There will not be a Kentucky Derby party at Dartmouth College this year because some students allege that one of the nations most prestigious horse races is racist.
And fair warning before reading further you might want to make a batch of Mint Juleps. Youre going to need it.
Back in 2015, a group of Black Lives Matter protestors targeted an exclusive Kentucky Derby party hosted by the ladies of Kappa Delta Epsilon calling the event overtly racist and recreating an Antebellum South atmosphere on the Ivy League campus.
The protestors accused the party of being a bastion of racism, exclusion and oppression. They chanted, What is Derby? Its the face of genocide and What is Derby? Its the face of police brutality.
I searched The New York Times archives and could find no evidence of police brutality at the Derby nor could I find any evidence of ethnic cleansings.
I can only imagine the angst and soul searching among the fragile Ivy League snowflakes as they contemplated the grave offense they had caused to the perpetually-offended, hashtag protesters.

The darkies are gay, or at least were. Maybe that’s the problem?
I hate Black Nazis.
Kentucky Derby is offensive to horses, particularly black horses. #blackhorselivesmatter
PC = totalitarianism
Why can’t we stipulate that everything and everyone is racist? The next question would be, “So what?”
Did someone complain about the Lawn Jockey?
I’d like to meet these kids in about 40 years to see if they ever grew up.
“Why cant we stipulate that everything and everyone is racist? The next question would be, So what?

Most do not grow up
This is not an era where Jerry Rubin saw the light in the 70s
These red millenials are multi generation freaks who thankfully breed very little
They’ll be the ones ‘taking care of us’. Ponder that. *shiver*
I had to change my name from John Lockey because it was considered racist.
It requires expensive schooling at a leftist college.
How can that be? Just about every horse who has ever won the Kentucky Derby has been brown.
What is abundantly clear to anyone paying attention is that Liberals are creating a society that is every bit as oppressive as that under Stalin and Mao. In all seriousness the Left is not far removed from creating another killing fieds. I sincerely believe they are only being restrained for a short while longer and will not hesitate to begin the killings under the right circumstances.
In the Civil War, the racist Army of Northern Virginia discriminated against black horses by subjugating them and using them for their cavalry.
I think we should duct tape these idiots in chairs and make them watch Blazing Saddles until their heads explode.
My wife who is a Louisville native and a Kentucky Colonel and reckons the age of her cats according to Derby Day is going to love this.

It’s just bullying. They’re doing it because they can.
