The way individual members act and believe is not truly reflective of the D9's membership intake process or the membership as a whole. I know that. You know that. I've typed that several dozen times now it seems. So, how, precisely, am I belittling anyone's organization? How does my opinion make that big of a deal that I am belittling someone?
And I've never said one damn thing about racism not existing, although I'm rather surprised to find the Grand Matron of the Klan on Greekchat, you'd think she'd have better things to do with her time (like die? ok that was uncharitable.). Seriously, the rest of your post has got to be part of a seperate conversation.

I am sorry, but it is unclear to me when you say in the same sentance that an individual member shows bias that does not reflect
their organization's mission.
I am sorry, but the way an individual member behaves does reflect on the entire organization. And for the D9, we are judged accordingly. Just ask any of the D9 members who have colors that resemble notorious gangs and when they are stopped because of DWB... If I have not heard or seen it a dozen times after the Long Beach Step Show...
And to be blunt about it: you said "today's society". What does this mean from my perspective? Because, I think "today's society" is just as EFFed up compared to past societies, like my Sorority sister Mom's who got water cannoned for equality or my Dad's who is an Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. member who was arrested and jailed for protesting at a lunch counter...
Today's society is not that much better and whoever says that chit can go EFF themselves. I don't give a crippa crap.
