Less popular sororities

This includes any "Traditional", "Top Tier", "Old Row", "Good Ole Boy", "SEC", "Southern", "Conservative", "My Daddy has more money than your Daddy" chapter. Cause any good fraternity man knows you have to find favor with the sorority sisters if you want to get to the girl.



Mr. Walk: For your education, this ^^^ is Miss Knowles.

Yeah because she's not too black to offend the mainstream but black enough so they can say "we aren't bigots...we love that sorority with that black member."

Here again, this is true.

However, I bet dollars to donuts that any chapter that pledges a women with such stunning looks would be hard pressed to be shunned by the fraternities. Regardless of her pigment.

The less Hollywood-ized version of her looks a lot different but, using the naturally beautiful women I know in real life, I see your point.

I don't know if the straight up racism that EW is espousing is actually that common. Even the most traditional, conservative, old south chapter has members (and I actually think a majority of members) who would be disgusted by the assertion that because a group includes a minority member that the group isn't to be associated with socially.

But there are also individual members who may/do hold racist views, and because the non-racist members don't push their position and insist on showing good leadership, the racists are more influential than they ought to be.

It isn't. The covert form is a lot more common.

Plus, EW is probably unlikely to say these things in real life around people who he knows doesn't hold these views. He knows social cues just like almost everyone else does, which is why all -isms have mostly transformed from the "Archie Bunker types" to something less obvious.


I agree 100% with your post.

I espoused no such racism as I am hardly racist. I have repeated this often, but it falls on deaf ears.

I think accused racist Ron Paul speaks correctly on racism when he says,

"Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism. Their obsession with racial group identity is inherently racist. The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence, not skin color, gender, or ethnicity."

Sorry kids, you're looking for racists everywhere, but not one to be found here.

The funny thing is, because I have not espoused racism but yet some accuse me of it, it's more an assumption because I am Southern I am racist, which would be a terrible prejudice to be had.

I asked you if the sorority that pledged the minority woman from the wealthy background got shunned. You said "yes." The end.

Again, your reading comprehension is poor. I have said repeatedly that if a sorority with great tradition and great connections pledged a minority woman it would not be an issue that would cause them to fall off the edge towards losing their charter because they are so well founded with tradition and connections. When a sorority is previously shunned and then adds one more straw to the camels back, that's when it slides into depths. Please read before you speak instead of making accusations.

EW, assuming you are for real, I think you are one of the worst, most dangerous kind of people out there. So completely lacking in self awareness it is frightening.

I have dear friends who live in Arkansas, and I spent a few very memorable years there. This whole sequence of posts makes me feel badly for them, that this might in any way reflect on the average Arkansan.

Exactly how am I lacking in self-awareness?

I'm interested to hear since you can so awesomely tell from an online message board.

Who knows if I'm joking? Or dead serious? Or so apathetic? Or at work and bored? Or any other possibility. Who knows, perhaps I agree with everything said against me? Or perhaps I think y'all are idiots. Who knows.

I would suggest not trying to diagnose someone through a messageboard.

This thread ended up here somehow. Do a better job at communicating your points next time. I'm not the only one who has asked for clarity when you go on these "southern" tangents.
