".its an attitude that they are superior because they are white, male and rich." nothing wrong with being confident and sure of yourself, you should try it. Instead of always crying about being a helpless victim. you notice that people who are confident are always conservatives and victims are always libs

Hey Ted, it seems you may be right about the institutionalized racism among white boy fraternities: Racist SAE chant was taught at national leadership event, fraternity says Wow, that's amazing. I never would have thought that, even in this day and age, these guys are still acting like the KKK. I guess "white power" still has some sort of perverse draw with these guys. I don't know if I said this before, but the whole frat scene never appealed to me. When I was applying to college, and during my freshman year at Cornell, I never understood why so many people cared so much about getting into fraternities. It just seemed to be another "cool crowd" thing that I thought I grew out of as I went through high school. It seems, though, that this "Good Old Boy" network, while I've always known of its existence, is far stronger and more ingrained in our subculture than I would like to believe. How do we dismantle it? I'm not sure it can be, since it's human nature to want to congregate around people who think, look, and act like you and come from similar backgrounds. But I think I'll start with myself and integrate more with races and people groups that I usually don't hang out with. It's hard, since they have to want to hang out with me just as much as I'm trying to hang out with them. Tenchusatsu
