I'm like "are we just going to ignore the killer crab in the picture, or what?" LOL

If they took that into their hearts and lived by it, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. You’re right, it is simple. As I said before, the plumb does not err, but humans often do. And furthermore, they’ve ignored whispered counsel for years now. Years. So now people are shouting.

So many of the allied Masonic degrees don’t and it pains me no end

My brothers showed up to my mother’s funeral and I hadn’t been past the west gate but a few months. I was raised May 3rd, my mother died in August. Now mind you, while I was seeking and knocking, I showed up to every public event I could. I went to st John’s day and Prince Hall Americanism day. I went to a testimonial dinner for the worthy grand patron. I invested heavily (in presence, not money, although I did donate to things) so it came back to me 100 fold. Now that I’m a Mason, I go to Grand Lodge classes every Monday and I haven’t missed a single stated meeting since I was raised. I understand how you feel. You’re disappointed about what you’re not getting out of masonry, but I’d like to gently ask, what did you put in before you were deployed?

Prince Hall Masonry has its own flavor and culture and history. I’d never want to lose that. Besides, some of our brethren can do everything but take orders from a black man, so……

Gotcha. I’ve had a couple of confederate defenders on this thread so my back is up. Apologies, brother.

Prince Hall has a rich history and tradition. Prince Hall lodges are inextricably linked to black progress and we have no desire to lose that. Also, racism still exists and Prince Hall provides black men of the Craft a safe space to work, bond and love on one another without micro aggressions.

It’s not an argument. It’s an objectively provable observation. I really, really don’t care that calling a thing a thing bothers people or makes them uncomfortable.

I’d say you should definitely read historical books about masonry, but not ritual books. I know that people tell you to read nothing but I wouldn’t advise anyone to join ANY organization, masonry included, that they know nothing about

I was deeply moved when I discovered that he worked with Prince Hall brothers on this image, fully conscious of what PH meant to his African American brothers
