BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – The allegations of segregation and discrimination in the University of Alabama's greek system are the highest form of hypocrisy, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said.


"Alabama is now No. 1 in the country and it is hypocritical to cheer the boys on on Saturday afternoon and lock the sisters out of the sorority on Monday," Jackson said in an interview Friday afternoon. "The school should come down hard on those sororities."

Jackson said he draws hope from several young sorority members who stood up to protest racism within their organizations and had the courage to speak out, despite threats from alumnae and advisers.



Glad to see those girls speaking out.

Two all-white fraternities at Auburn, Delta Sigma Phi and Beta Theta Pi, have been temporarily suspended by University administration for vicious racial hatred at this year’s Halloween party. Costumes included a hooded and robed Klansman, several white students in blackface, some wearing the shirts of a national Black fraternity, Omega Psi Phi, and one wearing blackface and a noose around his neck.

It's a short trip from Bham. There are a lot of the civil rights folks here in town for the 50th anniversary of the church bombing.

why is black face considered offensive? Doesn't Dave Chappelle don white make-up often regular on his show? I understand the big white lips and everything but everyone was all up in arms about the little boy who went to school as MLK...

Why are they trying to join White sororities? How many White girls are trying to join Black sororities?

P.S. Jesse Jackson can suck on George Wallace's dead meat log.

Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison Wednesday for illegally spending $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items, the judge scolding the son of the famed civil rights leader for using the money as a "piggy bank" and sentencing his wife to a year as well.

If they weren't "White sororities", Jesse Jackson wouldn't be there. If a White girl was denied entrance to a "Balc sorority", he wouldn't be there either. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ People congregate with similar people, been happening for centuries.

The Auburn incident was 2001. the traditional white sororities have had black members. Auburns record is not what it should be, but that does not excuse Alabama. Deflect, deflect, deflect
