"This is sad, man.
I can't imagine why this sort of thing could possibly occur.
Evidently it is a result of a hands-off policy by the school -
allowing students to plan their own proms.
I don't know what to say.
It just bugs me no end.
This story bothers me more than any I read today.
I hope it concerns you too.
How could anyone at all want this?"

That says it as well as I could.
But I'm going to say it my way, anyway...
What's next, drinking fountains for the "colored people?" Or, maybe we can keep the "darkies" at seperate basketball games. Because, people, that's what this is. Blatant, and baldfaced racism. If you don't see it that way, I am sad for you, and even more sad for me.
It is ridiculous and it is disgusting, and we should be ashamed.
These kids are good enough to sit in class together, but not dance? There are no benefits to segregation like this, despite inkriminator's well worded "devil's advocacy." This "anti-progress" should sicken each and every one of us.
We all belong to one race, the human race. Keeping up the pretense that there actually do exist "different races" is going to strongly contribute to our undoing.
There are no "different races." I refuse to accept that skin color, or eye shape, makes one of a different race that I.
They are human; I am human.
We live or die as humans.
Whoever said America is the "melting pot" did not live in modern times. Why does each culture insist on preserving it's past traditions? Why can't we take the best from each and celebrate them all as Americans? Where is our AMERICAN culture?
The past is dead, if we live in it, we are too.
