this is ridiculous

[tall boy]

this is getting to the point that the same things are being said over and over again. I have just found this website and i cant believe all of these posts about this. The pikes personally apologized to the people that showed up to the party that was offended and suspended the people that did it. Other miscellaneous actions were also taken but thats not important. What people fail to realize is that greek organizations have parties all the time. Most of the parties are theme parties. If a black organization were to have a theme party about scandanavian people and dressed up in white face, do you honestly think it would make the news. I highly doubt it. I understand that black people were oppressed and some feel like even today they are still oppressed and in some situations i agree they are. But black face was a tactic used in the 1920's ro discriminate. I think that the best thing i have heard about the subject was on the tough crowd with colin quin when he said that it was almost like a popular thing these days to be black. More so than ever. These guys were not putting black people down. They were simply trying to say this one thing. It was a straight out of compton theme and to the surprise of few, Very many successful black males have come from compton and become rich. Why then if you are idolizing a certain genre of music are you racist or a bigot. I feel they were more trying to go with the costume and possibly just possibly idolize some of the great rappers that have come from there(i.e. dre) Who says that everything has to be negative why cant it be something positive. Maybe back then it was used negatively but who says that they were following those footsteps. Who says they werent trying to make there own footsteps, by saying how people no longer look at black people in discrimnation but more as idolization. Heck i wish i was a famous rapper or basketball player, black white or indifferent. It was handled by the fraternity and with all of this childish arguing and fighting all we have done is segregated ourselves even more. Congrats.
