White men in NPHC

[L.O.C.K.]

Aiya, this thread has gotten out of hand.

Who cares what race someone is? I've seen people who are not of "X" race care more about causes that help "X" race than poeple of "X" race.

It's about what's in your heart, not whats on your skin. D9 orgs have great missions, and the vision of their Founders, or anyone elses for that matter, was designed for a specific reason. If someone is all about living the 5 Point thrusts (or any org's principles for that matter), isn't that what matters?

After all, if they volunteer their whole life to help education systems that are flawed or grew up advocating for Mental Health improvements (which btw need to be focused on a lot more), that is what is important, right?

I am not trying to say who should or should not be a member of XYZ org. Everyone makes their decisions as to who should be a member for their own personal reasons. However, when we come down to it, our organizations were established to advance certain goals and dreams, and if a person stands for that, and meets the other basic requirements (ie GPA, a student, etc.) that is what should matter...not the color of his/her skin.

I am one of the WASPiest people you will ever meet, yet I am in an Asian American Fraternity and all of my friends are Black/Asian/Latino/a. Just because I was born with White skin doesn't meet I can't strive for things that advance Blacks, Asians, or Latino/as.

If we judge people only on their skin, how are we any better than the KKK or other racist ass groups?
