Whats sad is that in the year 2003 people like you and these simpletons (for lack of better words) have yet to step beyond the color of someone else's skin. 50% of the school's population is black, they share the same classes, sports teams, cafeteria, and bathrooms but they can't dance together? Its ridiculous to me that these people feel the need to make this kind of statement to validate their collective 'us versus them' mentality.

I pity these people for not growing up and looking beyond the fences of their plantations.[/b]
Never said I was racist, don't imply that I am. I am for 'fairplay'. If there are member only clubs, black only groups, hispanic only associations etc., etc., why is it wrong to have a white only function?

Does Augusta have a right to males only? Yes. Can N.O.W. be females only? Yes. Can the Boy Scouts exclude gays? Yes. Can fraternities exclude women? Yes. Can sororities exclude men? Yes. Are there female only health clubs? Yes. The list goes on and on. I have no problem with them doing this, period.

I do agree that it should be a dance, not a prom affiliated with the schools name. If that is the case, OK. Have fun kids.

We have raised a bunch of pansies who have to have everything their way. Heaven forbid that there be diversity in America. We are all different people, different likes, dislikes and choices in ice cream flavor. We don't all have to think alike, feel a like, act a like.

Tolerance and understanding? Yes. Capitulation to a central thought process where the individual is lost? Oh hell no.
