Before we begin, let me just make this clear: This thread is NOT intended for conspiracy theories, bashing, or any other ill intent. This thread is created to be an avenue for those who are curious to learn more about freemasonry from those who are already masons, or just to toss around links of useful information.
With that said, I have a question:
What are the major differences between Black and White masonry? Do they generally accept each other inside and outside of the privacy of their own lodges?
Also, what are the difference between the first 3 degrees?

In the North, White lodges will recognize Prince Hall Affliated Lodges, where in the South, they don't. Prince Hall is the only legit so called black mason. whats funny is masonry promotes brotherhood, but them cats in the south is not.
Also, what are the difference between the first 3 degrees
you get your first degree the first nightn you show up. the entered apprentice degree, , and your lecture and obligation, and shown the working tools of a EA., sign,grips, and passwords. you must study and know it word for word to be able to show proficiency
in about 2 months, you will have to show and prove you mastered the 1st degree, and once you do, the lodge will then open on the fellowship degree, and the same applies
one month later, you will have to show profiency once again. and if you and your cable tow(equivalent of pledge line) pass, then its all good, you will be raised to the sublime level degree of master mason.
sit back and watch the show, and dont be afraid of the goat
