again, you've proven your uselessness and ineptitude. how about you leave adult conversation to the adults because clearly you're not equipped to to be more than pesky, and mildly retarded child. if this is your way of showing your frustration at being an inferior person, i would venture to say you should step it up because it's another poor showing from a piss poor individual.

You did a lot with this post. LOL.

I'd rather you shared how much you had to pay your chapter for its vote. Being a white Hispanic and all.

Let's move back to the topic, ok? Personal attacks/snarky behavior is not necessary.

As always, unless you have something to get us back on this tired topic, what's the point of coming in to police the discourse?

I'm not trying to change your opinion or make you seek my approval, that's never what this was about. I'm sorry that I brought it up in a thread where you were the only one who expressed that you would not vote for a white person, I tried to make it clear that it was not about YOU, but about the view in general as held by multiple NPHC members and expressed by them publicly.

First I don't think I was the only one, reread. Second the way you can't leave this thread sounds like you have something vested in NPHC intake. If you feel you are a champion of the people, take on a more important and worthy cause.

I think we got how you felt about 10 pages ago. Do you like repeating and explaining/ Usually one that keeps try to explain is trying to influence thought, which you claim you aren't trying to accomplish.

I see your point.

There are inequalities above and beyond Greekdom. That much is obvious.

Not to take anything from Drolefile overall, but I don't really see her in threads that discuss more general inequalities. Those threads tend to quickly be labeled dead horses or taboo topics by many white GCers. Yet, Drolefile's here to discuss what she perceives to be inequality during some intake processes. As if this is the vessel through which she's attacking a larger phenomenon.

Actually, it just comes up on the New Posts list when I check it, and I see if someone's replied to me. I'm not really championing anything and I'm not that invested. I have a lot of free time as a grad school student just starting a semester. Critcizing how much time I spend replying is silly and could just as easily be asked of you. I'm on GC a lot, enough said.

Nope, I'm not. But as people keep replying, they often take my words and misapply them. I'd be thrilled if people took what I actually said and disagreed and discussed, but instead it becomes "everyone has biases" which is far from the point I was making.

I'm truly not trying to use this one issue to make a bigger point. This discussion started with me stating how I could see a girl with internal issues feel excluded from the NPHC because she's not "black enough" when members say they won't vote for white people out of hand. Quite simply I don't like the idea.
As for other threads, sometimes I don't see them as I often don't click on threads outside of the the major forums or in my sorority's forum, so sometimes if they're in the D9 forum, I don't come across them. And a lot of times, I feel like the right thing's are being said already. But sometimes I just watch and learn. There are a lot more educated people in the subject of racism and inequality than me. And sometimes it devolves into a fight between a few members and I stop watching for a while. (Almost happened with this thread and macallan's entrance and comments)

I felt like I had a point to bring up here, and I did. And I appreciate the discussion I've gotten from the majority of those who've replied.

Cool.

Some of your posts read like you're championing some grand cause. So I'm just wondering what you think the grand cause really is.

I don't really mean to But if I had to pick one it would be that all people get judged, evaluated, etc. for everything they do, as individuals whether it's a mortgage, an apartment, sorority membership, or shopping in a store. Seeing it regarded as ok on a microlevel implies that it's ok on the macrolevel or that it's some sort of tit for tat thing.

That said, I never really tried to bring this discussion up the macrolevel, but went with it when other posters did to some extent.

Good because whites' not getting a vote doesn't matter at the macro level.

Bwahahahah.......swing and a miss sport.

This really is great. Have you honestly failing to realize what is going on here? The only reason I keep responding to you is because you reply with these ridiculous, overplayed, thought out insults. Buddy, I don't give a rat's ass what you think about me....but you keep typing this garbage like you think I do. If you would just give it a rest....I would stop. But since you keep trying to assert your intellectual dominance over me, all the while failing to realize that I am completely screwing with you.....you have become quite a good source of entertainment for me during downtime at the internship. You are doing exactly what I want you to do........and it is absolutely hilarious. You are an absolute joke. Enjoy beating off to the sound of your own voice....I'm gonna go play golf.

*LOLOLOL*

I found this post hilarious, and in some respects, on point.

Then again, great minds do indeed think alike.

I agree, but on a website about Greeks it fits perfectly

Both of you are doing what the other wants you to do.

Congrats, you're both internet puppet masters who log off to do more important stuff!
