People need to lighten up.
They "remember" times before desegregation? How old are these people? Plus, how is someone in blackface so insulting? They're all @#@&(# retards.
It's only permissible one-way, though.
There will be even "better" news coming out of Stetson in the coming days and weeks. Some of my friends on College Republicans started a conservative magazine, only to be barred from distribution both on and off campus due to disagreements over the conservative content. All attempts at compromise have been unsuccessful so far. We have already contacted the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) and they have taken our case. Hopefully we can settle but we are prepared to protect out legal rights.
They committed the greatest of all crimes: ethnic humor at the expense of one of the favored minorities. Had they engaged in lesbianism or insulted Christians or whites there would have been no problem.
Oh My Gawd, they broke the Cardinal rule "Never appear in Blackface"
****"Not too many people know the history of blackface, student Cameo Humes said******
Cameo Humes is right not too many people do know the history of blackface. , and he is one of them.
The funny thing about this is a black is offended by blackface but a black man doing hip hop talking about beating up on cops and Ho's and playing with his nuts the whole time doesnt offend them in the least. To me Blackface is a lot better than gangster rap.
Take a sledgehammer to whiny left-wing hypocrisy, why don'cha!
There should be a National Black Face Day. Where all appear in Blackface. It would drive em nuts!
This flap would have never happened if the girls had taken your advice ;-)
No comment required. What were they mad about again?
; )
Yeah, imagine if there were a "Black Sistas" movie or something. We'd never hear the end of it.
Seems things have changed at Stetson. One of my kids went there some 15 years ago and I got the impression the place was somewhat conservative.
Whites are the only group that is allowed to be made fun of now.
The article is so poorly written that it's hard to tell, but I think they were doing a parody of one particular player who happens to be black. I wonder where the race pimps draw the line. Suppose they left off the shoe polish, but still did the corn rows and gold teeth.
What do you think will happen to these players?
A. They will be kicked off the team and banished from participation in any sporting activity, professional or amateur, for the rest of their lives
B. (A) but will also be kicked out of school and prosecuted civilly for Hate Speech Crimes.
C. (A) and (B) and will also have their parents' homes burned to the ground by angry white liberal mobs.
D. Other
