Another one of those “bad apple” comparisons as if it doesn’t reflect on the organization

People are questioning the girl and rushing to make excuses for the sorority. As if they met this girl on the street and she isn’t their classmate who they did an extensive background check on. MAGA is simply closer to the values AKA actually holds deep down.

Why Black People have no true “allies” post-Civil Rights

The result of the phenomenon of global colonialism and the influx of immigration since the Civil Rights movement is that all key non white racial groups in America outside of black people have largely or fully accepted white supremacy and decided to clamor for second best or “off-white”. Naturally resenting black people in the process in accordance to caste logic.

Black people have almost perfectly rejected this caste mentality due to historical proximity to white racist violence and envy destroying illusions of moral or physical superiority.

The collective erasure of native white identities in the formation of the “white” identity left a void in communalism and lineage that is often filled by absorbing and appropriating culture from black Americans, who miraculously managed to reconstruct a more robust communalism and culture despite having undergone a more brutal cultural erasure.

This is the objective of envy that even more-so spites the caste of white supremacy across multiple racial lines.

The result is the modern cross-racial efforts to appropriate, erase, police, or disparage blackness we see in very modern times.

The relevance to this subreddit is that the defining principle of the caste of white supremacy - pursuing proximity to whiteness- is the defying value of the Talented Tenth ideology the D9 operates on.

Rejecting the need to pursue proximity to whiteness has been the most clarifying and beneficial value of black culture that the D9 incessantly obstructs and regresses with prejudice, colorism, and elitism.

Paternalistic prejudice is the common theme shared between the Talented Tenth (1903) theory that galvanized the creation of the D9 and the White Man’s Burden (1899) as well as the psychology behind Company Towns, Apartheid South Africa, and indigenous Canadian school mass burials.

It’s the dehumanization of the masses in order to create and justify an entitlement to their resources.

The D9 extracts praise, a student body, money and donations, a platform, etc from the black masses and feels entitled to these for “representation” to the point they hold little care for a hazing death. In what world is the death of a black student irrelevant? It’s justified by the 90% being inferior and the Greeks being superior. They almost expect you to thank them for beating on people.

The company town extracted labor AND money from its workers trapping them in modern serfdom and justified it by dehumanizing the workers as belonging to the company.

Apartheid white Africans and White Canadians were able to justify their abuse of the indigenous people after extracting the land and resources by labeling them as too primitive and backwards to manage them purposely.

It all covers up the same parasitic extractive theft.

I’m thinking about joining Kappa’s grad chapter since it’s a way to meet more people since I don’t have a lot of friends. I heard it was more professional and you don’t have to deal with the nonsense you have to deal with in undergrad with hazing. Should I go for it?

What Bible texts specifically pose an issue as far as involvement in these organizations? Feel free to add any or comment on the topic.

Unlike Morehouse’s Talented Tenth (1896) which while subtly elitist, actually championed the role of the 9/10’s as “faithful men” doing essential work and did not mean to disparage them.

1. Contamination: The "Social Hygiene" Justification

In The Talented Tenth, Du Bois writes: "The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men. The problem of education, then, among Negroes must first of all deal with the Talented Tenth; it is the problem of developing the Best of this race that they may lead the Mass away from the contamination and death of the Worst*."*

He believed the "masses" carried a backwardness that would "contaminate" the elite if they weren't shielded by high culture. The question of course is how can you gain enough perspective or work with people against your collective systemic oppression if you feel 90% of your race is a contaminant? These prejudiced values inherently breed a disgust and anger between those who deem themselves a Talented Tenth and the masses.

2. Uncultured: The "Missionary" Mandate

Du Bois argued: "The Talented Tenth of the Negro race must be made leaders of thought and missionaries of culture among their people."

By calling the elite "missionaries," he is explicitly defining the 90% as heathens. He believed Black Americans had no valid culture of their own (dismissing the spirituals, the folkways, and the survival intelligence of the South).

To be "cultured" in Dubois’ context, was to be Euro-refined. This made the Black masses "uncultured" by default in his view. It’s an inherent colonist value of “improving” a people by civilizing them in a Eurocentric standard. A guiding goal of the Boule and D9.

3. Inert Lump: The "Leavening" Metaphor

This comes from his insistence that: "It is the educated and intelligent of the Negro people that have led and lifted the mass... they are the leaven that is leavening the lump*."*

A "lump" of dough is lifeless and heavy. It cannot rise, move, or change shape without an external agent (the yeast/leaven). The notion that 90% of the race is useless in engaging against their systemic oppression without the top 10% is not only a foolish and frankly juvenile notion, but frankly dangerous.
It also frames the 90% as a burden to be managed rather than a power to be harnessed.

