If you believe you need help relating to people of other cultures or backgrounds, you should seek professional help. Not from IHQ, but from a counselor or psychologist. The rest of us are doing fine. The way to relate to people is one person at a time. Sure, brothers of different racial or ethnic backgrounds have had different experiences in getting to where they are. That's what maks us unique. It's what makes the world interesting. Get to know people as people, and not as part of a racial stereotype.
If a brother comes out of the closet, you treat him as a brother. To do anything different would be to forsake the values of our fraternity. "Every Man a Man," for God's sake.
So stop preaching to us about everything we're doing wrong. Get help with your problem and stop trying to project it onto the rest of us.
