At least in the South when people don't like you/don't want you, there's no hemming and hawing. You know it, you know how to deal with it (usually by laughing at them) and then you move on.

True... I wish sometimes people would just let me know that they don't like me because I'm black instead of smiling in my face like they are my friends and talk about me behind my back...
I really hate it when it becomes the North vs. the South discussion too. There are A LOT of places I seriously won't go to that are in Michigan(day time or night time)! Actually I can count on one hand how many cities I would even feel comfortable living within Michigan. There is a lot of improve ment that needs to be done EVERYWHERE in America.
Just a question... i'm sure the young lady who was admitted in Gamma Phi Beta at UA is welcomed... however... I wonder how "welcomed" other minorities (not just black) would feel if the number minorities who came out to rush went from one or two to twenty or thirty....
