Recent college parties mocking black stereotypes spark outrage

[ladygreek]

^^^^To be 38 years old, you sure are naive about a lot of things. Regarding your statement about Europe I have an example that contradicts that. My half brother (product of my father and a German woman during WWII--and yes I am that old) was subjected to racism his whole young life. It was not until he became a national soccer star that he was finally "accepted." To this day he would not tolerate a racist joke.

And ditto what Chaos said about misinterpreting Dr. King's sentiments. I heard them directly.

BTW, it was just reported in today's paper that a "liberal" college here had a theme party on Jan. 16 where folx dressed in black face and wore afro wigs. It is being seriously investigated, and campus-wide meetings are being held.

Do you not find suspicion in the timing of these parties?

Lastly, I have a 36 year old daughter who gets it. I wonder why you don't.
