No one has said race isn't a "problem" on college campuses or elsewhere. The issue is NPC membership selection, and I guess NPHC membership selection, too.
Maybe I can simplify it further:
Race in membership selection - on topic.
Racially insensitive actions by GLOs - not on topic.

Those incidents also show how a tone can be set on a campus that would discourage black women from even trying to be a part of those groups. Furthermore, if members of these groups participate in racist activities, do ou really think they would then vote in someone black? Those activities demonstrate a certain mindset...one that isn't very accepting of blacks.
