P.C.U. School Of Law Part II
The follow up to yesterday's story: Students Circle The Round Table For Frank Talk On Divisive Party. Here's a bit more about the "offensive" party.
Photos from the off-campus party, posted on the popular Facebook.com website, offended some students and staff because they depicted mostly white law school students dressed in baggy jeans, puffy jackets, sideways baseball hats, some holding machine guns and 40-ounce malt liquors. Some photos had captions from rap lyrics.
And after not really describing anything being resolved or even anything that was said at these meetings, the piece ends with:
Maurice Headley, another black law student, described it as an example of "unconscious racism," racism so institutionalized in the power structure of today's society that someone doesn't have to actually call someone a racial slur to be insulting.
If you ask me, this party sounds like almost anything you'd find in a typical MTV or BET video. I'd really like to know how on earth this is racism - I'd be really really really curious to know.
