Based on my logic I shouldn't wish to be a part of this country? Are you nuts!? Dude, I'm very proud to be a part of this country, because African Americans took a large part in building it to what it is now. On top of that, this all came with FREE labor too. You could have kept that comment.

Racist past? Huh? Girl, this stuff is still going on today. Rather it's the society we live in or not, judging anyone based on skin color alone is wrong and there's no excuse for that. It's just flat out wrong.
Also, there are still chapters within the NPC and IFC that to this very day have not initiated a black student. So it's still very much present. Again, I wouldn't be able to stop my children from joining outside of the NPHC umbrella group, but if they did, I would be very concerned for their safety and well being. I'm glad African American fraternities and sororities were founded, because if they weren't, then I wouldn't be greek at all, because I wouldn't be a part of an organization that was founded on racist beliefs. We helped in the process of building this country, so I'm proud to be a part of that. We didn't build your glos, we were and still are at some colleges across the country rejected from them for being black.


I think the best thing is for you and I to just agree to disagree.
