Depositions Underway In AKA Drowning Lawsuit

[AKA_Monet]

Sweetie,

I think the issue from these "old heads" is not that Back in MY day, we did this, that and the other... But, at least for me, before I became a member, of how I admired the tenacity and academic achievements of my now, "sorors". Yes, all of us ol' skool members may have had to so some dumb-a$$ed chit, to be a part of something, but, in my case, it was NEVER doing crazy things as what was done to these young ladies... Why, because, my LINE was responsible for ME as I was responsible for my linesister. And if we call ourselves Christians and/or "children of God", then "sistahs, just don't let sistahs" be taken down like that...

With that, there was only 2 young ladies, that overwhelmingly succumbed to the pressure of belonging. And insecurities abound on everyone's part, the fact STILL remains, if you walk DIVINELY, then there AIN'T NO REASON to take anotha brotha or sistah down... NO AMOUNT of pledging (ol' skool or hazin') is gonna make that person BE the functional, dues paying, active member that they dedicated his/her life to be...

And THAT'S why the NPHC D9 made the anti-hazing stance...

The pubilicity of this incident AIN'T about colors and how many letters one can put on a jacket... It's a testament of what our core beliefs and the ideals we serve in each of our own BGLOs. What's good about this topic on another board is the cameraderie of all of us BGLO's share together... And each of us are pretty much saying the same thing--so the thinking gots be right...

My point is, WAAAAYYY back in the day, my ancestors were all slaves, it didn't matter if one came from Massa Washington's or Massa Jefferson's Plantations--my ancestors were STILL out in the field... And when Massa sold us off to another plantation, the slaves that one encounted may have had some bitterness at first, but WE STILL CAME TOGETHER TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT. Even if summa us ran, most of us helped out.

What these perpatrators did is no more than being bought and paid for "bounty "Aint Jemima's" that turned unsuspecting runaways to be re-enslaved back on Massa's plantation... AND THAT'S THE MENTALITY ALL OF US NEED TO WORK OURSELVES GETTING AWAY FROM, TRULY!!! That's my opinion...
