Non-Black Members in Historically Black Greek Ltr Organizations

[Discogoddess]

I'm interested to know: what "reverse discrimination" are black people perpetrating on whites? What schools are whites kept out of, jobs are whites denied, neighborhoods are whites barred from, because of black people in decision-making positions denying them the opportunities to pursue those opportunities? And please don't cite the tired "I was denied admission/a job at XYX University/Corporation because some inferior ***** got my job" line.

From where I sit, the few institutions blacks do control have been/are open to people of all backgrounds. It's just that "people of all backgrounds," especially whites, have been loathe to align themselves with black institutions, by and large.

Discgoddess you are implying that you must be in a position of power to be a racist. Many members of the Ku Klux Klan are not in any positions of power at all. I believe racism is any form of treating someone differently because of their race, and that is wrong. However, I do not believe that we will be completely equal as a society until all labels are gone. And to all black greeks that don't appreciate other races in the orgs, I just want to say you could be losing a really good brother or sister based on the color of their skin. Imagine your best friend, then think of them as a different race, would you still love them? People are all the same
