Yes folks seems like we can’t even go a day without college students hosting “racially themed” parties. Today, the Smokinggun.com<\/a> featured some pictures from a Martin Luther King Day party at Clemson University<\/a>. The theme of the party was “Living the Dream.” Yes folk this is what some ignorant people think about the dream of the Civil Rights Movement. They could care less about providing equal opportunities, stopping hate crimes, ending segregation, and several of the other noble themes of the Civil Rights movement. No they would rather celebrate d-rags, malt liquor, big booties, and blackface. To them this is what Martin Luther King Day is about. Their dream is making fun of African Americans, claiming that they are parodying “ghetto culture” and if they are part of the academy awards, voting for groups like 36 Mafia, since they allegedly represent “real” black life and hip hop.<\/p>\n

A few months back I put up a post called “Halloween for White People<\/a>,” which included a few pictures I found on the internet of whites in blackface; this post is an extension of that post. Here I’ll be posting pictures from facebook and these parties. As I have highlighted before, facebook is rampant with racism<\/a>, but on the positive side a group of over 2,000 students is fighting back by having a group called “Students against Racially Themed Parties<\/a>” (you can only access this if you have a facebook account). First let me post a few pictures from the Clemson party:<\/p>\n

Students Against racially themed parties has collected several pages of photos documenting racist parties and racism on facebook. Here’s picture that one guy decided to put up as his profile.<\/p>\n

I was particularly struck by the friend comment on this profile. The friend says, “i’m lovin the nig costume.”<\/p>\n

Here are a few more<\/p>\n

\"facebook-crazy-white-guy.jpg\"\"facebook-white-girl-black-guy.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Unfortunately some of these are a little grainy, but this is some of what’s going on on college campuses. I waiting for the apologists to come out of the woodwork on the last photo with the “look her black friend thinks it’s OK.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
