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.

This is not an organizational problem. This is an individual problem.
Sigma Gamma Rho is perfect. It's the twits that mess it up.

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