Well, the poster found out what she wanted and saw that she did not want to be here?
Can anyone blame Her?
Thanks for helping someone asking a question.

Right. Because no matter what anyone asks we should always say "GREAT!!!!! I'm sure it will work out wonderfully!!!!" She asked a question and got an honest answer from people with experience in the subject. Stop trying to turn everything into something it's not.

FWIW, the poster hasn't logged on since October 29, the day she registered and started this thread, so no one really should assume that she was turned off by the responses to this thread.

In my sociology class, we read the biography of Assata Shakur, and this is her take on the usage of 'k' instead of 'c'. She used that commonly, for a lot of things [kourt for court, afrikan, etc]. What we were informed is that the use of the k indicates a racism or biased system. For example: she uses kourt instead of court to denote the system in which she was tried, because it was racially slanted against her. Apparently the k is used because of the KKK.
In the same light, an "afrikan" according to Assata is a black person who has "sold out" to the white-centered society.
I have no idea if there are other meanings or whatever, so please don't jump down my throat if I'm wrong!

That reminds me...I learned of a Greek organization (I don't think it's NPHC) whose name is "Krimson Kourts".

It's (one of the) the "sweetheart" auxiliary for Kappa Alpha Psi. I don't think it's official or anything, though.

She's certainly an interesting figure, and yes, it is definitely HER take on it, not everyone's. I'll go back and clarify that
