Indeed 33, sounds like a few people here might have ties to the KKK! The South is just lookin' better and better...

If you're so proud of who you are and what you believe in, the post your org and chapter. But wait, you're hiding behind an anonymous screenname.

A while back you made a comment about anti-semitism that made it seem as if you were making light of it. When I asked you what you meant by it, you didn't respond, had your moderator friend delete my questions, and hid in the moderator forum where you thought nobody would read what you wrote.

You, yourself, took pleasure in that anonymity.

Relax with what you're saying. You're just a bit too eager Luke Skywalker.

Uhm. No. Fratty.net is a website about observances on Fraternity and Sorority fashion.

I just read a comment on fratty saying "That's about as fratty as dating a nigger." If that's not racism I don't know what is.

EDIT: After reading through many of the posts on fratty.net I don't think I'll be visiting the board much more often...they openly admire the KKK and the like. It's a different world...

When I said "popular black culture," what I meant was popular black culture. Its not prejudice by any stretch, turn on MTV or BET and see what I'm talking about. Included in that would be music (rap, etc), clothing, language (slang, etc.), and often times the glorification of things that are "ghetto." Then look at our "culture," which consists of country and classic rock, dressing "preppy," playing sports like golf and tennis...They don't really blend well.

Referring to "popular black culture" like you do is like calling your "culture" "popular white culture," which is a gross generalization and not at all accurate. Are you not saying that all black people are the same and fit the stereotypical MTV image you're mentioning here?

shinerbock · #**148** 01-24-2006, 02:19 PM

Nah, I disagree. I said white culture, when referring to mine, because it is not popular. It is not the image of white young people you see in the media or in major cities. If i meant popular white culture, i'd be referring to a more city-like style. I think that the things I said would be popular black culture, in that it is a popularly seen culture. Sure, there are black guys who are basically rednecks, and those that are really preppy, but you don't see it very often. It may even be true that the MTV and BET black culture you see doesn't represent even the majority of black people, but in my experience it does. Note I'm not referring to how people are, as in their character or education, but rather how they present themselves and the things they are involved in. I imagine the black kids on my campus are much better educated than the majority of black celebrities on MTV, but they still enjoy the same things, dress the same way, etc...

Notice me mentioning several times that popular does not include all, and therefore is not all encompassing.

Eh, six of one half...

You said that most black students at your school are part of what you consider popular black culture. You're right -- you didn't say "all" -- but I still think you're generalizing.
