It's ridiculous and it's stupid. People need to grow up and grow some thick skin. "hood" culture is RIPE for parody. Hell, it parodies itself! It thrives on its own absurdity. Flava of Love anyone?

Nooses and skeletons (particularly ones with pirate hats) are VERY TRADITIONAL Halloween decorations. My fraternity held several Halloween parties and, wouldn't you know it, we had hung skeletons at every single one of them. We dressed out budget bucky skeleton up differently from year to year, but so it goes. Nothing about this is bizarre. Nothing about this is racist. Nothing about this is worthy of a lawsuit or is "deeply disturbing."

Welcome to the 21st century, morons. There are more important things going on in the world than looking to be offended by a bunch of college students having a fun party.

I can't wait to sue when a group of black students throw a party mocking the Backstreet Boys. If they have any voodoo heads on sticks, I'll be really offended because my ancestors were explorers who were beheaded by an African tribe.

No.

Really.
