Controversy....(singing Prince's song)...

Personally, I don't have a problem with either...as long as you pay your dues and stay active..... If I run into a white (or non-AA) or homosexual soror....I'll greet her just the same as my AA sorors. Now I can't say I wouldn't wonder why she chose such (and probably would ask her if we became friends), but hey...I'd realize she's a soror and we can hang....

One thing I must say is that...yes, to some non-AA's, this thread may seem racist. However, it is a lot of WGLO that wouldn't want AA in their organizations. I guess because this is a public forum, people think BGLOs shouldn't discuss this (Soror AKA2d -- its not politically correct -- smile). But what message do you think was sent to AAs by the WGLOs who mocked the Omegas? (as I recalled, it was a sorority and two fraternities at that party. And from the pictures everyone thought it was very cute and got a good laugh)? To me, it said that we don't want black people in our orgs. What message was sent to AA young women when the WGLO sorority didn't select the AA girl because other WGLO fraternities and sororities wouldn't want to have parties with them (at least that's what the article said)? To me, that says...some white people don't want us in their stuff?

My point is simple....in WGLO you have people who have the very same viewpoint. And some will base their views on their history and etc. just as my fellow BGLO sisters and brothers have done here. Basically, you will find people in both groups...WGLOs and BGLOs who don't want people of other races in their organizations. This is their personal opinion. Not the opinion of the entire organziation!!! And people have right to their own opinion. I think the problem here (why people think they are being bashed or etc.) is that people are trying to convince others that they are wrong or sway their opinions! And its not working.......

Just my .08 cent.....Continue on.

BTW....Racism still runs rampant in this country...it's just not as VISIBLE!! I know I experience it all the time....even if its just someone clinching their purse in the elevator, a white store clerk looking funny when you pay with a credit card, or simply a waiter adding in a tip to my charge because you know 'black folk don't tip'.....its all the same. And I have my JD, CPA and MBA and this still happens sometimes....So yes, its very alive!!!!! It may not be blantant, but it is living and breathing.....
