Although I have a personal problem with those African Americans that decide to obviously reject their own and join organizations where I have seen "XYZ" fraternity and White Race on their t-shirts, I really don't have any kinda time to educate Black people on their concept of Asil, because, out here in SoCali, I'm worried about how I am going to pay for my light bill  --FOR REAL!!! But just like I said, it's my personal problem and I need to work it out on my own...
Some folks cain't see for lookin'!!! In fact when I discuss similar issues with "the most "vile" perpatrators of all that is racist--The White Males--for some reason they agree with me  ... And I'm talkin' bout the kind that call US out our names!!!  Not the kindler and gentler--liberals... And for some reason I can make friends with these guys who are the Kard Karryin' Kind ... And it's usually when I'm talkin' 'bout Afrikans in amerikkklan, the utamawazo, the "Auset Papers" and sovereignty in the same sentances ... It don't make no kinna sense!!! It's irony at it's best...
But skeriously, I suspect you go to a school that is predominently caucasian--that is how you rushed your sorority... If your school is public, that means anybody can attend if they fulfill the requirements. So you basically get anyone attending. Most Black folks going to a public university come from a family background of "the first to GO TO College"... Since, folks come with their own cultural mores and family values when they are from the "ghetto" and see you--the assimilated object of the oppressors (kidnappers)--then, how can you expect them to EVER be nice to you?!?!? Especially when you are inadvertantly belittling their upbringing? Hell, they already get it from the police officers that just killed their friend!!! Why the HELL should they hear it from you, too? And don't tell me you have never said to a Black Man, "If only you just got off your butt and worked..." Because I know you have!!!

OK, some of your post is just too HUH for words. But the parts that I could understand and decipher:
The college I went to was not predominatly anything. It was a very mixed campus. I joined a "WGLO" because I always wanted to, since HS. Back in HS, my friends and I talked about going thru recruitment and couldn't wait. So, what we all talked about we all wanted. Simple as that...
As for the comment to a black man, I haven't said that...
