I know this is going to be thrown right back at me because "it's a different situation!*!*!*!". But why? I think a white person would be able to see something in an HBGLO...philanthopy, solid brotherhood, just an overall nice group of guys, etc. as a black could see in Pike.
I wouldnt say its a different situation totally. I feel there should be questions if its a black joining a historically white or a white joining a historically black...they dont have to turned away due to race but i feel they should be evaluated and made aware that even if you make it there will be people who dont accept you... are you prepared for that. If they say yes and mean it then give them the opportunity if they fit the same criteria as everyone else.
