Looking the part

What do you think about people who say "Oh you look like/act like you would be an Alpha or Delta and so on." People tell me that all the time and I'm not even greek.

I get that a lot, too, but only from loose acquaintances (anyone who really knows me won't got there). First, I think "". Then, I do so they can see it. Then I to myself as I walk away. It's a very simple thought process, really.

You take it as a compliment, don't you? Are you like "yay, they said I look like a XYZ! I knew it was meant to be."?

Stop-lol.

I use to get that during undergrad. b4 I pledged. Folks always narrowed it down to the same two organizations. I thought it was rather interesting. I would actually make people explain to me why they would think such a thing. As stated earlier, it was always from people who knew me the least...futhermore, my body rejects crimson.

Yeah, honestly sometimes I do depending on why they said it. If they say something like "because you're so smart or do so many good things for people," how could you not take that as a compliment no matter if you want to do xyz or not. But if it's something ignorant then I basically ignore it. Either way, I always say I'm really not looking to become greek. But yes, if someone says the right thing, I am definitly cheezin on the inside thinking one day.....

LOOKS for the BLACKMAN!

Hotep Brothers (Sisters-BLACKWOMEN only who too are peeping),

As an ANGRY BLACK MALE I do not give a DAMN about striving to look a certain way. My daily challenge of trying to do the right thing for my family and myself is forever being challenged by a wicked KKKriminal JUST-US system, self-hating KKKnee-grows who are always willing to showcase themselves as being an "agent/plant" for the enemy, etc.

I am an ANGRY BLACK MALE and am not ashamed! I strive to look the part, because I am not HAPPY, I am not CAREFREE, and I definitely am not GAY! I was BORN this way! Chicago, old school "house music" heads are sure to relish to that thumping jam. Damn it, I am having a WBMX HOT-MIX attack....HELP!

You ain't a really down....
playing those games you do...."

Re: SteelTrap Inquiry

Steeltrap, DJ Frankie Knuckles came out with the "Whistle Song" in the early 90s. Did you ever hear it?

Now you know, every now and again we need to be entertained by the Trolls.

Well geez-la-weez, I must not be getting it because I didn't think this broke any rules. What's wrong with the post so I'll know for future references.
