Quoted: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, which was founded in 1906 at Cornell University and whose membership includes civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall, announced the convention's relocation from Orlando on Wednesday. "Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. moves 2025 General Convention from Orlando, Fla., due to Gov. DeSantis' harmful, racist and insensitive policies against the Black community. Please share." https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/07/26/florida-alpha-phi-alpha-moves-convention/8461690416956/ I hear Baltimore is nice. I’m actually surprised they don’t hold their convention or conclave in New Orleans like every other fraternity does. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Fake news. Prince Hall is the oldest Black fraternity. It allows others to join too though so I guess it’s not racially segregated enough. Isn’t a black fraternity itself racist? It’s all racist. Racy. I knew white guys in a black fraternity so it isn’t totally segregated, but it’s more of an exception than a rule. |

MLK huh? Pretty ironic that "judging people by the content of their character, and not the color of their skin" is now seen as a "racist policy", by a fraternity apparently filled with a bunch of racists. Good riddance. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Do black fraternity pledges still get branded with a hot iron when they do their initiation ceremony? Yes, they all have their own brand symbol and most of the members get them. I don’t believe they are part of the actual initiation, but are done soon afterwards. |

Sounds vague, political and cunty Of the 100+ points regarding black history, the following is the one complained of.

It’s all racist. Racy. Meh, while Freemasonry is a fraternity, when most people hear “fraternity”, they think of college greek letter groups. The “traditionally” or “historically” black fraternities will take non blacks from time to time. This can also vary from chapter to chapter. When I was in college the black fraternities were pretty insignificant. Their membership number were so low, I have no idea how they even stayed open. The fraternity I was in, if our numbers were that low, our HQ would have closed us. There was one white side that joined one of the black fraternities, and of course he looked like a bootleg wannabe Eminem. |

This is tragic.
Restaurants near the convention center probably expect this group, annually, and rely on the generous tipping to supplement their income. This is a major blow to the local waitstaff. |

When I was in college, the black fraternities on campus had such low membership numbers, I don’t know how they even functioned or stayed open. I did hear one time that they couldn’t even fill their officer positions and would have to have members from nearby schools or alumni fill those positions in order to do initiations. |

I hear Jalisco and Sinaloa are nice that time of year. Sure they'd receive a warm welcome. No need to stay in a racist place like mean old Florida.
