ohhhhhhh lawd! Ldawg sweetie have you ever stopped to think for a moment that it was white people who more than likely coined the actual term BGLO and it was coined so that one would not get them BGLOS mixed up with the GLOs. Today it is not used as a racist title it is still used to distinguish between the two. They are both under different councils hence the NPC and the NPHC all this seperation came about at the hands of the White people that did not want to affiliate with the Blacks. You might as well refer to the GLOS as WGLOS because that is what they are. Whether it is said or not. There are a difference between the two that is obvious. GLOS are never really addressed as WGLOs because white people never feel like they need to be the ones to actually put the name of their race in front of their orgs because they run almost everything. Its the same with our HBCUS. They made a big deal about those so they had to add that "historically" part to the phrase now. Still the schools are mostly Black. Michigan state or Yale University need not call themselves HWCUS because that is evident and always have been. So for you to now say that BGLOS should not think of themselves as so is petty ans selfish. It is not much in this world that my people do and are allowed to tkae the credit for. So we take pride in anything that is/was Black ran and owned. So there is no way we should take our name off of it whether it be the greek orgs. or the colleges. If it bothers a white person that they are callec BGLOS then I would advise them not to join. If it bothers a Black person that glos ar mostly white then I advise them not to join.
