I must say that it is completely and totally fucked up and wrong to organize a segregated school event... that shit should not be allowed in any way.

Fuck those bunch of assholes.

I'm amazed that the school would allow such blatant racial shit to continue. The principal or school board needs to grow some balls and put an end to this shit! disbelief

"It seems like it's something secret," she said. "The white people are afraid to speak up against the separation."


They must think that crap is right if they are not speaking up against it. That is covert racism at one of it's finest forms. I'm not surprised.

The South is the extreme blatant face but in the cities like Chicago which are the most segregated and covert.

Yeah. Even when black people fled to the North they still caught hell. The draft riots during the Civil War had many Northern whites hunting down black folk because they didn't want to fight a war to "free the Nigras to come take their jobs." Additionally shortly after WWI there were several riots in the North again, responding to the large influx of black soldiers returning home and the many black folk who fled the South's racism thinking things were better in the North.

Yeah... Jolson may sucks, but a number of black actors who were forced to perform in black(er)face are heroes in our community. Anyway, I wasn't going for offending anyone... It'd just be intersting to see the faces of all those "Pleasantville" prom-goers if a big group of people showed up dressed like the archetype they're so petrified of. fro

1.) Posey plans to attend both proms.

"I had some white friends who were not going to the other (inclusive) prom," she said. "I wanted to have time with everybody. I'll have a lot of (black) friends there, too. A lot more of the seniors are going to be at the mixed one."


2.)P.S.
at no point did you see me say;
Black people who speak like White people
get treated like White people, although
they may be openly accepted by them.

3.)The fact of the matter is that the whites will be the ones with a CHOICE about wich prom they WANT TO attend.
This same choice is not afforded the black students.
Now this should again bring to the fore ( for those who still feel RACISM IN AMERICA is non-exsistant, or just
an Isolated incident of bigotry here and there) that
it is and has always been at epidemic proportions in all of
America, Rite in the 'HOOD' you live in. In the place you work. The resturants you eat in. The schools you send your children to. The very CHURCH you attend.



4.) We may change our pattern of speach, and our manerisms
but we'll still have the same battles to fight that we had to fight 50 or 100 years ago. Only the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT have changed.
Even as militant as i may be, We aren't spreading a message of hate. It's a WAKE UP CALL to those whom can't seem to see it in their faces because they have a CHOICE
of whut party to attend

That's all most of us has ever said on the subject of racism... We have no choice!!!
DID I SAY WE'RE VICTIMS??? HEEELL NO.
But don't it make you feel like we're angree?
we're not, just a bit perplexed by some who really "can't see the forrest for the trees"
I AM King BAD a.k.a. BAD,
YOU EITHER WANNA BE ME, OR BE JUST LIKE ME

Oh my god!! There is a choice for someone to attend either a white only prom or a mixed prom!! Heaven forbid. That is bloody fantastic. I ain't no racist but surely all you have to do is organise your own prom and have a black only prom. Then the asain community can do the same and so on and so on!! Then there wouldnt be an issue. All of a sudden the more intelligent people in the area would say that it was stupid to have different proms and organise one big one.

There are organisations that only allow women and others that only allow men. Good for them.

Its all about choice.
