Georgia high school students to host whites-only prom? WTF!?<<Update: O'Reilly rips our governor a new one>>

[SuperTool]

I gather this is a private, not school sanctioned event. If public funds aren't used, you can invite whoever you want based on anything you want.

NO not ever

What about if a group of women wanted to have an all-female group? Would that be acceptable

A all female group? Do you have any comprehension of the difference between a plublic school and just a group?

Why are you defending raceism? A neo nazi skinhead maybe? I notice that you speak "you all"

Bleep

Damn...watch out, now, it's y'all, anyways...a real southerner would know that. a neo-nazi because someone uses y'all? Geeze...I know what he's talking about. He's referring to what we had in high school...an all-black club, when it would be ludicrous to even discuss having an all-white club.

They could have had a KKK member prom for all I care.

Yes, thank you. This is what I was referring to.

My high school also had "African American only" clubs. They were by blacks, for blacks only.

I did not think this was right. To me it seems that such clubs are racist, just as an "all white" club would be. To me, excluding certain people due to their skin color is not acceptable.

Where did you go to school? We had an "African American" club at my HS, but it focused on black history and you could join up even if you weren't black (there were some asians and whites in there).

Did you also have a European American club that focused on white history?

 

[everman]

Well they're free to do so just like the kkk, and this isn't far off from that really. I find it utterly rediculous, are they totally oblivious to civil rights history and what the rest of the nation sees them as?

Strange, indeed....

Burlington City HS, in Burlington City, NJ

I don't know if the "official" rules stated no whites, but there were no whites in it, and whites were definitely not welcome hanging around their meetings.

There's a difference between the school's rules, and the student's rules. Maybe if you went to the principal and asked to join you could, but you could expect to get your ass beat. My school was pretty violent, especially being in the early 90's with gangsta rap all the rage. Lots of dudes that sold crack IN the school. People would just walk into the school from the outside, and in my class I had a dude who I thought was in my class, but he was just a dropout who hung around his friend which was in my class. Kinda funny at the time.

 

[Train]

there were all black proms at my HS and all black Formals at my College, no one thought any thing of it.

kinda messed up how racism is a one way street in America isnt it?

I drove by an NAACP office today, thought it was kinda lame that theres a "National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples" umm, why not an Association for the Advancement of ALL peoples? especially when they claim to be so "diverse"

 

[BurnItDwn]

That is F***ing BullS***
WTF is wrong with those people.

 

[classy]

LOL. And just think of all the stuff many here say when I and few others still talk about the racism and still the need for programs like AA. Just think here it is 2003 and they had their first integrated prom last year. Last YEAR.

I think we should operate on a policy of crushing and getting rid of racism, not creating racism to "counteract" racism. That is the problem I have with AA.

I've always wanted to start a couple of fictional caucasion(sp?) organizations similiar to the NAACP and UNCF. After starting them and watching people get all fired up, I'd point to the NAACP & UNCF and walk away.

If you think Southern GA is indicative of a majority of people's feelings, you are lost. The only place where racism still exists is in uneducated or bigoted people. After all, Classy you tend to threaten people if they don't agree with you.

 

[Looney]

Wow, i seriously didn't think such things even existed anymore... guess i'm more naive than i thought.

What amazes me is that you see no problem with labeling people nor making stereotypes about southerners. Pot meet kettle.

We have African American Clubs, American Clubs, Various Asian American Clubs... and anybody could join anything.

This is just embarassing. One more thing for the rest of the country to point at Georgia and say "See? They are a bunch of inbred racist rednecks!"

Same thing was going on in Wedowee County in SE Alabama. The Governor finally had to put a stop to it. It is absolutely ludicrous in this day and age that crap like this goes on. Then again, it is indicative of the crappy schools in Southern MS, AL, and GA.

Oh man, what a limp wristed hippy....

You took my question and twisted it all around to suit your skewed thoughts.

First of all, if you want to offend me, at least spell the insults correctly. What's "raceism"???? And WTF is a "plublic school"??? No, I guess I DO NOT have any comprehension of what a "plublic school" is.

And no, I do not support what they're doing. Nowhere in my post did I even hint that I think it's right. You just ASSumed that I did, and you ASSumed incorrectly.

It was an assumption based on a Brainless question on your part. The only thing limp wristed in this thread is your attempt to make this into a Liberal vs Conservative issue. Niether view is based on Racism though there are racist in both camps.

On the contrary small "mill". Most of you guys talk down on minorities here, except Asians. I have never seen a thread ever that gave minorities some credit here. They are always negative. And generally possess info from people that
A. Never even talk to a black person
B. Never even talk to a minority
C. Second hand knowledge that they heard from their cousin's, brother's, mother's, uncle.
D. How can a group of people talk about another group of people without bias objectively when they only talk to people who look and believe like them.

Case in point I hear all the bs bad stuff about AA but never ever hear any of the good. Hmmmmm.

AA has the potential to do good. And it has probably done good. But I still think it is a wrong policy, because it is based on race. I refuse to believe that such a thing as race exists.
