No its a loser statement by a school who is trying to win brownie points for "being against racism." This type of BS is what undermines the REAL message of actual racism.
Idiots.
The #winning reference is a nod to No_Recess, who thinks it’s fabulous the team is suspended.
I think that’s a silly POV, but whatever.

You are the one that is advocating a hypocritical position.
You claim that "white people can do what they want," yet you support white people being suspended for respectfully dressing up as a black man that dressed like a white girl - while accepting the black man dressing up as a white girl.
You have race-based double standards and don't truly support people doing what they want if you support them being punished and potentially expelled for it.
Yeah, I’m not going to yell in defense of white people dumb enough to wear black face makeup after years and years of hard-earned lessons about it.
You honestly don't see the hypocrisy in your statements, do you?
Why should anyone - exercising their God given rights to freedom of speech and expression along with the rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness - be threatened with expulsion, unemployment and even homelessness?
Because you don't agree with what this girl did? Did she hurt anyone? Did she bully someone? Did she negatively affect anyone? The answer is no. You and others just "don't like" what she did. So what if you don't like it? Move along.
I didn’t suspend the team. I don’t care. I think she’s dumb, though.
There's one thing that's not been mentioned yet, that I know of: the girl knew she was going to hurt and offend people; her conversations with her friends prove that.
What I'd like to know is, who goes out of their way to hurt and offend, racially or any other way? Seriously, who does that? Have we completely lost all sense of just being, you know, kind to each other?

While I understand your sentiment, there is much truth in the belief that part of being a logical person, mentor, friend, parent, etc... is confronting and debunking illogical fears among peers and those you care for.
This seems to become more and more lost in this time of over-sensitivity.

The girl and her friends misjudged the environment. I imagine she and they thought that a white girl impersonating a black movie character who impersonated a white girl would be taken as clever, not possibly offensive. I'd bet at least one of them raised the offensive issue and was told nobody could be that insecure and sensitive. Too bad they didn't check with the Black Student Association first.
EDIT: I just saw post 64, which states the girl knew she'd offend people. I hadn't seen an account of that. Link please ?
Well, I wouldn't have known she was Crews, so the humor would have been lost for me anyway. I think it would have been funny if she had gone as Latrell.
