So what are you saying? What are you suggesting these black people would do about it?

i'm saying that they should do it so that everyone could be involved in the fun and partying. why would "these black people" do anything?

Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what you meant.

Is there a reason he wouldn't type what he meant?

for some reason, tom seems to think that would incite violence. i don't know why anyone would want to fight over something if they weren't going to be offended in the first place.

sounds like a party that everyone should join in.

I'm thinking of a list of "acceptable" themes:

NASCAR race

Dukes of Hazzard

Biker Convention

Local tacky nightclub.

Star Trek Convention

More upscale ideas:

If you are north of the Mason/Dixon line: Macon, Georgia Junior League Dance

If you are south of the Mason/Dixon line: New Jersey Country Club.

People would still get upset by these things. For instance, the stereotype of bikers is rough, fighting, biker gang types. I know of a "biker group" who frequents a local coffee shop... the group includes bankers, teachers, parents, grandparents, etc. BY FAR anything but your stereotypical bikers. Every one of those will upset someone.
