Unfortunately, yes. That is why you had the response from the Afrikan Student Organization and the University.
Had there not been the recent incidents I listed, then this party from APhi would not even register as a blip on anyone's radar. BUT, since there have been all of these racially involved incidents, then *any*thing that even hints of negative racial involvement is magnified.

You said upthread that the treatment these women are receiving is comparable to that of those who are unjustly incarcerated. I find the comparison faulty, but for the sake of discussion, what do you think should happen when those unjustly incarcerated people are found to have done nothing wrong? Do you think those responsible for the incarceration/damage to reputation owe the incarcerated person an apology? If so, what do you think these women are owed in response to their undeserved condemnation?

These women would be owed an apology. But if the evidence hangs on the picture of the chapter members that was posted, it would not be hard for someone to try to connect their appearance in the photo with other photos of white people in blackface. It is too close for comfort. And as I told DTDAlum, interpretation of the photo is completely subjective.
