well if it’s like our HS, now the pampered GA teens get to observe the cultural ritual of circles formed to hide chaperone eyes from kids dry humping (or worse)
aka “dancing” “Yo, you gotta problem wid my kid doin’ that?”
Trust me, having moved here from Wyo in the mid 90’s not really a shock. there were a few people here that were actual KKK members... seriously.
“I am surprised there are still communities that separate their parties.”
As long as the law treats them differently (in terms of affirmative action), I understand having separate parties. When I was in college big accounting firms would court the “National Association of Black Accountants” rather than the larger Accounting Society. If “whites need not apply” then I wouldn’t party with those for whom the jobs had been set aside, either.
It was always voluntary. The kids wanted different music, different decorations, different food. Wasn’t a big deal. Actually any student could go to either prom. It was a cultural choice, not a racist exclusion.
Not surprising. The South still has black colleges.
“... I am surprised there are still communities that separate their parties”.
I remember watching a cable show about a “first” integrated prom a few years back. I first thought it was satire.. showing the absurdity of a white prom and a black prom. Here’s my two cents and people can flame me all they want. When I gave birth to my two kids, there were black women giving birth around the same time... both babies were in the same nursery. My kids went to kindergarten with whites/blacks/asians/ fill in the blank. They go to school with all races and play sports with all races. They will work with different races. They eventually (and hopefully) die at an old age and be buried in integrated cemeteries. Heaven doesn’t have a white section and a black section. The concept of two dances is beyond stupid to me. The idea to telling these kids, “You can go to school with other races, play on the same teams, live in the same neighborhoods, attend the same churches BUT you will dance at a one race prom” is dated and ignorant. Just my two cents....
