...km433,
Your points are rational but if you think about it, race relations in America are such that they don't give rise to trusting in one another. Whether people admit it or not we all have some bias toward others. Race is not as much about rationale as it is emotion. That is also true for greek organizations. Especially BGLO's, if you see how deep rooted they are in our community, they are like parents or children. You may appreciate someone else wanting to help your child but you perceive them as an outsider, you don't think that they know what is best for your child.
You have to realize we are not taking about some fairytale land this is America and no amount of "heal the world" will change feelings if people don't want their feelings changed. If may not be right but that is just how many people feel.
