    AKA is pretty good about dismantling a chapter in the wake of the dumbasses who did a pledging "ritual" of blindfolding pledges and binding them together (somehow, I'm not sure what they did to link them) and letting them fend for themselves in the OCEAN. That was in Cali back in like 2007-ish and I believe two girls

    No they don't. AKA here and while some rogue chapter might still do this shit, most of them do not. Many of my line sisters and overall sorors were dark-skinned black women.

    I participated and by participated I mean I am an AKA. This directive doesn't surprise me in the least because most of the leadership is not only old as hell but conservative as well. Unless the local chapters are run by younger people, most times the feel of the organization is similar to an old-school baptist

    Don't give a fuck. Don't give a fuck. Don't give a fuck.

    Don't give a fuck :)

    I didn't say she was worth less. I said as a result of her doing nothing most of the time during this triangle, referencing her in writing was hard. Writing about this multiple times per week, you can only say "Chris Brown's girlfriend....aspiring model...part time clothing designer" so many time before you literally

    Okay, I'm not sure that I buy into that because Rihanna is very much not built like Kae. But, I remember when Kae did this "sexy" spread in some magazine (because FINALLY I had some shit to reference that she was actually doing apart from this triangle) and the pictures seriously looked like she was playing dress up

    I explained it. Also, I'm sure everyone else will take the other three to task.

    Can I just say how much I cannot stand Karrueche? Because I don't. I get why she dated Chris Brown (who I don't like either), but she was like the most basic bitch to end all basic bitches. Not because of her look (she's gorgeous) or her dating Brown. But, because she didn't seem to get that of the four, one of these

    If they were more like Beyonce's back-up dancers/band. She has assembled together mostly women and if a media outlet wanted to do some press with them, I'm sure they'd have to jump through hoops to clear it due to contract stipulations, they would more than likely be able to speak about their time touring with

    No more is it for white people to fucking whitewash it and claim it as theirs. So my goddamn point is that IF IT HAD TO BE DEFINED BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE IT'S IN AFRICA SO DAMMIT, BLACK WINS.

    This is why I said if they HAD to choose and then qualified my statement further in saying that given any option almost all Egyptian people identify as...Egyptian. (as they should).

    I agree. Which is why I said if they HAD to identify with something and they ONLY were given the choice of white or black, most would say black. However, outside of that narrow description, they don't identify as either. Nor should they have to.

    Oh, plenty of "scholars" have tried their hardest to separate Egypt from Africa simply due to the sheer amount of culture and civilization that has originated from the area. We can't have anyone thinking that people in that region had ANYTHING to do with the advancement of the human race.

    I know. I didn't mean to imply that you did. Sorry.

    Sure. That's fine. That's still not white, which they clearly WERE NOT. My original statement called for casting that is representative of the region. Be that Middle Eastern or Egyptian or other. Just not white because white people didn't fucking live there back then, and if they did, they weren't in droves enough to

    Neither do I. They say their Egyptian. That's why I qualified the statement with "if they HAD to choose" because based on the ones I've known, they don't at all identify with white people or culture. Hell, they don't identify with black culture either, but based on their experience, esp if they grew up in Egypt and

    Middle Easterners? No. North Africans? Yes. Maybe not to the rest of the world as history books and documentaries talk about Egypt as if it's NOT IN GODDAMN AFRICA, but I promise you, if they absolutely had to choose they'd say black and not white. However, if given another option, they'd say, you know Egyptian

    Not going to see this shit. At the very least, these mutherfuckers could be true to the look of the goddamn region and cast people who are North African or Middle Eastern. Aside from the fact that I think most of the stuff reported as happening (burning bush, parting of the red sea) is false, the LEAST they could do
