Yep, chalk it up to being the longest and bloodiest war never fought in Asia, and ending with the last man standing.
Take THAT, Vezzini!!
How's being clever working for you know?

To join the Masons you must meet three criteria:
1.) You must be freeborn. No man IS a slave or IS indentured may be a Mason.
2.) You must NOT TALK ABOUT THE MASONS (however, talking TO a mason is acceptable, but only about topics OTHER THAN MASONS).
3.) You must BE a mason - that is, you must be a stoneworker of the most LITERAL TYPE - you must work with stones and rocks and use them to build something that benefits mankind.
Addendum:
A.) No, "getting stoned" does NOT COUNT.
B.) No, "public stoning of self or others" does NOT COUNT.
C.) Yes, digging rocks out of the ground for your own amusement DOES COUNT, so long as you had a good time doing it (please see "Stir of Echoes" starring Kevin Bacon).

Actually, a good litmus test to see if someone has been a slave is to see if they'll buy a slave themselves - anyone who has BEEN ENSLAVED AND EVENTUALLY FREED would NEVER BUY ANOTHER SLAVE.
To test to see if the person IS still a slave, ask them to do something unreasonable and observe how they react.

Yes, as I recall the theory is they found confirmation of a...non-traditional...theory of the beginnings of Christianity, and the answer to the Grail myth.
Isn't it also true that the Templars were declared to be "a law unto themselves" by Innocent II?

Interestingly enough, though, the origin of the superstition surrounding Friday the 13th is that that is the day on which the Templars were rounded up and the Pope attempted to destroy them. IIRC, at least.
To get back to the Freemasons, though, do they believe (as an organization) in what the Templars are alleged to have found under Solomon's Temple? And, isn't Paganism (NOT devil worship, that isn't the implication) associated with Masonry?

The Templars were supposed to have discovered evidence that is contradictory to the beliefs of the Christian Church. That is, Jesus was not divine, Jesus was married, Jesus did not die on the cross, Jesus had and has descendants, Jesus wrote his own Gospel, and things of this nature. At least this is the story that I've heard, although I'm certainly no Mason or Templar.

Seriously, is that just their way of excluding blacks, or is there a more obscure reason?
Not that I've ever heard of. The association goes back to the formation of the Knights Templar and the Crusades (Please don't confuse this for Masonic support of the Crusades). The Templars excavated the area of the Temple of Solomon and found...uh...certain things shall we say(so the "rumor" goes).
