In reply to the discussion: University of Alabama sororities are racist against blacks [View all]pintobean

I'm more inclined to side with someone who has lived as the victim of institutionalized racism. It boils down to whether one believes these girls. We can't go into their hearts and minds to find out. I guess Jen's less likely than you to accuse someone of racism and lying. Maybe she gives them the benefit of the doubt because they're actually trying to do something about the problem. Something more than whining about it anonymously on an internet message board and claiming a superior opinion.
