Speaking of fruits and nuts....
The actions you describe are NOT sanctioned by the governing bodies of any NPHC organizations. The actions you describe rarely if ever take place on college campuses today - if they DO take place, they're part of 'probate' shows, displays of organizational pride that take place
AFTER a person has become a fully initiated member of an NPHC fraternity or sorority. Did you know that
in no way, shape, or form are we required to be branded? Did you know that for a lot of us who are NPHC members, we express an extreme distaste over the practice?
If you're the "educator" you claim to be.. how can you not know this? How can you not know that such displays ARE NOT SANCTIONED? How can you not know that some NPHC organizations HAVE been removed from campuses because "lines", are discouraged? If you're
really an educator, how can you not know the origins of 'step shows' and how we trace our history of that display back to West and South African 'boot dancing'?
Most importantly,
how can you not see that mimicing the lynching of an African American person while dressed as a member of the KKK is a FAR more serious offense than marching 'in line' or dressing alike?
I think I have my answer.