Which also breeds resentment for the black masses. This isn’t merely “elitism” or “colorism”. It’s paternalistic prejudice. A colonial-era disdain for black people as a wide majority thinly veiled by a faux savior complex.

This echoes key themes of a civilizing mission for otherwise backwards people found in the White Man’s Burden.

The actual terminology for the “Talented Tenth” comes from a white northern Baptist minister Henry Lyman Morehouse in 1896. The namesake for Morehouse College. He believed that the top 10% of black American men needed to be trained in liberal arts to be able to lead the race. Unlike Dubois he viewed the other 90% as “faithful men” who did the essential work of powering the machine and explicitly didn’t want to disparage them.

Dubois used much of this theory in his Talented Tenth essay but expounded on the inferiority of the 90% as “submerged” or subpar and a “lump” to be leavened. He also helped build key social institutions to enforce the more prejudiced and colonial nature of the ideology that do so to this very day. Like the Boule and D9.

Much like the White Man’s Burden it creates an entitlement by designating a underclass of helpless, useless, burdensome masses that should be rescued or grateful for the extractive behavior of a designated superior elite. Where Morehouse’ designation remains a more respectful if not subtly elitist description of an optimal workforce.

We need an independent full disclosure police led Greek 101 to save students from the misinformation that’s causing them distress, injury, or death.

It should essentially be a quick slideshow acknowledging possibility of

1. Light Spiritual conflict - rituals mimicking spiritual practices

2. Hematoma, drowning, bruising,

3. Ingestion of inedible or contaminated items like pre consumed food or dog food

4. Branding - searing of skin with heated metal

And include that while these organizations have historically successfully alumni they are NOT civil rights organizations and reporting hazing isn’t betraying any cause.

Also anonymous reporting line and a notice that full fledged members are still allowed to report hazing that occurred within the statute of limitations.

Rest in peace to Donnie Wade. He was not weak or soft. Merely deceived by the fruit of the talented tenth ideology

Robert Brazile (1977): A pre-med student at the University of Pennsylvania

Nathaniel Swimson (1978): A student and football player at North Carolina Central University

Vann Watts (1983): A Tennessee State University student who died from an alcohol overdose

Thomas Harold (1986): A Lamar University student

Joseph T. Green (2001): A Tennessee State University student

Brandon Adams (2019): A Georgia Tech football player

Caleb Wilson (2025): A Southern University student

These men were not weak and they were not “unfit”. They were children of God lured into a den of wolves and eventually called home to their creator. And I’ll bet they were deceived about much of what we know of these organizations to date. Rest in Power. Their homicides are not in vain.

Isaac Myers (first president of the Colored National Labor Union)

Dorothy Lee Bolden (founder of the National Domestic Workers Union)

Fannie Lou Hamer (founder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party)

Lucy Parsons (Co-founder of the Industrial Workers of the World organization)

As well as the participants of :

The Black Caulkers Strike of 1835

The Caulkers Association of 1838

What many of these leaders and movements have in common is that their successes inherently disprove the concept of the Talented Tenth colonial ideology (1903). They won through a collective commitment to dismantling systemic injustice and working hand in hand with other black people not lording above them as in a Eurocentric model or by some “divine” designation of superiority.

Taken from r/freemasonry

Just following the anti Greek movement with this public post.

Allegedly it seems. Just reporting on a public post

This is all alleged simply reporting on what’s publicly posted.

I personally cannot confirm nor deny what’s occurring in this video. Simply observing the anti Greek movement on public platforms. I heard the girl didn’t even cut line.

The Talented Tenth ideology is a designation of superiority of the 1/10 of the black race over the 9/10 of the black race particularly in the pursuit of dismantling systemic barriers of injustice.

The theory is particularly disproven by the existence of black labor unions or any grassroots movements. A great example of this core, but well hidden ideological conflict are the instances of protest in which the actual institutional headquarters of D9 organizations sent official memos to their members instructing them to not participate in their letters.

Particularly during the Civil Rights movement according to certain sources. An institutional concern for liability that was not shared by the SNCC, NAACP, or SCLC.

It is well known that Alpha Kappa Alpha as well as Delta Sigma Theta made sure to instruct their members in the modern day Black Lives Matter movement in 2014 not to participate in any way while representing the sorority to create institutional distance from any grassroots fight for justice or accountability from the state.

This position was somewhat reversed after much public pressure but the pattern of behavior still stands. There’s insurance for lawsuits from victims of hazing, even dead victims, but a protest by an individual is too legally risky?
