White People:

Do not try to identify with my ethnicity. (ie. trying to speak ebonic as if I even talk like that)

Do not ask me if you can touch my hair

Do not leave the house without blow-drying your hair.

Do not assume that I know the words to every rap song.

Lastly, DO NOT, I mean, DO NOT, try to do the Cha-Cha slide. You will tie yourself up in a knot.

[buterscotch1]

I LIKE the Cha Cha Slide

[ManndingoNUPE]

For the ladies:

Do Not:

-Try to put your ugly girlfriend that can't get a man off on me becuase you think I am a nice guy and I am now single.

-Say "this is my first time doing this". You and I both know you have done this more times than you can remeber.

-Say "I don't do x,y, or Z, and then we get down and you are like Vanessa Del Rio.

-Think that I am your man just becuase I cooked you diner.

-Talk to me on the phone for like 5 hours when you live in the same city. Come over!

-Tell me about all the freaky stuff you did with your ex on the first date, and then get mad when I try to get a taste.

-Get mad at me when I stare and you are half naked.

-Think that you can sleep with more than one brother in the chapter and brothers won't know about it.

-Stop hitting the brother off after you know you have him. The things you did to get him are the things you have to do to keep him.

For the fellas:

Do Not:

-Act like just becuase she didn't talk to you she is stuck up or a lesbian. Maybe she is just having a bad day.

-Do not tell your boy how good your girl is in bed, he will try to find out.

-Assume that just becuase she hit you off on your first date, she is a ho. If she is a ho then what are you?

-Say I want her to do x,y, or z and then when she asks you to do Y, you say I don't do that.

-Assume that your sexual skills are the bomb, you may be good, but there is always someone bigger and better than you.

-Not call her after you hit it the night before. That's some krass s^&t.

-Try to sleep with your girl's freaky friend that she continually tells you about how many guys she is doing.

ROFLMAO!!! That is definitely on point!

[sweettgabrown]

Though almost all of my DO NOTS have been covered...

DO NOT use or even say "conversate" it is NOT a word. The word is "converse".
DO NOT say "cut off the light" say instead,
"turn off the light".
DO NOT wear a scarf to work just because you need to have your weave re-done (seriously folks, especially at a major investment bank)
True story!
DO NOT wear the cheapest line of a particular designer (usually targeted to the Urban Market) with big, bold, letters all-over them. i.e. DKNY, Tommy, CHAPS, etc.
Men, DO NOT wear cornrows, EVER!!!!
DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT, buy counterfeit Gucci, Coach, or D&B bags, if ya can't afford the real thing, buy a less expensive brand.
DO NOT make the mistake of thinking that Red Lobster is a real seafood restaurant. It is a nationwide franchise.
DO NOT wear the tags on sneakers or you new "Timbos"
DO NOT wear garrishly long, fake nails with ugly designs or money tips...
Ok that's enough

DO NOT...Stand at the BUS STOP with 2-cell phones and 2-pagers clipped to your clothing (TRUE STORY)

More DO NOTS

Those of you who approach me when I am wearing my letters (APO)

DO NOT:

When I say that my Fraternity is Alpha Phi Omega, ask, "WHAT'S THAT?" To say the least, it should be obvious; it's a FRATERNITY! Go to www.apo.org or keep an eye out for the informationals!

Ask, "Are yall Black?" Does it matter? If our ideals and principles inspire you, color shouldn't be an issue. Yes, we have Blacks in it, but we were not founded as a result of race relations.

Ask, "Do yall step?" There is more to a GLO then just stepping.
After 9 years, some FAQs get really old.

If you are a woman trying to holla @ me:

DO NOT: break the ice by asking if we met before (high school, conference, etc.) My recognizing individuals is VERY POOR to begin with, especially if it has been a long time since I last saw them. If you are interested in getting to know me, say a simple yet flattering line to that effect, and you will find out something about me. A little honesty and a little courage goes a long way AFAIC.


Women and men who do know me:

DO NOT get offended if I do not recognize you right off the bat. Again, I have a poor memory, and you may get your feelings hurt in the process. Just identify yourself and if I know you, the blank stare will melt.

DO NOT ask me why do I dance by myself. Three reasons: I'm grown, this is America, and that is my perogative (sp?).

Fellow BGLO members:

DO NOT tell me and my bruhs (or my Gamma Sig sorors) that we cannot step/stroll at a party because we are not part of NPHC. That's bulldrop and many a fight broke out because of that. That happened once. Some Ques approached us at a APQ/Gamma-Sig hosted function and said we shouldn't be stepping--WHAT THE... Gonna beauregarde us and our sorors at our own function? My bruhs almost had to layeth the smack down on them Ques. But it was squashed. And we stepped.

Women:
DO NOT go to 1st Fridays dressed in hoochie-gear. It is a professional affair requiring PROFESSIONAL dress.

Do not refer to yourselves as divas if your character do not reflect it (if you are a Proverbs 7 woman as opposed to a Proverbs 31 woman). 'Nuff said.

Men:

DO NOT: refer to yourselves as play[ers/az], pimps, hustlers and ball[ers/az]. None of those titles have any redeeming values and it degrades the male gender. Try calling yourselves leaders, trailblazers, warriors, princes, kings, and get this: FATHERS!

I'll b back later

RM,

This is good advice. Many a brother I know should take this to heart.
