That's just wrong.

[The Old Hoosier]

Somebody please check for me what year it is?

[Fraulein]

What?

[KantianBurke]

its their right to have their own white only prom just as its my right to think of them as being just as stupid as those who want gays only graduations or blacks only college dorms.

[grapeape]

Is Superman up there turning the world backwards again. I told him to stop that. Lois is just moving on. he is going to have to live with it. GOSH...

[Bigg Red]

What a shame. I hope they have a change of heart. This is 2003.

[headsonpikes]

It's just some cliquey teenagers exercising their God-given right to be stupid.

I wonder where the parents are in all this?

[geaux]

I don't have as much of a problem with this as I did with a high school in my area that refused to admit racially mixed couples.

[Zansman]

Is the date on this 2003 or 1903?

Man, what a whacked out world we live in. The best golfer in the world is a black dude, the best rapper is a white guy and you have these "Gone With The Wind" throwbacks having a "White's Only" prom (and before you flame me, I'm just as disgusted by "black only" type events)!!??

A privately owned club is one thing, this is entirely another. It's stuff like this that kills us when we try to argue against affirmative action and other race-based policies.

All this is because of "inter-racial dating problems"? I can tell you one thing, I'm glad my kid isn't growing up in some "cracker-barrell" community like Albany, GA. These folks are a piece of work.

[kcordell]

Oh great. Sure helps Georgia's backward image. Just what we need.

Kudos to the teens who invited everyone.

[MineralMan]

Dumb. I guess they have the right to do this, since it's a private party, but what a stupid idea. Here these kids go to school all year long together, but some of the white kids want to have a dance that excludes half of the school's students because they're a different color.

Archaic, stupid, and ignorant.

[mabelkitty]

Problems of inter-racial dating?

My white mother married my Native American father.

Sure glad she didn't have hicks in her family.

[aristeides]

C-SPAN had a phone-in segment a few days ago where they only accepted calls from minorities.

[Belial]

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

[asformeandformyhouse]

separate, private party for whites only

It's private, therefore within their rights but as I tell my children: "Just because you have a right to do a thing, doesn't make it the right thing to do".

[grapeape]

You know maybe I was to quick to answer the first time. We don't know the whole story behind this. We have to realize that as people who are trying to create a fairer based society we are being flanked from some Blacks out there. The school in question could be a victim of blacks engaging in volunteer segregation.

I specifically have an instance of this happening at the University of Houston. The Black Fraternities will get in front of the university student center and Paddle each other. They artificially inflate their numbers to turn it into a huge gathering. Of course the Dean of Students DR. Munson is too smart to play into their hands. He lets them show the world just how stupid they are.

This attitude has to be nipped in the bud before it gets out of control. I for one use to be an adamant non-racists but I have no desire to go out on a limb for them any more. I have seen things like this, and have had too many personal experiences to name, to back the movement anymore. I am tired of being stabbed in the back by these UN types.

[Dan from Michigan]

Well, they have every right to do that by freedom of association. On the same note, others have the same freedom not to associate with jerks like that.

BTW - Can the posters here not use the term "rednecks and hicks". I happen to be a redneck in some respects and have a lot of friends who are. Most of us don't think like these jerks.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

That is pretty damned sad.

[lilylangtree]

Think back about a week ago when the RATS presidential candidates attended the all black mayor conference, did anyone hear the whites crying about it? Now what makes this event so special, huh?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Crazy White People !
