I was referring to the pictures on the website showing 'nooses', people smiling in their outfits and etc.....that's what I meant about people thinking such was 'cute'. The people in those pictures seemed/looked as though they were having a fabulous time. I didn't see anyone in those pictures that look like, 'what the heck is this...this is sooo wrong!' That's all I was saying.
I understand what you are saying...not all WGLOs are not like that. But that's the same way on this board. All BGLO are not saying this and only certain members of these groups have these views. Just like with WGLO The people on these boards don't even represent 1% of each organization. But, as previously stated, I guess the problem is that its being discussed on a
public forum.
And maybe in your organization its never discussed...but obviously in some WGLOs this is an issue from these most recent incidents.
I personally don't see a problem with this topic. Even if this topic wasn't posted, some members are BGLOs (not wanting non-AAs) and WGLOs (not wanting non-whites/blacks)would feel this same way. So what difference does it make if we discuss it. Closing down a thread is not going to change anyone's feeling.....maybe it will make some more comfortable. Why? I don't know......

I don't think the thread should be closed either, we are all adults here right? I just don't like to see the personal attacks that everyone throws out when it gets heated, i mean, hell if we all keep it kewl, we could express all our views, all learn something, i know i can because i don't know much about bglo's, and i'd like to learn a little, for reference and some kind of understanding.
About the cute thing, yea, it's a sick situation, sadly, shit like that does still happen, maybe all those people involved were ingnorant sob's or they thought they were "fitting in" or something or other.
True, not even 1% of our orgs are represented here, but for some people, that is al lthat it takes, that one person, that one time, that one thing for a person to form stereotypes, form racism, or form some other kind of negative view toward that group of people. But like I said, I would like to think of the many of us as better educated in a situation like that..ya know?
