Well then I have to say that the people who PM'd you are COWARDS. If they dont have the strength of their convictions to actually come on this board and discuss this instead of hiding behind you - who I absolutely respect for saying something, even if I don't agree with what you said- then they are NOT EVEN WORTH OUR CONTEMPLATION. Straight up.
And I think that Blackwatch answered you as well as can be. Our founders intended for us to serve the black community FIRST. If a white person is down with that purpose I have no problems - I had a hand in making a "white" Soror on our yard as a matter of fact. But BGLO's have to ALWAYS keep that in mind so it is a valid question to ask.
We want people in our org's who are about service, not about stepping or calling, or social activities. We need to know that a potential Soror or Frater understands our priorities. Even I on some levels wonder if white people can POSSIBLY comprehend it- that to be pro-black is not to be anti-white, that to want our people to advance must be our first priority because we have come so far and have so much farther to go.
Well I have to pat you on the back for challenging assumptions and I hope that you have some understanding of why they are raised.
