Unless this thread is regarding racial issues within Greek Life (let's not even go there this one is already annoying me), can you please move this to ChitChat or something?

Directions for mods and super mods:
1) split thread
2) give new thread a better title (unless you're trying to be funny or an asswipe)
3) then move the new thread to the appropriate forum

I just read/skimmed 12/13 pages of this thread, and I am still searching for ...
a point (to this thread). Does it have one, or can we all agree to somehow give it one? I know that it has a subject or topic but a point seems to be elusive.

This thread is a spin off from the Visiting Chapters thread. We veered to a more interesting topic after Elephant Walk made a "jewskin" jab.
However, there is certainly a point to the posts. If you really skimmed 12/13 pages, you should be able to get the point. Unless you're a sucky skimmer. It is fragmented but definitely an interesting discussion (similar to the topics covered in the "first sorority to demand equal rights" thread).

I was under the impression it was a (rather spontaneously occurring) discussion/exchange of ideas on race and slavery. That is the point of the thread, at this point ... does it need to have some purpose beyond that?

What the agenda behind that is, I don't know. But I am so sick and tired of being the bad guy after I question these stupid "historical documentaries" and "history textbooks". If there were any publications that provided more than just speculation and horror stories, I'd be a lot more willing to put the argument to rest.

*sigh*
SEC, these accounts aren't just "speculation and horror stories", the accounts in these articles I posted talk about conditions in the 1930s and 1940s, for god's sake. There's no speculating about it. Your parents, well probably YOUR grandparents, but my parents for sure, were alive at that time.
But anyway, let's just KIM. I think DSTChaos is right, the thread's lost it's steam and if the last couple threads didn't make an impression on you that in any way budged your way of thinking, I don't know what will. And you're one of the more likeable "fratties" for me at this point, so I'd rather enjoy your posts on more frivolous topics and not keep getting frustrated by discussing issues we so clearly have deeply different opinions on.
