Not throwing out any accusations but just wondering? Cause the only organization that I'm familiar with doing duck walks at ANY POINT IN TIME IN THEIR history was my own and that's illegal now so again I say if you see it PLEASE report it.

Well, they sure are men, so I hope they aren't Deltas... NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF IT GETS REPORTED. I'm not sure y'all understand that.

I think bringing in new members in that fashion is much more degrading than throwing a white trash bash or a pimp and ho party.

Actually, in our new litigious times and in an effort to protect themselves, most national headquarters WELCOME reports of violations of the intake process. I know campus politics delays things more often than it doesn't but if you are concerned with how new members are brought it you SHOULD say something to someone.

As for which is more damaging we'll have to agree to disagree. They are damaging in different ways I will say but from my perspective there's nothing funny, therefore fun, about having any function that degrades a group of people no matter what the group.

that's all fine and dandy, so nice try and changing the subject. again...what does any of this have to do with black face? not a damn thing.

What do you mean "still"?

Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Expression

The Pikes did nothing wrong except perhaps act without thinking it through.

I said earlier in this thread, they simply made a stupid mistake, however it is neither illegal nor should they be punished.

As for me going to a black fraternity party with black face, I of course would not, not that BGLOs have parties here anyways.

You told ktsnake he couldn't play because he was from a small town. I live in the inner city so I want to know if my opinions still get to matter.

they didn't make a mistake..they knew exactly what they were doing.

As I stated I don't think they should have their chapter removed, but they DESERVE to be punished.
Stop with the mistake crap, it's a mistake if you fall down a flight of stairs and knock over an old lady. It's not a mistake if you sit in your room and paint your face Black.
To say this is a mistake is to say that the Pike's are mentally retarded, and even that would be insulting to the mentally ill. They knew what they were doing and deserve some type of punishment, PERIOD!-

I propose a punishment, bring them down to Louisiana......New Orleans perhaps, around the time of Bayou Classic, in Black face, that will be punishment enough, I know I'd be satisfied.

Guess what, I hate to break it to you but they deserve no punishment.

As for saying "wear blackface to random place and see what happens" great they got a rise out of you and guess what, what they are doing is not illegal, anyone laying a hand on them or anyone else IS.

If someone wants in uniform, blackjack boots and fly the swastika, then that is their right and is perfectly legal, now if someone else walks up, takes offense and punches said person, then that is illegal.

Freedom of expression and of speech applies to everything, not just when it is convienent for you or other racial minority groups.
