Re: High Schooler Dresses up as KKK member for Halloween
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] This thread is funny. A bunch of 20 year old white kids thinking it's silly for people to be offended by any costume. [/ QUOTE ] Why isn't it? Its [censored] Halloween. [/ QUOTE ] Okay, so let's say (God forbid) your mom or girlfriend or someone close to you is brutally raped and killed by a local serial killer; he's caught, and 5 months later someone in your class dresses exactly like the local killer with pictures of the victims on his attire. That wouldn't offend you, right? It's just [censored] Halloween?

It's no more offensive than the geisha/terrorist/chinaman costumes I see every Halloween. Also, I think this case gets more attention simply because most of the KKK's victims, blacks, are currently socially untouchable. [/ QUOTE ]

Re: High Schooler Dresses up as KKK member for Halloween
I hate PC-bullcrap as much as anyone but I think this is way over the line. People saying KKK and Nazi costumes are 'only costumes' need to have a bit of compassion and understanding. Obviously the story has been sensationalised and blown out of proportion, but the kid has to be a [censored] idiot if he thought it was going to go down well/not offend a lot of people.
And wtf @ this is the same as people dressing up as a chinaman/geisha??!? These costumes may be a little dumb and stereotypical, but these figures did not persecute and murder people based on their race.

racism isn't dead btw [/ QUOTE ] Its also not the black population that is solely targeted. There are substantial subsections of the population that are racist against any race you can name.
