Think what you like. It burns me up when I hear "black" and "own culture" in the same sentence.

Luckily, "black culture" doesn't disappear just because some don't understand.

I can buy that there's many black cultures under one umbrella. The part of the "umbrella" you belong to will probably influence which conference of organizations you choose to join...and going buy some of what I read here on GC and PP, which organization within the NPHC you choose to join. I think location matters a lot also. The same person who went to school in Chicago may have a completely different experience with the various Greek systems if they transferred to a school in San Diego.

That's a different way of saying what I said earlier:

Saying there is a such thing as an "XYZ culture" isn't about being a monolithic group.

No matter how much you and your brother love black people (), you still acknowledge that you are Filipino and that there is a "Filipino and/or Filipino-American culture." This doesn't require that Filipinos think, say, and do the exact same things to recreate the culture.

When people begin to overstate the obvious, they overlook the similarities and trends in an attempt to highlight what smart people already know.

(I don't care about organizations anymore so I'm ignoring the rest of your post.)

I agree it's obvious. That's why it's crazy that there's 55 threads about this subject on GC.

We all wake up to a bowl of grits, then munch on fried chicken, biscuits, and watermelon throughout the day. We all run fast, jump high, and can keep a rhythm.

man, you need to stop reading my blog. but i havent had any watermelon in a hot minute...

This is not an organizational problem. This is an individual problem.

Because people such as yourself panic when you read "black culture" and need to reassert the misplaced "blacks aren't monolithic."

Speaking for the NPHC, I think we may have dodged a bullet with this one.

*breathes a sigh of relief*

And by "own culture" some of us mean something deeper than just African American culture. Try African diasporic connections.

Didn't I say I put that in there just for you? I was dead serious. I actually think before I write/type.

Now as far as all that other unnecessary isht you wrote, you said a whole lot more about you than me, especially since you don't know me from jack.

Please find something better to do than e-attack people you don't know.

It really fits in with everything we've said.

Dionysus was candid about how she went about choosing organizations but I'm much more interested in her conceptualization of self, which also goes back to what we were saying.
