For all the good King did, towards the last he was a communist and a traitor...

Silly me. I thought this article was about a new political party named MLK.

"That upsets me," Elder said. "That's someone who knows nothing about Dr. King, because Dr. King was totally about nonviolence." Ironically, however, it seems that any roadway named after Dr. King invariably runs through the part of the city where murder and crime rates are highest, and violence is a way of life.
Tell ya what, Mr. Elder: why don't you start worrying about that, instead?

Sure, it's ignorant but it's also in the great American tradition of lampooning pompousness.

"That upsets me," Elder said. "That's someone who knows nothing about Dr. King, because Dr. King was totally about nonviolence." I seem to remember he went by Reverend King.

Hey Mr. Elder, call me back with your whiny indignation the day you can convince your fellows to universally abandon the use of the N-word. Until then, you have no "outrage credibility" with me.

In another picture, a student is dressed as Aunt Jemima and carries a gun. That's just too damn funny!

I think there could be a market for the new "Racial Divide Sensor". Any entrepreneurs out there?

Authorities at Tarleton State University said they plan to investigate a Martin Luther King Jr. Day party that mocked black stereotypes by featuring fried chicken, malt liquor and faux gang apparel. "I feel like there is no excuse for this type of ignorance," said Donald Ray Elder, president of the Stephenville school's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Dam straight!
How can you have faux gang apparel and no faux Drive By Shootings. Plus not one Basketball was in sight.
(to boot, they didn't have enough 'Bling')

Dr. King was totally about nonviolence." Except when he beat up his white prostitutes.

I see the problem here. Apparently, MLK day is supposed to be a day to honor him. If you want to be a jive black guy you should do it on Halloween.

and faux gang apparel.So when blacks wear it its real gang apparel?
To: westmichman
I am a bit unclear here but I assume the students who had this party were white. Otherwise would there be the same uproar? In any case the behavior was boorish and offensive but what can be done now? Is this sort of thing to be outlawed? Again we would have government legislating thought and speech. I find that scary.
