Re: High Schooler Dresses up as KKK member for Halloween
1. Please stop making irrational and disproportionate comparisons. It does nothing to further your arguments and if you don't know what I'm talking about then take a level 1 debate class at ANY college.
2. Stop trivializing the legacy that slavery and jim crow has left behind in regards to the structuring of our society. Part of this comes about due to the fact that most of us on this forum were born after the civil rights movement and really have little first hand experience with outright institutional racism and segregation in our face. We are only one generation since the end of segregation, do you really expect everything to be hunky dorey by now already??? Seriously!!
3. The lack of empathy and understanding on this board is sickening. We're so quick to comfort each other when someone goes on a 20 buyin downswing but when it comes to something like this people become cold and spiteful. People, women and children were killed, raped, tortured by the KKK. You don't see how bringing up their symbolism in a public institution such as a public school (where religious curriculum is not even allowed) would offend students and parents????!!!! Free speech aside, anything that can incite a riot especially in a place where children are involved is a serious issue! Have the numerous school shootings not taught us a single damn thing?
4. KKF: your posts are quite disappointing partly because you come across as a rather intelligent and progressive person through your other posts.
5. CalledMeDownLight: well.....
