Freemasonry seeks to make "Good Men Better". It is not a haven for redemption or rehabilitation for those who have strayed from society norms and codes for acceptable behavior within society. This is not a place for the thief, murderer, drug dealer, child molester, absentee parent, or one who perpetuate domestic violence within his household. Most importantly, it is not a place for "Niggers"! "Ni**er" yes the "N" word, which many associate this word with African people however this word is universal and can be applied to anyone or any ethnic group. Unfortunately, those that I am in constant communication with are African American and therefore this metaphor would be applied to some who I have met, heard about or known for quite some time. When one allows "Niggers" to enter the realm of Freemasonry, many problems occur. Those that for some odd reason end up elected to these major positions in the organization put the group at risk of being totally dysfunctional and unorganized. In my personal experience, I have witnessed men who would be characterized as "Niggers" left the Lodge in financial ruins. Some "Niggers" Niggers" who preside over Masonic houses, run their house like they do their home very f****d up! These same "Niggers" have allowed more "Niggers" into our ranks only to act as leeches or to see what they can take but not give back.
