So why do masons have secret ways to acknowledge each other and to tell each other they are masons?

WTF are you going on about? There is no secret freaking handshake.
Yes some do get tatoos or something but you can't have them on your arm or other place easily viewed, normally on the back or chest.
But it isn't like you go to a grocery store, flash your mark and get all your groceries for free, that is Anti-Mason BS.

I have never heard of any handshake except from people who aren't Masons. No Mason I have ever known has had a freaking handshake.
And the tatoo thing around here anyways is in no easily seen place. So no Sightless Eye on the forehead.
And I admit if you belong to the same lodge you might be able to get things at discount like a doctors visit if you go to one that is a fellow lodge member but it isn't treating a Lodge Member better then a non-Mason it is giving a friend a discount.
So no damn handshake that I have ever heard/seen/done. It is just anti Mason BS, most members know each other because they are of the same lodge, they don't need a damn handshake to know who is who. It would be like needing a secret handshake so your dad or best friend know you are you, it doesn't make sense.

Yeah I understand the background of the secrecy, but why the need for it now. Why not just let anyone who asks know and ask openly of others?
And please, do not think I am in the 'Masons will eat my children' club. I'm just wondering.
The fact that they're widely available on the internet makes secrecy a sham, doesn't it?

Not ALWAYS though, right?
I mean, you haven't kept them completely secret, right?

are they racist masons in lodges (ie: down south)? honest question, browses that page and just going off looks alone some of these men appear to have been around when racism was(is) prominent.
