Comments on: NAACP Probes MLK Party At Clemson

White Students Drank Malt Liquor, One Wore Blackface At Off-Campus Party

People make money by keeping Race in the forefront of the news. Would the Legislative Black Caucus have a job if everyone were called Americans that lived here? It is OK to remember a fault from time to time as to never let it happen again, but to make a living from dredging up past wrongs is a disservice to all those who actually endured the hardship.

I would think that there are many good party themes without using a racist one. If that was one of my sons I would have thought I raised a child with better values. I don't see anything funny about it. On the other hand, let's not make a big deal about it either, they're young and young people do crazy things. I think all people black and white have done things in their youth that they are ashamed of. Enough is enough.

Al Frankin says this is a plot hatched by Karl Rove to supress the votes of whites who act like blacks.....it's DOUBLE discrimination.

When is 'The Man' going to stop keeping us down????

Why doesn't the NAACP go after the "Gangsta" rappers who glorify just such an image in both "songs" and videos.

bigdarkie; Thank you great post, well spoken!

SKYK can understand why you thought it was the South. I'm in the South now and it's WAY different than I've ever lived. People still fighting the Civil War, confederate flags on houses but not the American flag. Oh yeah they got it bad here. Talk about racist, amazing how far behind they are in some places. Someone forgot to tell them the war was over.

|and at the University of Connecticut School of Law, students who attended an off-campus "Bullets and Bubbly" party held fake machine guns and 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor.|

Um, I believe Connecticut is in the North East. This isn't just a souhern issue skyk. Grow up, or is it ok to be predjudiced towards southerners?

[naber1961]

The NAACP personnel is as bigoted and predjudiced as any one else. If the roles were reversed and it was colored people mocking whites NOTHING would be said. Black people can be racist as well as white people can, althouhg I had been told by lots of blacks that they cannot be racist,,,, and I have yet to get an answer to say why the cannot.

[skyk-2009]

Are these people in the South EVER going to grow up? The LAST thing we need in this nation right now is MORE hatred and Division... isn't having a true Hood and Sheet Creep in the White House enought?

Also, this is directed at the NAACP: instead of wasting your time 'investigating' an off campus event you do not approve of. Go spend your time and money solving the problem of black violence in your ghettos. Your unemployed, impovershed people need your help. Take off your suits and your attitudes and go work on urban reconstruction, work on finding & training blacks for good jobs. Make your mentality one of achievement instead of despair and negativity. Go work on getting the 'ghetto rap' industry shut down. Take Jesse & Big 'Al' and have a million man march on Poverty, AIDS, Guns in the Ghetto. Help teach your young children that all have daddy the felon in prison to read. Do something constructive instead of being devisive. No one wants to be black these days and people around the world ridicule most of you because of your lack of help to your people. Get a life and quit whining over some kids that choose to exercise their right of free speech & expression. There are a lot of more important things to do than that and I've pointed out a few above. Good luck & God Speed.
