"i never said once, that your glos should have to let black people in. I do not feel we need to be "represented" in your orgs. Why do we need to be in a "white" greek org. when we have our own?"

The U.S. law makes it so that GLOS & BGLOS cannot discriminate based on color. This enables individuals to make the choices that are right for them. I'm not saying that all black greeks should be in GLOS or that all white greeks should be in BGLOS, all I'm saying is that individuals deserve to choose for themselves because of ethical, moral & legal reasons.

"Keeping our BGOLS pure and our families pure is not unequality."

I agree with the point about families, but not about BLGOS/GLOS. Yes, greek organizations are very much like families but they are also public non-profit organizations which many times receive public funding. Organizations like this cannot be "public" and at the same time be exclusive to only people of a certain color.

"HOW can you tell me what is different for us? YOU do not know shit!"

Well, I guess that means you cannot tell what is different for white people either, because you are not white. So any of your other comparisons between white/black are not valid, because you should have no clue about white people just like you say I should have no clue about blacks. The logic applies both ways.

"What has changed for your people in the last forty years? Alot right! I do not know where you looking at but MAYBE you should open up your eyes so you can SEE!"

Yes, alot has changed. As in my previous statement I still say that from everything I have seen in my (young) life and everywhere I have been, many things are different. But, I'm starting to think that both of us are suffering from the same short-sightedness. Because where you are or have been, things are not very different than 40 years ago, but where I am & have been things are very different.

"so what you should do is go on tell some of the people in your family or you friends family that Hey I have always thought of Blakc people as 100% human why didn't you? Or WHY don't you! I ask you?"

Because I do not know (and never have known) ANYONE who thinks that way.
