No.

I've never been enslaved, so that term would be inappropriate.

The majority of the NIC and NPC organizations are predominately AND historically white, though.

To AlphaFrog's credit, Dubai's post was random and her reference to historically white sororities was true but she could've said "NPC" for the topic. At the same time, we could be typing about apples and orange juice and NPHC orgs would still often be called "historically Black sororities and fraternities" and most people would not care either way.

I know what she was trying to say. "African Americans" could be historically enslaved. "knight_shadow" cannot.
