you made a sweeping generalization of sub cultures of a group of people. every CBC doesn't go through what you go through, we're all individuals..but there are many asians who consider themselves "bananas" because of superficial reasons...when in reality, there might be a deeper reason as to why they view themselves as such.

Well so much for a non racist bigoted individual!

Think I will sign off, go to bed and have Tapioca while reading a book on Something imprtant like Physics. Has to be more interesting than bonds and stocks that suck.

Wow this was really a great post to be started and to what purpose?

Guess it just proves a point of Twisted Sister.

What are you talking about?

I assume in your first post you are referring to these posts YOU made about Blacks and Jews?

"Well, if you do not like America, USA, take your self back on over to Africa, is it any better there with genocide among Blacks"
-Tom Earp

"Is Skanks just those who are Jewish or not?"
-Tom Earp

You should sign off instead of trying to raise the ire of others. As for Physics, I doubt you know much. Physics was a fun class. Ahhh all those years of science, humanities, math, economics...what fun.

Yeah, I was informing someone who didn't know what FOB meant. I never did personally use the term, nor would I use in the future to describe an immigrant, as I am one myself. My apologies if you misinterpreted what I said as malicious, because that was not the intention. I lol-ed because someone didn't know what it meant.

What a shame. For someone who postsof their inteligence that all that is brought up are things that were taken out of context to try to show ones self importance.

So far, it seems that the only person being impressed is ones self.

It would be nice to carry on a good post instead of the name calling of peoples Organizations, Religion, and Ethnic Backgrounds.

I would try to say have a nice day, but I wont demean Myself that low.

Tom Earp is a member of Lambda Chi Alpha. He posts on here about having started a chapter for his fraternity as well as being involved as an alumni. He even told me that those at Lambda Chi Alpha national headquarters know him and that I should call to see if he's a member (this was when he asked for my member info and I declined because I don't enjoy harassment).

So it is established that not only is Tom Earp a Lambda Chi Alpha but he is a well-known, if not prominent, member of Lambda Chi Alpha.

His posts are quoted above. One is racist and the other is anti-semitic. He may attempt to justify them with some context, but really given the fact that so many people have sent complaints about these very posts to the administrator and moderators means that no context is acceptable. You be the judge.

Tom has not even issued a sincere apology about these remarks. One of his brothers on here said something publicly to say that these remarks were wrong and I applaud him. However, in the end Tom is tied to his fraternity and his brothers and has made himself a case study for this very thread's topic.

-Rudey
--Enjoy Tom.

the point is that you seem to be trying to assimilate for very superficial reasons.
