Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity was founded as a direct result of black students in early 20th century Indiana being denied access to college organizations. All of the organizations that are predominantly black choose/chose to allow anyone regardless or race or creed to join the org. Does it mean that each organization gets it right 100% of the time. Of course not however it should be highlighted why so called BGLO's are more likely to assimilate into their own culture due to the historical context of having to fend for themselves on predominantly white campuses. Some of our generation of white students are just getting their first crack at interacting with black people.
Poor souls have been fed more negative images than positives. Most blacks have recieved mixed reviews as well but are taught to "deal" with in leiu of a piss poor explanation of it being the way things are and have always been. So that in a nutshell explains the natural explanation of why so called WGLO's and BGLO's don't work together. There is very little history. We have a more open society than other generations and we still miss the mark in social advancement. So this is a reflection on all of us highlighting our inabilities to communicate and work together which is the common theme for all of our orgs being in existence in the first place.
