And that is what is ridiculous. No one, as an earlier poster said, would have batted an eye had it been a black fraternity throwing a white trash party, but the minute that two kids who without thinking and I'd wager, without malicious intent, wore blackface to a PRIVATE party, they and their entire fraternity is branded racist by you and a few others on this board. Now that is idiotic.

You keep saying this mess about black fraternities/sororities and the hypothetical situation of their throwing a white trash bash..it has never happened and probably...a strong probably, won't. We don't do stuff like that. Our organizations aren't perfect, of course not, but we simply don't find that stuff entertaining. Our sensitivity levels do tend to be higher, and I would think understandibly, because of our history in America, so no, it isn't something we would do so you may as well drop that as an argument. How can you pose a hypothetical, an improbable one at that, as an argument against the views on something that has and does actually occur???
