Race Rant #3 - MLK, Jr. Parties

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!
On MLK, Jr. day, I waited in a ridiculous line, at the Atlanta History Center, to see King's papers unveiled on the day we were to honor him. But this is how a few college kids spent King day....

Clemson Party:



A few years back, students at Tarleton State University, in Texas, started a new trend for White college kids. They hosted the first - or first to be documented - "Martin Luther King, Jr. Day" party meant to mock stereotypes and things common in Black culture. Clemson students had one this year.

I'm speechless....
