Meeting Brothers in random places

[naraht]

I have met a couple of people whose skin color really was White and Black. One of my little brothers at Kappa is an albino and I had the change to meet DC Police Chief (at the time) Isaac Fulwood once. Other than those two, most people I've met have skin some shade of brown.

Negro (as a noun or adjective), I used to say that as long as the United Negro College Fund used it, I wouldn't see anything wrong with it, but I think they've changed to College Fund/UNCF. My eighty year old neighbor still uses it, and his girlfriend (who is African-American and about 60) doesn't have a problem with it.

Black is an adjective as far as I'm concerned. It's handy but still when you get to people who skin that is light mocha, you start wondering. Though in this country it still seems that we are at the one drop method of determining it.

Having said all that, seeing a brand of Alpha Phi Omega would *completely* freak me out. I have enough problem imagining getting an Omega (for an Omega Psi Phi) clear with scar tissue, I have no idea on how much of the arm you would have to cover for that...
