LOL@ktsnake. I'm sorry but I have read too much of your apologetic rhetoric for these people and none of the arguments make any sense. The BSA students, although had I been a member I would have argued against posting such posters, were depicting those idividuals as KKK members because it was blackface that the kkk and their friends, supporters, etc etc etc. did to mock and belittle black people, when, I might add, the people couldn't do anything about it. WELL, now something can be done about it and I DO NOT think there would be a strong civil rights case that could be made in those peoples' defense. I believe that the civil rights defense case would, instead, be made on behalf of the black students who had to experience such actions on the PUBLIC university campus. This is one of the intended purposes of all of the civil rights laws that have come down throughout this nation's history including the Fourteenth Amendment: to protect previously oppressed people and those that have been discriminated against from people JUST LIKE THIS.
There is a case that was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1927 where the repondents approached the issue from the same standpoint that you are trying to present and it was put down. I will try to find it...it was Shelly v. ??? You will get even more of a basis for why I feel your side of the argument is faulty and wouldn't stand in the eyes of a civil rights sensitive court.
