This actually brings tears to my eyes...Some of you seem surprised that occurences that like continue to happen today...But, as a student at a large PWU, the first thing I thought was "It figures"...(shaking my head)...However, what did actually surprise me is that they chose to mock a BGLO, pictures and all--as if they're not afraind of retaliation by other Blacks on campus...It's really sad--events like these occur every-so-often on PWCs every-so-often, especially since the number of Blacks on these types of campus is usually very low in comparison to the amount of whites...I also think another reason why these things continue to occur is b/c the schools allow them to...

I believe they--the members of that particular chapter that took part in the party--OWE the entire NPHC a public apology...They also need their chapter revoked (or at least suspended) from that particular campus...Schools should think about establishing a "Diversity Requirement, like they have at some PWU's (where each student has to take at least one class on an ethnic or racial group different from their own)...But, then again, I also think that "Sensitivity" and/or "Diversity" training, in my opinion, will not cut it, simply b/c you can't teach someone anything if their mind s not open to receive the information...


What is also sad is that there may be members of that chapter that did not participate in the party--yet they get "BRANDED" as "RACISTS" also...We actually have these Fratenities on our campus, and I have NEVER heard about them being involved in anything like this...The entire National Fraternities will now be looked upon badly by many people, and it gives Blacks another reason, as my Mother always said, to "Never Trust Them"...

I try to believe that my mother is wrong--that there are many out there that we can trust--but events like this make me wonder...
