Thank you to all for your comments. I have not received any personal messages requesting cincture of this topic. Personally, I think the conversation is healthy. I do not specifically see an attack on or from any particular group or individual. In fact, I think it is ok for folk to say that they don't care to have whites, blacks, gays, etc. in their organizations. However, we must keep sight that there is a larger picture. The larger picture is that most members on GC do not represent the governing board of our organizations. We all know that each organization has mandates that don't allow us to practice any form of discrimination as it relates to membership. To my Frat Brothers, this type of discussion is a perfect example of how individuals gain perceptions of the mindset of our brotherhood. When you publicly post that you won't vote for gays, whites etc. it sends a message to others that view the post that we discriminate. In addition, as someone suggested, all hell would break loose if the White organizations said they would not accept Blacks for membership. I suggest that we be mindful that every Black person does not support the betterment of our people and many White folk have supported the development of Blacks.
