Damn. How could I forget about him? I was thinking mostly about polymaths though.

I'll be honest. I did see the movie a while back and it sort of changed my perception of the dance, especially considering just how seriously people take it and how important it is for them.

yea, that movie.lightless_shado said:
Now every time I hear an E-40 song (Go Hard or Go Home, Barbarian, Tell Me When To Go, etc.), I get the spirit deep down to Crump. Thanks in large part to this movie and a few dance groups I've seen on shows like America's Best Dance Crew (MTV).

J. Ernest Wilikins Jr
Credentials:
1. Considered a Negro Genius in the late 1930's.
2. Obtained his Bachelors of Science in Mathematics at age 17.
3. Obtained his Masters of Science at age 18.
4. Obtained his doctorate in Mathematics at the age of 19 from the University of Chicago.
5. Contributed to the Manhattan Project while still in his very early twenties...
^ This is just scrapping the surface of his full resume!!!
As a university student right now, this guy just puts me to shame.......
This all happened before the civil rights movement, so the added pressure pushed on him to fail just boggles the mind....

Well a bunch of black people talking about being black isnt a bad thing. Relating to similar experiences and discussing all things that makes black culture awesome isnt a bad thing.From The Dust said:
Especially with the images some people get about black people from the media its a good thing to let it be known were not just a bunch of stereo types.
My first year at college oh the things I heard.
"Your black so you should be a republican because Lincoln freed the slaves"
"Wow both your parents graduated college"
"You dont sound black at all"

I never said it was a bad thing, I just thought that was a little mundane. it's possible that having no experience with situations due to race skewered my view of such topics like this.
even when I lived in Mississippi, I never had problems (my parents on the other hand have). the closest I ever came was some dude going off about police. he lived in an area where police harassment practicly doesn't exist. hell, chances are, you'd get pulled over by a black cop before a white cop. such fun times back in high school.

They are not all from NY state, and upstate NY is not NYC. A lot of the people were from Boston area.
The granddaughter of the head of Texas Instruments was 2 doors down from me. I remember when I told her the average family lived on like 30,000 a year she wouldn't believe me. LOL

If Blasians and sweet potato pie doesn't get you interested then I bid you good day sir.
I remember my first year of college in the student lounge. This super aggressive ghetto broad arguing with this brother. Her screaming that she can't stand those who act white and you can pretty much sum up the rest.
Another story, I was on a blind date with this German girl. "Wow, you don't speak black". I stood up and walked out. No response, no nothing. The date was going great before that comment. Damn, that chick had a beautiful ass.

You'd be correct. No roo'ing here. A bit of ape-walking, perhaps.F@mous said:

That is pretty cool. I'm the first greek anything in my family.....West Indian descent. But my current girlfriend and previous college gf were both Akas....I actually stole my current girlfriend from an Alpha(lols). But Pan-Hellenic love all day.
On a side note....every experience I've had with dating a white girl has been slightly offensive but you just have to suck it up and realize the world isn't a utopia. The first white girl I talked to (slept with) was from Iowa. I was there for a summer program for students interested in law school...she was like you're not like other black guys. haha, i was thinking wtf is that supposed to mean but her ass was delicious so I didn't speak up.

I actually founded the Pan-Hellenic Council at Michigan some years back, so my greek love runs deep.F@mous said:
Which is interesting considering how many single-letter chapters there are at Michigan. Nevertheless, I was the founder and first President.
and lol @ shatching my bruhs women! stop that!
another random fact: there were no AKAs (on suspension for what had been about 10 years at that point) on the yard when I was there, so the Alphas and Deltas were the tightest, much to the chagrin of the Omegas. Like, they were genuinely mad and pouted on several occasions. lol. "Fire & Ice" indeed.
and man...they were fine as hell. their only competition was Rho's, which basically means there was no competition. The AKAs have since returned, so DST is comparatively homlier now than in my days on the yard...but I promise they were glorious back then.
Another interesting note: several of those DSTs have since renounced their letters citing religious conflicts. Not sure what they do in their rituals, but they don't seem to square well with everyone.

lols its not surprising to me that you guys and the Deltas got along. In the Morehouse-Spelman scene, we meshed way better with the Spelman Akas than with their Deltas.....some of my prophytes had said some obscene stuff to them a few years ago and the beef persists. The Alphas and the Deltas were always buddy buddy but we owned the Ks. We threw several parties with them. One of the Ks was even our unofficial pearl (she rocked purple and gold more than pink and green).
But good sir, the Akas from Clark Atlanta University, which was right across the yard, were incredible. I'd wager they outdid the ones you speak highly about. Straight models. Each and every one of them.
To all those who went to elementary/middle/high school with white people.
Didn't you hate when you had a fresh haircut and the white person would say...."but you don't have any hair!"
the worst.
That's cool man. Though I loved college.....didn't really care for "Morehouse" as an institution. And they dicked me on my law school recommendations....but I still got into a great law school without em.
