Can we all try to avoid making sweeping generalisations like the one about souther US states? It doesnt serve any purpose and only serves to further division, which fremasonry definitiely isn't about.
Thank you, please continue....

Masons do not exist for the Craft. What is this thought pattern that seems to really believe Freemasonry exists only to perpetuate Freemasonry? It is clear that it is there as most work done within the Craft is to perpetuate the fraternity rather than actually work as our ritual supposedly teaches.
Freemasonry is not now, nor has it ever been, nor will it ever be a controlled monolithic structure. If a Grand Lodge pushes too hard alternatives will arise. Alternatives such as new Grand Lodges, different orders, an older Grand Lodge coming in and chartering lodges etc etc. One cannot force a mind.

sorry about sweeping generalisations, but it is only a select few "southern GL" where the brethren have yet to majority wide vote to recognise their black counterparts, that the rest of the world is willing to basically recognise. So, I apologise if I make sweeping genralisations to the southern racists GL's... if it smells like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck , IT IS A DUCK. so if your GL refuses recognition to a legit, regular PHA GL, then y'all are ducks.
