I am going out on limb here and playing the "yurugu's" advocate.

Rainman and Love_Spell_6--you two would make a beautiful couple with pretty chilluns... Y'all should hook up...

Anyhow, maybe you guys are right. Some of what outsiders see is not exactly what really exists in some hellified chapter meetings. And what we present to the outside community in your respective communities could be improved.

And the overall generalize founding of each of the NPHC organizations should not be thrown out like baby with the bath water just because there is not something in the African American community not being addressed. And yes, maybe another black greek organization could fulfill those needs... Who knows, it may work wonders.

And other organizations should have the right to exist to their leisure. And it is the young people that see on their respective campuses that recognizes the perceived discord among the NPHC organizations. So it would be easier to form a new group rather than entering into some mess...

And at the same time, some folks just have not given NPHC organizations there due chance to their final vows and precepts they took during rituals or seriously considered what it would take to be a fully participating member... Basically, nothing was "broken down" to them. So they lash out and hurt those that did see or didn't see their true selves. Then these folks hang on for dear life proving to those they are worthy members or say all out forget it, I'm inactive!!!

And I also think that one cannot complain when they do nothing about it to implement change... If you plan to fail, you fail to plan and you must freely give up your life so that you may live it... So on and so for... And render unto Caesar what is his...

But we are a part of a larger society where its initial intent was to destroy our whole being. That we had to make some sembelences [sp?] to the mainstream society culture. Secret societies were design to implement an underground organization and communication plan of action. To send messages over to the other side when questions were not asked at a time of war... To reinvigorate a positivity among its people and personhood... Most of the NPHC organizations founded before 1930 were the first line of defense before the KKK came in burning down whole African American communities... If it had not been for a few members in organizations to stand up to these lunatics, many poor, impoverished African American communities would be dead due to genocide... Much of like is what happened in Rwanda and what is happening in Dafur...

However, what the young folks are telling our esteemed organizations that our time has passed. Out with the old and in with the new... But I just don't accept that...

I see young teen girls that sorely need an upliftment in self-esteem and education that I cannot quit my commitment to them but through Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Don't you know the United State government is coming down hard on all organizations and their legitamacy based on Homeland Security... These new African American organizations will be the first to go without our help... Without the vision of those long ago in the NAACP, National Urban League, NPHC and many other older organizations--these younger ones would not exist...

Regardless of the history between the founding of the NAACP, NUL versus the Back to African Movement, it still remains--who has final longevity? Especially in times like these?

Then what right do you have to bring us down?
