But there are also individual members who may/do hold racist views, and because the non-racist members don't push their position and insist on showing good leadership, the racists are more influential than they ought to be.
I espoused no such racism as I am hardly racist. I have repeated this often, but it falls on deaf ears.

I think accused racist Ron Paul speaks correctly on racism when he says,

"Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist. The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence, not skin color, gender, or ethnicity."

Sorry kids, you're looking for racists everywhere, but not one to be found here.

The funny thing is, because I have not espoused racism but yet some accuse me of it, it's more an assumption because I am Southern I am racist, which would be a terrible prejudice to be had.

Again, your reading comprehension is poor. I have said repeatedly that if a sorority with great tradition and great connections pledged a minority woman it would not be an issue that would cause them to fall off the edge towards losing their charter because they are so well founded with tradition and connections. When a sorority is previously shunned and then adds one more straw to the camels back, that's when it slides into depths. Please read before you speak instead of making accusations.
