KA certainly does identify with being southern, but to draw the tangent of racism is idiotic. Either ophiaren3 is trying to stir up trouble or he/she is a moron. No other possibilities come to mind.

I was not trying to "stir up trouble", nor am I stupid. I was trying to get some feedback for my sociology assignment last month. The categorization of KA in my post did not come from me, but from the article that I mentioned in the post - a representative from the National Alliance (one of the largest hate groups in the U.S.) has stated that fraternities are one of their targets. You all may remember I posted more generally about this in the Greek Life forum as well; I posted specifically in the KA forum because they were specifically mentioned in the article, but did not see any need to bring their name up in the main forum.
If anyone would like to read the article themselves, it is from the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, Vol. 31, Spring 2001, titled "National Alliance Targets White Fraternities".
What I wanted to know from the KA forum was whether or not anyone had heard of any chapters actually being contacted by the NA, or if they had heard anything about this kind of activity at all, and whether they thought it was a real issue. I don't see how that is offensive.
As for thinking that "Southern = racist", I
am Southern, and I hope that I'm not racist ...
