Ahh...all of the old players are back...me, neicy, Honeykiss, Tom, KSig, PM_Mama....
Time for Prejudism part II.
Well Tom, you asked for drama, now look! You are up to your ears in it. Well, I would certainly be remiss if I didn't join in!
Neicy I am positive you can make a point without telling someone to read, saying something about a Ms. Cleo kit, and name-calling. Please prove me right. You have some valid points, but you are never going to get anyone to see them if every post is formatted this way.
As for the Alabama sorority racial demographic argument...uh...weak. Whoa, they have enough "BI-RACIAL" girls in their orgs to count on one hand! Now THAT is progress, baby!
Whether or not AL is the most racist state or whatever, that is pretty sad.
Tom...I agree with most, your post was pretty uncalled for. Neicy is not RACIST because her views are contrary to yours. She has had different life experiences than you have had or than anyone else on GC has had. If she spent 2 years in AL and those two years were marred by racial incidents, then neicy will be of the opinion that AL is racist. If bama_alumna has been there 25 years and has not experienced much racism then her opinion will differ. Who is correct? BOTH.
PM_Mama neicy is not blaming others for EVERYTHING. She is rightfully placing the responsibility for the pervasive racism that exists today on this country's founders and legacies. Don't make an umbrella statement without trying to understand exactly what someone is trying to say. Back to the prejudism thread, everyone was arguing about why oppression occurs and why racism is still prevalent today. I attribute it to the power structure that is inherent in America. Do I blame that power structure if I get a run in my pantyhose or flunk a pop-quiz? No. But I would blame it if I was rejected from a sorority because my skin was a few shades darker.
No, I was not at Alabama nor do I know M. Twilley, so she could, in fact, be a girl with a bad rep. However, I would challenge anyone, especially you, bama_alumna, to say that that same description could not apply to even one girl in your own chapter.
