I'm far from racist.... But from what I read in the initial post, I don't really see anything wrong with what they did...
- It was a hip-hop themed party, black folks have definately had a large influence in today's culture... So whats so wrong with that?
- It doesn't seem that they were discriminating in any way. Unless they were acting in a "stereotypical" way or in a way that suggests racisim, they're merely dressing for the theme of the party.
Now I can definately understand if they decided to show up as slaves or something distasteful and degrading like that... But come on... This seems like one of those far stretched issues where every single thing becomes 'racism'.
If you take an event, having racism in mind and looking for it, you're sure to find it... Seems now adays almost anything can be perceived as being racist or discriminating... People just need to chill and be more open minded when it comes to these things... (in my opinion)
You can totally disagree with me, and thats fine.. But theres my 2 cents... Thx!
