PrettyGyrl,
First of all, I am NOT greek, and I may not agree with everything you post, I do understand. I am older than many of these college women who post and have been in the corporate world and a leader in my community for some time now (in the South). I do tend to question the motives of non-whites who join predominately black orgs (greek and other orgs). To those "whites" who are truly sincere and are willing to fight on the front line along with me (in public as well as privately) fine. Too many times (where I'm from), whites will say they are "down for the cause" but when it comes time to go against other whites beliefs they back down. I too get sick of the "I have black friends or My neighbor is black" speech. The time is to put up or shut up. I guess being born and raised in the deep south has had an affect on me and how I view topics such as this.
I Like your fighting and realistic spirit. If you need a job, come work for me. I would love to have you. I have also heard Greeks in my area express similar feelings.
P.S. That Is the one good thing about our country, it is a free country and you are entitled to your opinions and you have freedom of speech as a right of being born in this country.
Much Love & Peace.
