OK now that Prince Hall also a co-founder of the African American Methodist Church, had an official charter racist tried to **** him and burned down several lodges in an attempt remove the proof that these African American Lodges of free men , before the civil war were legitimate. After finally destroying the American copy because what they did not know is that in England there was the original, which still exist. Men living in fear started changeing the names of their lodges so they would not be burned out which some splinter cells. Other form of non- Prince Hall Masons are those who wanted become the leader of a lodge for power purposes so they went out and constructed a self made charter and they are considered clandestine, flugaze', fake, without legitimate permission or charter. So where you become a mason needs to be carefully researched because if you are not Prince hall or you are a part of affiliate lodge of Prince Hall you may find yourself being ignored. Now there are many debates between white lodges in America as to how they should handle the seperate lodges in America and I should say ther are plenty of white Prince Hall Mason but moslty through the military. White lodges dont want to desegregate just yet and they refuse to give up any money or power so until the older more racist members die the younger masons speak cordially and wait for a new day which slowly coming. We recognize each other now but, there is no visitation of lodges or open discourse occuring unless you are friends.
If you were a young black male or any race male who believes in ahigher power and of lawful age and free born, you need to be recommended by a Master Mason who knows you good enough to vouch fo your character/females also. Find them and the journey begins.
There is no organization no matter how secret or powerful that is founded upon a more solid moral base. Collegiate fraternities were meant for college but masonry was meant for full grown men to endure for life time. It is at the least the next level but can be too deep for some to phathom. Parts of it have been scavenged not just by Greeks but everybody, to include the military, the boy scouts and girl scouts, the entire society to keep it short. Greeks need bear no jealousy because their founders used there best source of knowledge for creating their orgs. However it is humbling to know that that which you treasure is only 1% of the full picture. Most highly developed Masons stop laughing after their 2nd year, but every once and a while I still get a kick out of watching the kids play with my toys all the kids P/R's too. My colors, My grips, My signs, My words, My information, My dress, my everything. But there is a lesson in it all...
