Americans in that post. He/she wanted the world to FINALLY know that DSTChaos' opinions aren't reflective of the millions of African Americans in this country. I'm so glad I'm no longer the spokesperson for an entire race...or the entire NPHC...or even Delta--what a weight FINALLY lifted off of my shoulders. :p |

Anyone wanna help me out here? What is he saying? What's a 'Poat'? 'Teh poor original Poat', is this like 'The Incredible Edible Egg'? I can't seem to decipher half of your posts, Tom. Apparently Hooked on Phonics didn't work for you... :( But I bet your little Kappa friend would beg to differ, and I'd have no choice but to go with what he says because since he's a member of the Divine 9, anything he says goes. Right? I apologize to you, Tom and your one Kappa friend whose assertions of all situations are correct and should be believed by all. :rolleyes: |

Thanks for explaining!!!! Tom, don't drink and post! :( |
We already decided that if we started fining for people PUIing, and used the fines for a GC scholarship, Tom could send some luckey person on a full ride to the Ivy League school of their choice on his fines alone.;) Stan could send someone to community college with his fines.

This thread is predominantly ridiculous. That means ridiculous posts are the most frequent and common posts in this thread. It does not mean that if this thread had a choice, it would prefer to have as many ridiculous posts as it does. This thread is not expressing a preference for ridiculous posts; they simply outnumber non-ridiculous posts.

go on ahead and ignore me, you're a weak minded individual who couldn't hang on this site to begin with. just because you couldn't actually reply to the post shows that you're not capable of having any sort of intellectual discourse. |
