Yeah, except I've never met a wealthy African-American. You forget...the South is still poor. When there is wealth it's still in the hands of the whites. Which means we still co-mingle with the same. I think it's been said on here before that if an African-American were to have the same interests come from an old-line family and meet the standards applied to everyone else, we wouldn't hesitate at giving him a bid. This is not affirmative action. We don't give out bids to less qualified to meet some sort of race quota. Goddamn. However, since we only have one or two black guys come through rush every year, it's fairly unlikely to meet a quota if we were to have one.
Don't play the race card every time you get a chance, thanks. It gets old, especially when someone as poorly informed as you does it.

I know.
Adam Smith did it fairly eloquently. Though it is always interesting to read the early socialists like Fourier, but the flaws are inherent.
Capitalism is a little bit too high of thinking for you, so let's stay on the topic at hand.

Excellent argument! You're truly a genius in logic!
Spend less time pondering the flaws in capitalism and more time pondering the flaws in your own families work ethic.

You truly protest too much. Spend less time making assumptions of others' standing and always needing to position yourself against others.
You might even find that you (better known as: your family) aren't as well off as you always thought you are.

Certainly you see the irony here, right?

Did you finally affiliate with the Kappa Sigma chapter at Arkansas? By your own admission, you weren't affiliated with them last year; even saying that you refused to affiliate with them. So who are you voting on for bids?

Thanks for quoting that so I could actually read that post.
My post that he quoted went completely over his head. That's interesting yet not surprising.
