Darn, somebody “fixed” the Wikipedia entry. Among the list of “Traditions” at TSU:
Yesterday, “racist parties” was included in that last sentence.
But this hasn’t changed–so it must be true! Among the Alumni:

Maybe we are crazy, monstro. I’m scared.

Not me! I love being crazy. People give you candy and talk to you real slow and gentle-like.

A couple of years ago, I went to a Burns’ night celebration, where we all ate haggis and cock-a-leekie soup, drank whiskey, wore kilts, and recited poems, odes and toasts in terrible fake Scots accents, afterwards, we put on some folk music and danced jigs and square dances. Nobody present was actually Scottish.

Cool! I’m attending a Burns supper on Monday, where actual Scots will be present. Many of us Americans will be wearing kilts.

Hey, c’mon. Give the kids props. They were brave enough to do it on a campus where they only outnumbered blacks 20 to 1.
What a bunch of clueless punks.

Yes, so why is everyone so “shocked?”
These things happen among those trying to “show-off.”
It’s been happening for thousands of years.
What 'shocks" me is people think others will act with “common sense,” and the Media will report when people act with “common sense” rather than what people want to see/hear… :rolleyes:

One memory I have is when one time she was digging in her pockets for something, and a pair of dice fell out. Talk about a little nudge-nudge, wink-wink for the grown-ups in the room!

What do you mean by this? I’m confused on what the joke is.

Dice=craps
Black people playing craps is an age-old, if not well-known, stereotype.

Oh, I hadn’t heard that one. It doesn’t surprise me that I hadn’t, I grew up in an area with virtually zero people that were not of european descent so these things really didn’t come up. Also explains why I didn’t know ‘coon’ was a racial slur til a thread here on the dope a while back.

That’s the great thing about bigotry. Its stupidity is its own undoing.

Sometimes it takes a while. The Republican party controlled congress for 12 years and it wasn’t even racism that ultimately brought them down. It was the idiocy of the non-racist half of the Republican equation (PNAC) topped off by homophobia. Of course if you think of the Virginia senate race, it very well may have been racism that gave the Democrats the majority in the senate.
checks Hal’s alibi
This nothing issue is being overwrought, overfought and overthought.
I second the “meh”.
