Will observers ever recognize what the hoop — and the contemporary belle — have to do with the hate?

My opinion only, about as much as cotton.

Ban cotton shirts, underwear too.

[Steely Tom]

Another bozo who gets paid by the word.

While donning a hoop skirt on occasion may not constitute a hate crime

Wow.

[Tax-chick]

There are a lot of crazy people out there.

[Artemis Webb]

Nuts.

I will be absolutely giddy the day that America decides that liberals belong in cages for the safety of all humanity.

The hoop skirt ban was enacted in response to an ensuing uproar in March at the University of Oklahoma after members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a fraternity with Southern roots, were caught on video chanting a racist song with references to lynching.

Unless the frat brothers were weaaring hoop skirts, I really fail to see any connection between the two, or for that matter any of the events described.

There are a few aresholes out there waving Confederate symbols.

There are lots of other arseholes out there waving American Flags or wearing blue jeans and tee shirts. Are those going to be banned, too?

[Red Badger]

Yes, cotton balls are racist, too..........

[Organic Panic]

Do my eyes deceive me? I believe I see two young black women wearing hoop skirts in the attached picture.

And really. WTF??? Everything is racist to the perpetually offended. Unreal. HOOP SKIRTS!!! REALLY!?!?! What insanity.

[Dr. Sivana]

My daughter is black. She also wants to wear one of those things when she’s a bit older.

> declared a ban on hoop skirts

Racist on it’s face. Compare to a ban on “drooping pants”.

[kalee]

Shaking my head. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Obama needs to have the Justice Department Civil Rights Division issue an order requiring all Southern undergraduate women to dress like U.C. Berkeley lesbians.

I have been through Athens, GA. I have been through Clemson S.C. I have been through Statesboro, GA. I have been through Troy, Alabama. I have been through San Marcos, TX.

They all had one thing in common. An unusually large percentage of gorgeous girls. I don’t mean just a lot either. I mean babes everywhere you look.

Memo To Elizabeth Boyd:

Click the Pic

[driftless2]

It says more about paranoid, pathetic people like Boyd who waste valuable ink writing incoherent hate (yes, HATE ) screeds like this than people who choose to dress up in clothes from a bygone era like many people of many other cultures do. Boyd is a contemptuous fool.

G.R.I.T.S... Ain’t nothing better.

[NTHockey]

Another homegrown Taliban determined to erase any and all traces of history. So we can make the same mistakes again...and again... and ad nauseum.
