It is typical Hoosier fare.

He said lovelyivy, librasoul and our "ilk." Hee. He conviently left our the "other" people who disagreed. Guess they are included in our ILK, but not really bad enough to call THEM by name.

I am starting to think that maybe Hoosier really wants to be Black.

Or maybe he got picked on in High School and the kids happened to be black?

Or even better, he lost his woman to a black man.

But on a serious note, he doesn't realize that there was a civil rights movement and the days of people of color taking ignorant abuse are long gone.

Does he actually expect people who he attacks to sit up there and let his butt clown them?

I don't appreciate somebody who knows NOTHING ABOUT MY SORORITY making value judgments.

Maybe I'm reading a helluva lot more into this than I should, but basically I think he has the urge to refer to us as n*****s.

Their parents probably needed a reality check while these girls were little. It's never too late, so now these unfortunate black women need the reality check.

Good observation.

Generally speaking (read: doesn't apply to everyone) blacks and other races who only identify with whites feel the need to denounce themselves and their race. This is often a way of becoming accepted and proving to their white counterparts that they're not "like the others" and aren't threatening.

I think I have a rep over on Chit Chat as being the resident "militant".

There have been racial topics aplenty over there, these are just the latest. (search "prejudism"...it will offer hours of unbridled entertainment, promise!) Most of them end up with a zillion posts and no resolutions. Still, I am compelled to respond. I guess it is just my stubborness. And you know, it is really difficult because I am almost SURE they sign off GC thinking "man, black people are hyper-sensitive about every little thing." But still, I just feel that it is better to at least attempt to show them another perspective so they think twice about doing something ignorant like a ghetto fab party.

I have actually learned alot on Chit Chat (part of it is how to better deal with ignorance), and I post there almost everyday. I find it to be more light-hearted and more "anything goes" that BGLO boards. I mean, can anyone who checked the "Offended" thread fathom that being here or on AKA, ZPhiB, or SGrho? LOL.

At the same time, it is an eye-opener because, as Steeltrap said, I am almost positive that some of them have only been exposed to Black people (and by that I mean Black people who are CONSCIOUS of their blackness) through the media. When they post certain things that seem close-minded and ignorant without batting an eyelash, it sort of bothers me. But hey, I think CT4 once said that GC is a microcosm of real life, so best be equipped to deal!

Exactly!

This is why GC is racially segregated, just like the rest of AmeriKKKa. Although, we segregate under the guise of different organizational affiliations. It's just mere coincidence that it results in racial segregation...yeah right!!! Regardless, people go where they feel most comfortable and don't have to bother with being offensive to others or offended by others.

All I know is that I am LMAO at the idea that OUR HAZING tars THEM with some kind of brush in the media.

Yeah sure. Because of course THEY DON'T HAVE ANY HAZING INCIDENTS OR DEATHS OF THEIR OWN, RIGHT?

Most white people only know anything about BGLOs from School Daze, the three or four who saw that movie with their black friends.

And THEIR (NPC, IFC, etc) reputations have FAR more of an effect on US!

How many times have you told someone non-black that you are in a sorority and had to point out that none of your chapter sorors ever made out, are on Girls Gone Wild tapes, or have parties that revolve solely around alchohol (ours are much more likely to revolve around who has the tightest stroll

).

The idea that WE have a negative impact on THEM is hysterical.

I feel awfully comfortable over in the AKA and DST forums. I have never once been offended, and I certainly hope I haven't offended people. I know I can sass someone in a post, but I see a lot of "the golden rule" over here (and I don't mean Mr. T "the man with the gold - rules").

There are an abundance of topics, wonderful people, just and beautiful

moderators, thought provoking comments, and lots of laughs.

GOOD!

That makes you a "minority" on GC

Let me just say I agree with a_b.

Everyone knows that hoosier is a nasty racist and no one around here likes him. There are a few that do, but they are mostly older alums of NIC fraternities. Pretty much every NPC member and younger NIC member can't deal with his crap (including breaking into fraternity houses!!). Personally I wish he'd get banned but because people delete his worst stuff he doesn't.

There are a lot of racist nasty fools on GC but please know that not all of us support that crap. As a_b said I too love to browse the forums of Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Zeta Phi Beta because they have the most variety and quality of topics. I don't post much because obviously I am not a member of those orgs but anyway, I have learned a lot about NPHC orgs on GC and I have tried to take that knowledge that I have back to my campus, which has no NPHCs. (Although I think that may soon be changing, we'll see!

) Anyway I have gained a great respect for your organizations and the service that you do! I think that the NPC/NIC need to get in line with the service and lifetime dedication that you show!

Perhaps we need to start up a new group...

And as far as going into homes uninvited...I still don't like it. I have been attending COB events and I see the girls through the window, and I still KNOCK every single time. It isn't my home though I am made to feel extremely welcome there. I also knock on the fraternity homes as well, even though I know the doors are open. My family would slap me back to the days of butterfly collars if I just walked right up in uninvited.

Yeah, we're not equating the ignorance of some with the ignorance of all. But, there is an overall climate on GC that is persistent in the General Forums.

You don't have to be members of the NPHC, or any other BGLOs, to post in these forums. We welcome everyone, as long as folks don't come in here being condescending or patronizing. But, you know that already

I'm glad you're learning from the NPHC, as most of us are learning a great deal about NPC and IFC from GC.
