Very conservative when it comes to individual values but as you know, many people live conservative values but vote liberal. I wouldn't call the lodges 'very white', very diverse and one of the first fraternal groups to welcome members no matter their racial background.

Thank you for the excellent link.
Anyone else amused that Arkansas is one of the laggards in this regard?

According to the site, neither Bambi nor Biden are Masons. It looks like they are simply using the event that may have many brothers in town to have an assemblage and help raise a little money for their local charities.
What’s interesting in Arkansas not recognizing them is that Little Rock is a major hub of Prince Hall, with a museum dedicated to them.
OK. So they're doing it in honor of his race. Whatever. I guess. Freemasons aren't known for their non-member events.
In Pine Bluff the Price Hall lodge has bought a former Lowe’s store.
Party time!
Shows that widely-held perceptions can be quite wrong.
Many "minorities" are members and for a fact, my BIL always supports DEMONCRATS.
I'm guessing that this must have been planned for a couple of years and it would have been financially disasterous to have to cancel at this late date.
Difficult to tell ahead of time that the presidential candidate was going to end up being a usurping commie Manchurian candidate.
Nevertheless, I'm sure that the D.C. Lodge didn't get the memo or they are gambling that he will prove he is qualified to be president at the last minute. Nobody would be so stupid as to attempt to press into office as an unqualified candidate and think they could get away with it.
It exemplifies what Freemasonry is all about.
Jessie Jackson and Ed Rendell are Masons.
I’m completely offended that the Freemasons have chosen this ultra liberal black man to launch a first-ever event such as this. He would be blackballed by me. This is an outrage!
Kind of like the lodge on the Amos and Andy show
