Sounds like a little of both. I was thinking if my child had been part of this. If I was paying his tution and he had taken part in this, he would be out of that frat regardless of what the school did.
Don't these University people have things to do? Like teach and learn?
What a stupid episode- all of it!
It appears that the party planners were remiss, doesn't it?
What happened to freedom of speech, oh I forgot only Farakan, Jackson and Hitlery Roddamn are eligible. The truth seems to twist a lot of liberal panties on campas it seems. That was not a parody go down town and take a good look, it was reality!
So would I, but I bet the university wouldn't be offended at all. They would probably call it a diversity exhibition or something.
The suspensions are in line, however, considering that alcohol wasn't allowed there.
Where was/is all the uproar about toga parties where they dress like ancient Italians were perceived and they eat peeled grapes?
On second thought, no, I wouldn't be offended.
Hmmmmmm, I believe theres was a " big Hip hop hit", a few years ago by the same title, although the artist ( term used loosely) escapes me. Nothing wrong here but life imitating so called art.
Blacks as White Chicks....funny, but I didn't see any picketing over these stereotypes.
I guess I'm way insensitive. While I find this stupid and juvenile, this is such an overreaction, except for breaking the no alcohol rule.
If they'd held a Homeschool Mom Party and everyone came in denim jumpers and minivans, would they have suspended the frat??? No, because it's accurate for a certain section of hs moms.
I think if people don't want others to ridicule them, they ought not to act in such a way that they seem ridiculous.
Ok, so my pet peeve is pants down around the knees. If they knew how many times my panty hose have sagged and I freaked out, they wouldn't do this so lightly!!! :D
Because that was Hollywood doing it, of course. If you're liberal you can do that kind of stuff.
Thye should have called it a "RAP Fashion" party..
The last time I looked, there were no laws on the books protecting an individual , or group from being offended.
bet you dollars to donuts if it was a mock "W" party the university would have sent out commendations and awards to the fraternity.
Or, Racial Appreciation Night.
Yeah right. Excuses, excuses.
We've lost our right to be stupid years ago.
I suspect they were mocking stereotypes and not the man. Dumb thing to do but what are frats for?
