GET A CLUE! Are you so naive as to think that racism is as rampant today as it was back then? If so then open your eyes, come outside and join us in society. If you cannot comprhend that BGLO's were founded DESPITE segregation and racism, then you need not speculate as to why this topic is here. My frat was founded on the priciples of Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for ALL mankind. I think that includesd whites too. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr ( who is a member of my frat) marched with people of ALL races for equality. Ask yourself what's the real reason why some are offended by this topic? Is it the fact that we are discussing some truth? or is it the fact that knowlegde is contagious?
Oh and if I am still offending some of you...SO WHAT!!! IF YOU KNOW ME YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!!!

Dexter, before you start criticizing me, perhaps you should re-read my post.
NEVER did I say that racism doesn't exist in today's society. On the contrary, I willingly admitted that discrimination still occurs -- just not as much as it did in the past. I also noted that BGLO's were founded in a time when racism against blacks was rampant, so please don't try to twist my words.
As for the rest of your post - you just proved my whole point in why I originally did not want to post on this subject. Some people just don't want to hear any opinions that differ from their own, and they get far too upset when a person with a differing view makes some legitimate points. You don't give a damn if you offend someone with your own comments, yet you'd be one of the first to scream discrimination if you thought a white person was acting in a racist manner towards a black person. It's called being two-faced, and it's a trait that a lot of people have, no matter what color they may be.
On a more positive note, I want to say thank you to Professor and sphinxpoet for their posts.
