In another picture, a student is dressed as Aunt Jemima and carries a gun. "That upsets me," Elder said. "That's someone who knows nothing about Dr. King, because Dr. King was totally about nonviolence." So was Aunt Jemima.

World is doomed.  You obviously missed the point of the article. It has nothing to do with "goofy" college parties. This was a party on MLK day where the theme was racial stereotypes against Black people. It was not a "cultural party," as you put it.

I thought it was stupid to get upset about this until I saw they did it on MLK day.  That's just fucked up.

They deserve any punishment they get.Why do they deserve punishment?  Especially from the college?They were having a party amongst themselves and hurt no one in the process.  So what if it was a little racially insensitive.  Colleges are full of racially insensitive things.  Just because they are white and were mocking a little bit of black culture means they should be investigated and public forums be held?  They deserve to be mocked and shunned by others who go not like what they did but having some kind of charges filed against them goes too far.They can go after them for the college version of tax evasion, underage drinking, but that's about it.

Yes, there were probably a dozen other parties like this on the same day throughout the country.  And I know there are black parties that make fun of whites.  Both are wrong, but inevitable among the young.But they didn't brag about it.  That's the difference.

Well technically it IS a party that has to do with a culture.  Only problem is, they're opening their cheeks up and dumping on that culture. But Furtherman said it best.  It's just stupid.  If you're going to do it, then either keep it on the DL or stand up for your stupid prejudice and be proud of who you are.  But you can't have it both ways, stupid.  If you're inbred asses are going to do that, you're gonna catch some shit.Bah, who gives a shit in the end.  Hopefull some of them get thrown out of school, ruin their futures and end up serving black people at local resturaunts.  They should love that.

So it's OK because they were insulting stereotypes, but not violently insulting stereotypes.  Gotcha.

So it's OK because they were insulting stereotypes, but not violently insulting stereotypes. Gotcha. basically.  celebrating murder is obviously different.

I take back what I said about the "cultural parties." This is the new winner. I think Sailor's point shows how ridiculous the term culture is and how its used nowadays.  I think there are two types of culture that get discussed, location based culture and race based culture.  They are very different, but they get intermixed in discussions frequently.  I think that's why sailor's analogy of a race based culture into a "white culture" which typically thinks of culture as location based seems so ridiculous.  People think its silly that there is a white culture, but are upset when someone offends a race based culture of 30 million black people.   If anything the party shows the mockery of how culture is used and promoted in this country.  I can't think of a positive African American cultural trait without sounding like a complete racist.  They are really family oriented, like good food, joyvial.  I don't understand the use of the term culture in a race based context.   I wish the word would go away or be redefined.

Mojo, thanks for trying to bring some sense to this thread. Some people who have never experienced racism or realize how prevelant it still is have a hard time grasping why people are so 'sensitive'. A similar thing happened at my beloved college last year. I don't think it's remotely funny and I'm really glad our president stood up and the kids 'withdrew' but were basically kicked out. There is still a lot of racism out there, especially in the south. I am now married to a black man and I was really ignorant to some of the stuff he has endured and still does; my eyes have been opened. So is this funny too? I don't think so. I don't see a difference.<a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/DN-aggievideo_09tex.ART.State.Edition1.3dfdcd5.html" target="_blank">http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/DN-aggievideo_09tex.ART.State.Edition1.3dfdcd5.html</a><img src="http://blogs.abcnews.com/photos/uncategorized/blackface_nr_1.jpg" border="0" width="312" height="236" />

It's really not all that much to ask that people don't throw parties celebrating the worst of another mans culture.  It's not like they decided to have a party where they dressed like blacks and someone showed up looking like a member of the Nation of Islam or the CEO of AMEX.  This was inherently racist, harmless stupidity - but still racist.

I wonder, if a Muslim college group were to have a "9/11 party" next September, with WTC statues and crying eagles and some "freedom fries", what would the reaction be from these free speech warriors? Does Paterson NJ have a college? If they did, they would be dancing in the streets every 9/11 like they did in 2001. Everybody has their own brand of humor I guess. Shooting guns in the air and burning American flags is fun to them.Americans pick on the *BLEEP*s!

I think O&A cross the "racist vs. funny" line at times. Anthony repeatedly referring to non-whites as "savages" is one example. Though I do agree with your final statment, these kids are complete idiots that deserve all the backlash a civil society throws at them.

Does Paterson NJ have a college? If they did, they would be dancing in the streets every 9/11 like they did in 2001. Everybody has their own brand of humor I guess. Shooting guns in the air and burning American flags is fun to them.Americans pick on the *BLEEP*s!Can you please tell me where you heard people were dancing in the streets in Paterson, NJ. This sounds like a retarded urban legend that has no merit and only exists to increase prejudice against American muslims.

That's the difference.  Guess i missed the invites...never heard of a 'make fun of whites' party... Interesting point though is that MLK is seen as a 'black' holiday when DR King was for unity of all races...

Who are these kids' parents? I mean, didn't they let them in on the conspiracy? Don't they know what we put in fried chicken?
