I will PM you with my response. I am beyond bored with this thread, now.

Who ultimately decides when a person has been "true" to himself or herself? Is there a certain... quota (for lack of a better word) that one has to fill before it is decided that a person is being "true"? Isn't it possible that there are myriad versions of the truth? Is there a standard level of awareness? Is that level based on an American standard? I'm an American living in Canada, and I've learned that Canadian "Blackness" is a bit different from American "Blackness". Which is more authentic?
If I hadn't joined an NPHC organization, would my opinions be more suspect? The letters I wear across my chest and the Zeta light in my heart (or the Delta light in yours) isn't a fair representation of who a person is. For all you know, I could be singlehandedly trying to overturn all affirmative action legislation and any social programs set aside to serve minority communities -- I'm not, but my Greek affiliation is not and should not be used to judge my level of committment to Black communities.
And yes, ChaosDST - I have read all of your posts in this thread. I only chose to comment on something that stuck out at me.
