RALEIGH, NC-- It was suppose to be fun, but some say a party among North Carolina State Students might have crossed the line.

The theme, Country Music Television versus Black Entertainment Television.

Students were encouraged to dress in costumes that imitated both cultures.

Some costumes found offensive by students played into the negative stereotypes of what is believed to be black culture.

The party was held off campus last Thursday, on the heels of the university's "Diversity Week".

The party was held off campus last Thursday, on the heels of the university's "Diversity Week".

What could be any more diverse than a party where everyone is invited?

People have no sense of humor anymore. (Of course my frat nearly got the boot for our “Reverend Jim Jones Grape koolaid party” Back in the early 80’s). So what do I know about tolerance.

“Unity in Proper Diversity”

This über-PC propaganda & Socialist indoctrination factory has a Diversity Advisory Committee and a Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity. Makes your head hurt. Better they should have a Uniting Advisory Committee and a Vice Provost for Assimilation and Patriotism. Or better, none of that flapdoodle and baked wind at all — leave it alone!

It doesn’t say who complained or what they actually complained about.

Wanna bet the complainant(s) were not invited to attend?

round the table discussion on diversity, for crying out loud.

These people need to wake up, but alas they will not , because they have been brainwashed by this crap called diversity.

People take things far too serious today. Everyone wants to be a victim, and as for the diversity crap.
They can shove it as it is not working around Europe and many parts here.
Let people be with people when they want.

So let me guess. The school was outraged that the sponsors were portraying people who watch CMT as ignorant, NASCAR-watching rednecks.

Don’t Tell Me You Agree With Me
When I Saw You Kicking Dirt In My Eye

But, If
You’re Thinkin’ About My Baby
It Don’t Matter If You’re Black Or White

I Said If
You’re Thinkin’ Of
Being My Baby
It Don’t Matter If You’re Black Or White

I Said If
You’re Thinkin’ Of
Being My Brother
It Don’t Matter If You’re
Black Or White

Yeah, Michael Jackson ended up being a prime example of a sad human being who had everything he wanted but an empty soul, looking for satisfaction and happiness in a drug induced haze. But he was also inspiring at times, and that song was pretty good and accurate as far as it goes.

He didn’t care for racists on EITHER side of the divide. And neither do I. :)

I’m waiting for someone to complain about zombie costumes being insulting to the undead.
