Just as someone stated above, one of the most fundamental skills that college graduates acquire is the ability to network - the suspension of the frat as the subsequent result of their actions, whether you believe them to be racist or not, is justifiable enough simply because their party succeeded in alienating not only the members of the Black Student Union but what is apparently every single person living in the local area.

I wouldn't go so far as to assume these students are racist but they surely could've helped me (along with the Black Student Union and the school administration) believe that they weren't - if their comical style of dress was to truly be indicative of the "regional clothing from our locale" then they seem to have a very limited (and seemingly racist) perception of those that live in the area of the school.

Had they not added with their fliers that the party was themed after those from the area then the sentiments expressed by the Black Student Union would be nothing more than an overreaction.

And while some may realize that they have so little an argument to stand on that they search for parallels between the effects of the party and the fact that the Black Student Union is oriented towards black students "and is thus just as exclusionary" - even if the Black Student Union was so exclusionary that it was open only to the blackest of all black students it'd still succeed much more in uniting those few students than the mockery and exclusionary overtones of the party could ever allow for.

I'm surprised that you even have the time to type this when you've apparently dedicated yourself to surveying all black people - everywhere. Please continue you statements as justified as the one I've quoted above as you're apparently the expert.

This thread has left me thoroughly disappointed. Simply put, I thought the TFP was better than this.
