Again, on the one hand we're told to "get over it", while if we refuse to laugh along with these asinine "pranks" which keep reminding us of the "it" in the first place we're being crybabies, whiners, stuck in the past, etc.

Another interesting thing to note is that you don't see these pranks and parties targeted to Jews or Native Americans. I mean, what, no Holocaust bash? Or perhaps a Massacre at Wounded Knee-themed get together? I mean surely in the interest of diversity would we not want to leave these groups out, right?
Why was this directed at me?

The only sad thing about this case is that these two young goons would have so much disdain for their fellow Americans and shipmates that they would go to such great lengths to make light of such a tragic episode of American history, especially one with such a personal connection to many of the black midshipmen and officers with whom and under whom they served.

Unlike the UCSD incident, this act was genuinely racist and malicious. This type of thing happens a lot in the South. It's a popular hazing rituals among universities in the South. They will place cotton balls all over a lawn and chain frat brothers with fake handcuffs and have them pick it up. The cotton ball on the lawn act is popular in the South. The University of Missouri is in Columbia not St. Louis. It is very much a Southern school and it's a member of the Big 12. Missouri is like Oklahoma. It's not a member of the deep South but it's still a part of the South.

If being a jackass is now a felony, I suspect a lot of you will someday be sharing a bunk with these mooks.

Painting "certain" words on the car and house of a black couple in Chattanooga is your idea of a joke, mary phagan?

If blacks would dish out slavery and lynchings to white folks sometimes in history, would you blame the whites for being a bit touchy about any signs that history might repeat itself, hon?

Or flip it around, would whites want to see some black teenagers arrested and charged with a felony for tossing around some crackers or Wonder bread?
