How can Prince Hall be a clandestine lodge if they are considered a different organization? They only use these weasel words for one purpose-segregation. Not liking blacks is one thing, but these guys have proved themselves. They ARE Masons. They are just not welcome in many U.S. lodges. We should just call it what it is. Racism pure and simple. No Mason should be disciplined for visiting a Prince Hall lodge. In fact, the racist brother should be the one disciplined for practicing "apartheid" policies. There is no way this behaviour is Masonic. There is no legitimate rule within the Masonic process that would preclude a black man from joining one of our lodges. At least not since 1863 when Abe Lincoln made the Emancipation Proclamation. The problem is there are some Masons, and it's hard to fathom how they are even Masons, that are still living in the pre-1863 era.

As long as they are "freeborn," of good character and report, the prescribed age, believe in the Supreme Being and have no criminal record they have every right to petition ANY Masonic lodge. Sadly, some Grand lodges in the U.S. have been perverted with hate, which is hardly brotherly love. We need more strong and true Masons like M.W. Bro. Haas. The others are doing great harm to our organization since they subscribe to hate rather than brotherly love, yet they go undisciplined. It is due time for this to change. Stand up for what you know to be right brethren and do not allow hateful "brothers" to ruin Freemasonry.
