Georgia freemasons at loggerheads over admission of black man to lodge


www.guardian.co.uk
There is much about Freemasonry that remains shrouded in mystery to the outside world. But a group of members in the US state of Georgia appear to have clarified one thing - the supreme being in which all Masons are required to believe is not likely to be black.

Freemasonry lodges in Georgia are at loggerheads over the admission of a "non-white" member to an organisation that was founded on the principles of the Enlightenment but which is apparently still struggling to catch up

Freemasonry is an offshoot of the templars and the Cathars. They favor European blue bloods. Not only are blacks really not welcome most whites are not really welcome either ; most whites have some black blood in them. I suspect the freemasons will now segregate based on income and only allow blacks to join lodges in poorer neighborhoods. Blue bloods tend to be wealthy.

Some of those black lodges are separate by choice. Whites are not the only group to practice exclusion.

So what you are saying is that if a white person tried to gain entrance into the lodge they would be told to leave until a law suite was filed or what ever the common practice is with lodges?

Persecution of the Templars predates the Masons and the Jesuitts. The Templars after being kicked to the curb by the Catholic Church reformed themselves by dumping all monastic pretensions ;they became a preisthood which was allowed to marry. After the Catholic Church discovered they failed to destroy the Templars, the Jesuitts were formed as a counter balance.

racism in a factor in almost any organizatioin. you need to look at the location and the general mindset. I don't agree with racism and I especially don't think it has a place in masonry as men are supposed to be judged on their internal qualities and not their external. To me that would mean that if the guy was purple, but had some good ideas, he would be worth listening to. Unfortunately there are old folks who were brought up in a very segregated time, and some of them are masons. It doesn't make it right, but it is the way it is.
