An article on what happened.
See, I don't deny that racism not only existed within my organization, but within the members who ran it. However, you can't only look at that while ignoring the fact that it was members who changed it. I'm not going to live in guilt over what my predecessors did, I'm going to work to make my sorority better. But that doesn't matter to you, because all you care about is that a handful of women in the late 1800s were (likely) racist. DUH. Living in the past is a waste of time. I don't choose not to associate with people who's ancestors were racist, I choose not to associate with people who are racist. There's a huge difference and that's the one I'm calling you out on in these threads.
Oh yeah, I've heard of that too. I heard D9 members being invited to IFC/NPC events and didn't show. That's nothing new to me.
I don't know who the joker was in the video, and you don't either. Rather he was a trainer or not, doesn't make a difference. The way I saw it was they seemed to have used this joker to make them look more hip. He looked like a damn fool.

Who made him participate? It's his own choice. He's just as likely to have enjoyed coaching/helping them out.
(Again, I'm not saying that KKG is oh so cool, just that you're comparing little leaguers to the Major Leagues and you're acting all up your ass about it. )[/quote]
Drolefille thanks for that, and I see your point. I also respect you and appreciate you, but this is an example I copied from another poster that I can't just let go. History is history, but it's still happening. Why is color (especially black) such a big issue with your people?
Ole Miss Suspends Frat for One Year

JACKSON, Miss. — A University of Mississippi fraternity has been suspended for a year after a black student said he was the victim of a racial slur and a physical assault at a party, school officials said Friday.
Freshman Jeremiah Taylor, 18, said he was pushed down the stairs while attending a Delta Kappa Epsilon party Aug. 22 on the Oxford campus, according to school officials. The student newspaper, The Daily Mississippian, reported Friday on its Web site that Taylor said he was called the N-word at the party.
Taylor, of Southaven, filed a complaint on Aug. 24 with the Dean of Students' office, said Jeffrey Alford, Associate Vice Chancellor for university relations at Ole Miss.
Alford said the party got out of hand and people were asked to leave. Taylor told Mississippi Public Broadcasting in a Sept. 10 radio report that he was on his way downstairs, when "a guy in an orange shirt threw a beer can at me and hit me in my left shoulder." Then others shoved him down the stairs, he said.
Ole Miss officials said Friday the school's judicial council had found the historically white fraternity guilty of violations of harassment, assault, disorderly conduct, possession of alcohol and hosting an unauthorized party.
Alford said the fraternity was also fined $1,000, which will be used to fund an alcohol and drug education program; its members were required to perform 20 hours of community service and attend a racial sensitivity program. Members can continue to live at the residence, but they cannot recruit or socialize, he said.
The newspaper reported this is the first strike against the fraternity in the school's two-strike alcohol policy.
When asked by The Associated Press if this was the first time Ole Miss had suspended a fraternity for racial slurs and harassment, Alford said, "I don't know. It certainly is the first time in recent memory."
He said that all Ole Miss freshmen take a creed that says "I believe in respect for the dignity of each person."
