OMG, this forum is like crack cocaine, it keeps caaaaaaallin me, man.

Let me make one final (I know I keep saying that) attempt to explain why I was primarily responsible for this thread blowing up.

My issue was primarily with SkeephistAKAte who in her initial "disapproval" post was AFAIK was motivated by her concern that white Greeks take stepping and steal the NPHC's thunder in this area. I was merely trying to write this all off as another symptom of "the Omarosa Syndrome", which is the manipulation of the victim mentality in order to justify their own self-serving behavior and attitudes.

In other words, it's OK if the NPHC began GLOs based on historically white or Masonic organizations or begin step shows based on historically white Greek Sing shows (if this is incorrect, let me know and I will retract it). But if they put a unique element in their orgs and a non-NPHC org tries to use it, then GLO be damned. Complaints will fly because everyone will be concerned that their orgs culture will be trivialized and diluted.

Why is that?

Because the Black culture has been oppressed for over 400 years (the victim mentality) and that there needs to be some elements reserved for only Black Greeks/people (the self-serving attitudes and behaviors).

What does that spell?

THE OMAROSA SYNDROME!!

GeekyPenguin and wptw, does this sound about right???
