I checked, and It was the f8whatever person who called me racist. I apologize, I was mistaken. You did however refer to my "stupidity" which I think you'd find to be quite inaccurate. Now, I still don't think NPHC groups put emphasis on the same things. Like I said previously, my greek life was almost to the level of cotillion...basically a display of how to be a professional adult in southern high society. Now, I'm sure the NPHC groups place an emphasis on being successful, but I don't imagine they place emphasis on how to act and live in southern high and professional society. I'm not sure of another way to explain this...alright, I'll try, and try without being offensive. In the circles I and others like me grow up and eventually seek careers in, class is of the utmost importance. Thus, some things in black culture aren't exactly desired in such circles. The idea of having a party entitled something along the lines of "Crunkfest" would be absolutely destroyed by our alumni, as would something like a step show. I realize everyone's culture is different, but what is perfectly acceptable in some may be completely unacceptable in others. I imagine these comments will provide for more claims of racism and ignorance from some on here, but note that I am merely trying to explain.
