There is a difference between a group of blacks or whites gathering among themselves in a lunchroom, parking lot, park, etc., and organizing a formal prom that explicitly is about exclusion based on race. A big difference.

Further, to have this take place in the south only reinforces the mostly false stereotypes that the libs and media like to throw out. Defending such stupid acts only aids the Sharptons and Jackson's of the world.

Next time you have a party at your house and I don't get an invitation, I am going to ask your governor to condemn you.

This was a private party, not a school sanctioned "Prom".
FYI many East Texas schools had segregated proms until well into the 90's. In fact many of them abolished all extra currucula activities except sports after integration.
Please try to be a little less self righteous. Thank you.

I'll admit that I don't know the particulars of this story. Maybe I shouldn't have commented. But, I have lived in Alabama now for 7 years. Before I got here, I believed all of the stories of the white on black racism in the South. I have found that there is SOME of that. I have also found that there is a HUGE amount of black on white racism that no one is willing to talk about.

My son’s best friend is black. His friend’s parents can’t stand it. They constantly tell him the he is “too white”. The way I see it, there are two distinct cultures in the South-- one black and one white. The reason it is that way is because folks here choose to live this way...and I choose not to. All IMHO.
