As far as hatred, I don't recall anyone of accusing any organization (specifically Alpha Phi Alpha) of promoting hatred. I did, however, accuse the members of such groups of tolerating hatred.
As a human being, when I see that kind of silence, I will call it out. I've been vocal on GC when I've seen it from all ethnic backgrounds, and will continue to be so.
There are still many apologies owed from all those who were dismissive of PHAShriner. Attempting to diminish his hatred and racism diminishes all of us, and the collective stated ideals of those organizations that aspire to higher ideals.
Greeks can be united when we all attempt to live up to our stated ideals. It applies to all of us, and it was not just NPHC members who were offensive in this recent online melee. The "Barbarians" thread should have been shut down, but lets not pretend that this was the opening salvo. It wasn't even close. Until just one person who posted in one of PHAShriners threads displays the human decency to denounce him, in my eyes, the common ground that I thought existed was just an illusion.

who said anything about being silent? do you know whether or not PMs between the alphas were sent out? don't be so sure that because it wasn't done publicly, that it wasn't done at all. you're quick to assume that they didn't do anything about it because there wasn't a post blasting him in front of everyone. one of the aspects of brotherhood is to never air out family business. i've said things on this site that bruhs weren't particularly keen on, and best believe there was a PM in my inbox the next day. don't be so quick to assume that there was silence in anyway. just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it wasnt there.
and in regards to people posting in their thoughts in a thread specifically meant for BGLO members, don't be so nosy or so offended when your opinions don't mater. the issues discussed don't relate nor do they concern you. if they did, do any of you people honestly think that they would have been specific asking BGLO members that question? that's like jumping in family business when it's not your family. how utterly ridiculous is that?
and if none of you people can handle someone on this site thinking that your opinion holds no water, i urge you all to grow a pair of nuts and grow your sensitive asses up.
