A tad distasteful..

So...I've been hearing and reading a lot about the resurgence of the KKK lately, so this morning I decided to search KKK on MSNBC.com and see what articles came up. Surprisingly I found an article about Macalester College in St. Paul. T'was particularly interesting to me, as several of my cousins went there, one was married there, etc.
Apparently, there was a little party on campus where students were invited to come dressed up as politically incorrect individuals. Someone decided to come dressed up as a KKK member and another, a blackface with a noose around the neck. Man I'm sheltered here at SDSU, because I can't even imagine what would happen if something like that happened here. And what's more--I can't imagine the kind of people that think something like that is funny. What kind of a family life did they have??? It's a good school too...

Alison - your posts are very good. Your topics are interesting and varied and you provide thoughtful discussion. You are definitely meeting the assignment requirements - and exceeding them in commentary. Good work!
