It goes both ways. Many NPHCers have unfounded opinions of NPC and IFCers.

LOL...uh...okay.

But on the flip side, there are some "intelligent and not-so-intelligent hoodlums" in every organization. Not MOST but ENOUGH.

Out of hundreds of thousands of members at the undergraduate and graduate level, out of the doctors and lawyers and educators and leaders--you're prepared to say that MOST act as a STREET gang? A STREET gang? Do you know what that entails and implies?

I also said that was based only on MY experiences and that of my friends that I have discussed this with. Even if it is not true, the image most certainly is, and image is a big part in how people percieve our orgs.

Shortfuse, for the my sake, please read what I said before before trying to call me out. NPHC groups don't interest me. My reputation as a racist, however, does. So therefore, I will continue to respond to anyone referring to me. I didn't think that would be so difficult to understand...

Now did someone actually just say AmeriKKKan institutions? Thats the kinda shit that probably makes IFC people view some in NPHC's badly.

See how easily upset you were by that statement

AmeriKKKan institutions?

. Thats how I and members of the NPHC organizations feel when you mentioned your limited interactions/research into those organizations.

I also said that was based only on MY experiences and that of my friends that I have discussed this with. Even if it is not true, the image most certainly is, and image is a big part in how people percieve our orgs.

This is sad...so you are telling me that because of a few experiences, you have generalized your opinion to include a majority of NPHC members? Many, most, some...when speaking numbers, its hard to say who is and who isn't!

That's like saying ALL black people or MOST black people are poor and we KNOW that's not true...or all white people are racist and we know that isn't true! I'm sorry but a FEW ignorant/bad ones does not corrupt the entire bunch.

Well for the record, that second quote I don't think was mine so I won't respond to it. Now as for the AmeriKKKan institutions, I'm really not very upset, but rather dumbfounded by such a moronic statement. You are also under the mistaken impression than I would be sensitive to a comment like "see how that makes you feel, thats how other people feel when ______." This is becoming similar to the whole "you shouldnt fly the confederate flag because it is offensive" thing.

For what it's worth, the poster who said "AmeriKKKan institutions" turned out to be a perp and has been gone from GC for a while.

(since this thread is already way off topic....)

I typed "AmeriKKKan institutions" and it fits the context of the discussion. Some GC posters hate it when I type "AmeriKKKan institutions" or "KKKountry" but they can just ignore my posts when I'm discussing the exclusionary tactics of AmeriKKKa.

Why would anyone view the NPHC badly because I, as a patriotic individual, type AmeriKKKan? I actually adopted that spelling many years ago from a white colleague of mine who used it when discussing antagonistic race relations in this great KKKountry. I guess those IFC members you typed about should view socially conscious whites badly too then.

Yeah so I hope this is a learning experience for you.
