why do black people want to pledge and call themselves GREEKS?

Okay another discussion like I said you never know where you’ll find me act you know I mean Zion gates Learning Center live on location brother Jeff brother Justin right now we were just talking about for sororities and fraternities black african-american sorority is a fraternity brother was telling me about

A situation that happened this weekend and imma let him finish discussing that situation and I’m gonna let y’all hear about what’s going on and then i’ma set up a discussion because this is a very very interesting topic because this something I thought about before and now that this brother brung

It up I definitely have to bring this to the series to find out the african-american perspective and identity within black sororities and black fraternities gay yeah yeah I know when I first started this this journey that I’m going now into consciousness you know it can be scary to be a scary

Experience just this the responses you get from people the things that you began discussing certain things the response you get I went on Facebook I’m a little Facebook page I decided this discuss secret societies I’ve been doing some research on the topic I just made a pretty generic

Statement about secret societies and the dangers that they can prevent and included in that I included the the black so-called Greek attorneys and the response that I got was a mate people were initially heard back from one of my own family members who was a member of a sorority and it she

Immediately let me know that if I pursued questioning that organization that it could call those who stopped speaking and that got me but what could possibly be so powerful about these organizations what are they doing there initiation process or indoctrination whatever what could be so powerful that could cause you to just on

Your own making not speak to your own relative hood by them simply asking question and that’s what and it’s important to remember that the only thing that I did was present one crushed to this and the question is this what is the relationship between black folks African Americans Bedouin ACLU’s you know we

Have four Minutemen whatever you want to refer to it there what is our relationship to greet you you got these folks walking around calling themselves Greek when my simple question it took one line that asked what is your relationship as a black person to Greek

And the response was you need it with it was touch the nervous these folks again let me know the different explanations I get one of the excavations I got was over that it’s actually just the official name for Greek fraternities matauri is a Greek letter fraternity civilizations meaning that the only

Thing that they adopted from the Greek culture was the lettering system as I continued to do a little more research on that I’ll be able to speak more about it I’m not sure very secret is not as much information readily available I wish there was but I’m hopefully a brother a so we’ll

Be able to get someone there was fine and give us some more information about the history of these organizations I do know one thing that we’re not Greek I do know that and to and in society where black folks or trying so desperately to establish an identity I find it a almost amusing

To watch black folks call themselves something other than what they are most black people can’t trace their ancestry back past the early mid 1800s so until we discover who you are I think that we need to avoid and Mikey call myself something that we clearly are not and that was basically what happened

They just it was it was a simple question one of one response was to avoid and the other response if I got a lettering and then basically of golf another thing that I was told was I shouldn’t speak on things I don’t know anything about that was a I got two

Responses that they’re dead okay okay so how are we supposed to know how can i I would like to learn more about it but how how can I learn more about it if no one’s willing to know well I’m not you’re doing a lot of things and I mean

But when they come to attorneys and sororities that’s one subject I’m not too knowledgeable on but what I am going to do like I said about 30 minutes ago when I was talking you is I’m gonna do some research real quick the research that’s available to me that I could try

To get some basic information on black sororities black paternity and I’m also going to try to like I said with this video I’m gonna try to get something set up with somebody could come through on the panel and sit down that is and a current member of a society of sorority

Or a love night I graduated from us from a college or university that pledged and they could come in and they could discuss what like I said is the African American connection or identity how do they see themselves within a Greek fraternity because I’m in about her one

Time before that I forgot who it was from a lecturer but he always said that um you don’t have white people going around pledge in Zulu you know I mean or any kind of any kind of African type of identity so why would a black person want to play something under like other

Than that stuff so like I said with this series I’m about trying to educate and trying to come together and try to find out things that other people want to know about I have a platform out there anybody want to come to discuss this situation like I said if you pledge any

Type of fraternity any type of you know we need some answers you know I mean so hit me up you know I mean you know how to find me all right hey
