If this is a FACT then they are idiots. If this can be PROVEN then they should be chastised and disciplined.

If you are just ASSUMING this theme because you saw Kappas with popped collars and loafers on, then you're in for a debate.

Any questions?

No, they shouldn't be chastised and disciplined.

It's not a big deal. If they want to finally dress nicely, I'm all for it. That'd be great!

Who really cares anymore. I mean, if you're offended, be offended. Stereotypes are real, and there is a degree of truth to them. These are just some stupid kids having fun. Obviously they find things enjoyable about stereotypical black culture or else they wouldn't have a party for it. I mean, dressing up is pretty lame, but a lot of people drink corona and eat mexican on cinco de mayo. If we had a white holiday, yall could get drunk listening to Huey Lewis and go play golf. I know its different with black people because the history is distinct, but when people have white trash dress up parties, I don't think "they're making fun of me." I'm not really defending them, I don't really care. However, I think its good for people to realize that just because they're making fun of a group of people composed of your race, doesn't mean they're making fun of the race itself. I just wish this crap wouldn't end up on drudge report every time it happens.

The point is why do it all--there are other themes, there are other things you can celebrate. Why is it necessary for anyone to make fun of anyone? Its not--these are young adults, they do know better, and this is just plain stupid.

As far as saying that other cultures do it so it should be ok for us to do it--I know its cliched but "stupid is as stupid does."

Oh, My!

You are a heretic according to PCness!


How can you even think about saying something like this?

who cares? there wouldn't even be a news article if no one cared. sounds pretty logical, right? you're white so really, the feelings of people of color aren't exactly something you'd understand anyway.

don't get offended when someone calls you ignorant, bigoted, racist, ect. i think it's funny when people want to make fun of other cultures and/or people and then get mad when they called any of the above.

I rarely get offended. I do think it'd be stupid to call me bigoted or racist. I won't put it past you, however.

Amazing isn't it?

When I posted that my chapter had black members, they were called tokens.

When I said I had black friends, they were also tokens.

When I told a friend of mine a KAPsi to check out the GC, he flat told me these people are ignorant and have not a damn clue! He has nevr come back on since! Wonder why?

Oh, shinerbock, they a call everyone who does not agree with them the same thing!
