'Black-Face' College Party Causes Controversy
Critics Say Party Was Racist
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- A party held by some Clemson University students two weeks ago is causing controversy after pictures taken at the event ended up on the Internet.
Some students say it was just for fun. Others say that it was racist.
The party was held the day before the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. The theme of the party was "Living the Dream," but some Clemson students are calling it a nightmare.
Pictures of the party were posted on facebook.com, showing at least one person in black-face paint, with others dressed in knitted caps and jerseys and some girls with stuffing padding their pants to make their behinds look larger. There's an image of party-goers holding 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor.
The Web site The Smoking Gun reported that similar parties were held at both the University of Connecticut and Tarleton State University in Texas.
