Somebody please check for me what year it is?

I know when I graduated in 1977 in Gadsden AL a whites-only prom was unheard of. We were completely integrated. However, the whites danced with whites and the blacks danced with blacks. Nowadays that has changed, but still having an exclusionary event seems terribly backwards. I suppose the ones who go on to college within the next couple of years will pledge to a frat and continue on their merry exclusionary way. By the way, at the risk of getting hammered by the English grammar Nazis out there, is exclusionary a word? Don't have a dictionary handy.

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.....

O'Reilly might dodge the question, but no one else can.
Where was the outrage about black-only proms in the past few years?

Sorry, O'Reilly's lame excuse won't cut it.
"Excusing bad behavior because others do the same thing" is "spinning" of the worst kind and a cowardly way to dodge the question.

Fear of certain segments of the public is a lame excuse for selective outrage.
