This always seems to come up, and it's an issue that's really difficult to explain without getting much emotional.

There is always drama at my Alma Mater because the Black Student organization is closed (i.e. if you are not of African decent you cannot officially be on the member roster) and I think it's due in large part to black students clamoring for that black space.

I think I'll send this to some of the people I had the arguments about the org with.

I myself live in LA and people wonder why I would want to move to Atlanta. I think you hit the nail on the head that's it's not necessarily Anti-White or even Pro-Black just what's comfortable. No explanation and no challenge just what you always thought this country was about until you walked outside and found out that was a lie. At least amongst our own I'm just a Black guy pumping gas.
