Wow. I wonder if they'll argue that it was okay because the fraternity was open to ALL students, not just white ones.

Two questions.
1. How the hell could anyone with a brain think doing that is funny?
2. What lunatics decided it was a good idea to put that in the college yearbook?

Yikes... it will get buried... imagine if this were a Kentucky yearbook.... yikez
It's okay, because Dean's Myth sat at a lunch counter, or something.

The Virginia Governor’s now infamous black faced pic was in 1986 and the 3rd in line Attorney General Mark Herring also wore a black face in 1980. There is no statute of limitations in the court of public opinion.
I think we should track them down and destroy their lives, ruin their kids futures, tear their family apart, make them pay reparations and put them in prison for 25 years.
Amirite?

I graduated UK in 1978 and almost married a guy from that 1979 UNC class. UNC and UVA in those days were as "old South" as Ole Miss or LSU. They were populated mostly by legacy white boys whose daddy and grandaddy went there. They joined frats, drank and partied for four years and got the "gentleman's C." It wasnt until much later that these schools became prestigious academic institutions.
Let’s do it! Let’s go through every book, every website, and every publication in existence and search out racist content and destroy everything about the people involved! That’ll show them! But in all seriousness, enough with this ********. It was 40 f****g years ago. Get the hell over it. The witch hunt needs to stop.
Um who cares.. Was almost as old as i am.. Further you go back in time ,, worse it gets ..
Shameful. :scream:

"That's actually very disrespectful. It's never OK," said student Austin Paschal. "Forty years ago, I can guarantee almost all the schools in the South were doing this."

I searched it there are multiple stories about it and it shows the whole book. It isn't photoshopped LOL. Even though it was a long time ago that's a bad look. Need to bring that up with recruiting LOL. This, KU issues, all we need is a Dook story of bad times or embarrassment and we will have pulled off the Holy Trinity of BlueBlood. Come on Dookie story!
That picture is really unfortunate, to put it mildly.
However I wonder how many would relish the thought of our teenage years being scrutinized and laid bare to the world. I’m sure the Washington PC Puritans have no qualms about having their entire behavior from middle school through college totally exposed.
Hell when I was at ole miss in the 90s the rebel flag was everywhere from the grove to vaught Hemingway. People doing “racist” things is a part of every past. We act like the US is only where there is racism especially the south. The fact is racism will always be here and no amount of political correctness in the USA will change that.
I certainly wouldn't, under any circumstances! Although it's not because I ever did anything particularly thoughtless and/or hurtful like the fools in that yearbook pic. I just don't want anyone seeing any pics of me where I'm sporting a pseudo-mullet, a stained Bart Simpson t-shirt, and tight-rolled stone-washed blue jeans.
Agree. Assaulted or raped someone in the past? Okay. That’s a problem and we should care. Racist costume at Halloween 30 years ago? Should have been offended back then. People change. Let’s jusge these people based on, eh, let’s say their behavior in the last 10 years or so.
Spot on, You Kay.
And to be clear for the Junior crowd: in 1979, this picture would have invoked outrage in all of us.
I get it was 40 years ago but good grief. I have never worn blackface and don't know anyone who has and I'm white boy cornbread hillbilly. Goodness sakes.
I will be in the minority here but to use todays standards to crucify people of yesteryear is WRONG. 25 years from now there will be something written or pictures taken today that will not live up to that days standards. You can go all the way back in History and see this. Look at Robert Byrd. He was the Grand Wizard of the KKK many years ago,yet he was looked at as a great man all the way to his death. How about Norman Lear and his many shows including Archie Bunker. We all laughed!!! That being said you have to look and see where it fits in with what was going on at the time and in that region of the United States before you try to destroy people. You have to see if that person has changed as the times have changed. You learn about History so you don't REPEAT History!!
yeah, I mean electricity and running water weren't even invented yet.....
To be fair, my grandparents in Floyd county actually didn’t have an indoor toilet until 1979, the year I was born.
This is a wise statement.
I've never seen anything like this in my personal life, nor do I condone or support such behavior, but these were kids being idiotic more than racists being racist... the whole reality of racist history in this country and tribal in the world is actually absurd and absurdist humour is one way some people can cope with that reality... additionally it's easy to imagine something like you propose given the same context at this, would a man dressed as some famous female singer for a halloween costume be a funny joke or transphobic?
The NCAA just released statement and cleared UNC of any wrong doing.
they will say all students were welcome to be involved in lynchings, some just had different roles....
I think what they're saying is, it doesn't matter, it's in the past.
And Upstate North Rightside State just received the death penalty. Ultimately, someone had to pay.
