No matter what being a Member of a Black/White Mason Brother, you are still a Mason and times are changing.
There is nothing that I know of in Masonic teachings having to do with color in todays society.
If I am wrong, please explain to not only me but all others on this site. Please PM me so I can understand your references.

Yes from from what I have seen, there are glos who were founded by the Masonic, Acacia being one.

I find some of the things posted here inane and unknowing.

You mean like using "Masonic" as a noun rather than as an adjective? (The noun is "Masonry" or "Freemasonry.") Or like your mistaken idea that a person does not ask to become a Mason? 2B1ASK1, you know.

Something seems very Earpish here. Very Earpish indeed.

Who said anything about race? My "opinion" is a reference to your post not making sense.

My thoughts exactly.

Are you serious? Do you know how many of our government's founding officials were Masons? Do you realize how many people currently involved with our government may be Masons?

My husband is a Mason, and there are so many other things wrong with your post... really too many to address on this forum.

Responding to myself to note that chopper599 has been banned, and after only 7 posts. I guess he was indeed Earpish.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one.

My husband is a Mason and a Shriner. I have never heard him make reference to any hazing in his experience becoming a Mason. I do know for a fact though that he was hazed as part of his initiation into the Shrine.

The stuff I've heard about the Shrine, directly and indirectly, is enough to make me not pursue it, even if I were ever to become a Mason in the first place (which I'm incidentally not interested in, though I support its right to exist).

Yes, you can be both a Mason and a KC..my priest (which is catholic) brother is a Mason and a KC.
