And for all I know she could be part of a girls gang at the school, too! You see the best in things I guess; I don't because I've seen what the constant influence of the rap culture does. On the other hand, I wasn't suggesting that the KKK was something to be lauded, either. You, by the same token that you are inclined to believe the black girl is "Sunday-go-to-meeting Church Pure" could be just as wrong in the assumption. The dress-up scheme could have been poor humor (have you ever seen South Park and the social plays they put on?) Your 'line-in-the-sand' these days tends only to be for PC for whites to not offend blacks; they appear, through the movies, music, television, and every other venue to have full immunity from question about what they feel, say, or do simply because they are black. It is a double-double standard, pure and simple. Regardless, nice discussion of ideas, though. Thanks for not making cracks (which force equal responses) about one's intelligence.

I love South Park. And I am completely against hip-hop culture. Don't get me wrong on this: I would not hesitate to categorize it as evil and immoral, and screwing up a generation of youth. I am also against double standards. Nor am I assuming the girl to be a church-going A student. But I am not going to assume the worst about her without knowing anything about her.
My line in the sand is for everyone. Morality has its back to the wall these days, I think. It's time to start go medieval on everything crossing that line. Some things are just inappropriate. Like the KKK costumes. Or, like pretty much anything that comes out of Louis Farrakhan's filthy word-gutter. Or the race-baiting of David Duke, and the different style of race-baiting by Jesse Jackson (or those terrible Democrats who criticised Steele for being a "Simple Sambo" or "Uncle Tom").
I mean, do you want a laundry list of what's wrong with society these days? It could go on for pages, books. 11 year old girls dressing like hookers. Modern music, which is either about killing cops and disrespecting women, or just descending into a giant, never ending quest for pleasure (get drunk, get laid with some girl/guy you will forget in the morning, do drugs, etc.). Not facing one's problems and running from our enemies. Overreacting to problems and seeing enemies in our friends. Hating the Laws of G-d. Not telling the truth for fear of offending someone (political correctness). Redesigning (childproofing) society based on the lowest common denominator. Forgetting that with liberty comes responsibility. Forgetting that liberty needs to be defended. Confusing socialism for social justice. I could go on, and I am sure you can too.
And I don't think poorly of your intelligence. I just don't think it's right to assume some girl is part of a gang because she's black (and I don't think that's what you did, but I think you were using hyperbole to enhance your argument in a way that does not do the girl justice).
