But since they didn't dress up like gangbangers, and they DID dress up like KKK members??
I'm unsure of your point.
I can tell you if any youngsters came to my front door dressed like that, they would have gotten an earful from me- and no candy.

True. It almost sounds like someone is condoning this right here on the forum. I wouldn't go that far. These days, you can make book on threads like these having the subject totally switched.

Put a pair of crap filled depends underneath the sheets and they could be the Sheets Byrd.

What they should have done is put a name tag on the back of the robe that says, "BYRD (D) WV". They could have then claimed they were exercising their First Amendment right to engage is political speech, and then sue the school for violating their civil rights.

Like the "gat" in your little picture there. It's a solid question. I don't personally like the idea of anyone wearing KKK sheets or condoning anything about the Klan, but the guy has a good point. Black Americans really don't have to worry about the Klan as much as they did 50 years ago... I think statistics show the one of the biggest things Black Americans have to worry about is being killed by another Black American thug/gangsta.

Would your solution be to overlook the Klan costumes or condemn both the Klan and gangbanger costumes?

You're kind of missing the point. The black girl at the party doesn't deserve to be subjected to that kind of idiocy.
It's just cowardly and wrong.

Or if your name is Sheriff Bart and you get the costumes by asking true klansmen the question, "Where the white women at?"

While that may be a literal reading of the facts- wouldn't you agree that everything the KKK stands for, (and therefore what "dressing up" for fun, as a member of the KKK,) is completely despicable?
Do you expect these young people went out without their parents seeing them?

There was some really unfunny guy going around with a KKK costume on and filming it... I was wondering if it was real or staged. Anybody know?

Why do other teenagers have to 'tiptoe' around one black girl's feelings. Does she show the same regard when 'hangin with her peeps in whatever local Rap joint'? I don't hardly think so. She should grow some skin (thicker) and move on. The world sucks for those that let it. There's a reason for the old saying, "Life Sucks and THEN you die."
Black, white, yellow, brown, fuscia, whatever....their 'sensibilities' are what they make of them, and NO ONE should have to cowtow to them.......

I totally agree with you. I also agree with Skooz. If the kids had dressed like gang bangers... nothing would have been said. Skooz also asked a good question... which clique has killed more Black Americans in the past 10 to 50 yrs... KKK or Gangstas? My vote: Gangstas. Rdb3 was waiting to pounce and pounce he did, but what I'd like to see is rdb3 answer Skooz's question. Which clique?

Like the "gat" in your little picture there.And why is that even important? It's a "The Sopranos" font.
It's a solid question. I don't personally like the idea of anyone wearing KKK sheets or condoning anything about the Klan, but...
The ubiquitous "but." Need I say more?
Also, what has that to do with the subject of this thread? The number of threads that have had their subjects changed to something like this is myriad. I could care less that these kids wore these costumes. So what! The problem I have is keeping the focus on underclass American blacks even when the topic has nothing to do with them, then having that focus sweep all of us up no matter how law-abiding and professional we may be.
I guess some folx just have to get their digs in no matter what.
