"Somebody please check for me what year it is?"

LOL!!! I was thinking the same thing! I can't believe this. A school Prom is a school Prom, its all about your classmates celebrating, NOT about color - white or black. This is wild.....

"I bet those six families were conniving..."

I'd like to think most juniors aren't quite so controlled by inbred relatives.

[demosthenes the elder]

please stop by for a looksie.

They can do it if they want, but it'd be really nice if nobody showed up for their little racist prom.

It'd be even nicer if (white) kids opposed to this showed up with black dates. :-)

"The thing that really surprised me was that the ACLU was nowhere to be seen."

There's no role here for the ACLU. The school prom isn't segregated. It's a private dance that's segregated. The kids can do that if they want, no matter how stupid it is.

I don't understand why this is upsetting to Freepers. Didn't we just decide that it was okay to keep women out of golf clubs? By the same reasoning it's okay to keep blacks out of proms.

I could explain how it's not the same...but it would be a twisted and tortured, hillary-like explanation. I think I'll just say "Good point" instead.

My white mother married my Native American father. Sure glad she didn't have hicks in her family.

Are you implying that only whites are hicks?

[Guillermo]

Im sure there are many who would want this type of party outlawed.

Left wingers only believe in freedom of association, as long as perverts, transexuals, homosexuals, etc are allowed to join.

[Belial]

I wonder how many of these rubes can even spell "backwards"?

[lugsoul]

no, it's just not illegal. it's still wrong.

[mabelkitty]

You responded to the wrong post.

He was commenting on a school-sponsored prom forbidding the entry of couples of different race.

[mabelkitty]

I'm implying that if her family had forbidden her from dating my father, I would consider them hicks.

[geaux]

I was commenting on a different situation; please see my post #13 w/ re: the actions of a public high school in my state.

"He was commenting on a school-sponsored prom forbidding the entry of couples of different race."

OK, that's really wrong. A school-sponsored event, if it's a public school, just can't legally do that.

[MineralMan]

"I was commenting on a different situation; please see my post #13 w/ re: the actions of a public high school in my state."

My error. Sorry.

Could it be that the White students dont want to listen to crap music and prefer "Tean Angel" instead? Maybe there is too wide a cultural difference? Maybe they have other reasons. What happened to freedom of association?

"It's called freedom of association."

---

They have every right to have a private prom that excludes people based on their skin color. And I have every right to say they're being stupid. And saying that "blacks self-segregate in college cafeterias" doesn't make it any less stupid for these white students to do this, since, last I heard, two wrongs still don't make a right.

I assume you mean "Teen Angel." Have you any idea how old that song is? Do you seriously think kids today, whatever race, are listening to music like that? Turn a radio on and get a clue.
