JCC Georgia Teens fight for Racially-Integrated Proms, because it's 2013

And then they got cruelly pranked by being led to believe an unoffical prom was being held in one location while everybody else was having a 'no gays' only prom clear across town.

 

What can thoes kids do really besides move out of the crap town as soon as they have the money and skills to do so and not come back.

If the locals are'nt embarassed about their ways now there is little that is going to change them now (besides brute force).

I feel sorry for thoes kids.

 

I came in here just to thank them for making Texas look downright progressive.

 

Nonsense. The school bares some responsibility for condoning and endorsing (silence is endorsement) this crap.

Of course we can. Permission granted to look into it before deciding that the school is blameless here. Watch the news story I linked to, for example.

Ahh...yes. You are certainly lazy and disinterested. That much is very clear. You seem ready to defend a public school that tacitly, if not overtly, endorses overt racism.

Just so I'm clear, overtly racist organized parties that have police support for blocking entrance to minorities are lower on the totem pole of concern than when considering yearbook entries than rude gestures. Got it.

Wow.

 

It probably says something that I considered this normal enough to momentarily wonder why you were nauseated that they were trying to end segregation.

 

Nothing screams southern pride like a group of overweight kids speaking in broken English and pseudo Ebonics while being racially oppressed.

 

Times have definitely changed. Twenty years ago, southern women didn't get that fat until they were well into their thirties.

 

And making Virginia seem liberal by comparison.

Props though to those kids trying to actually do something about it.

 

Ugh...just...ugh.

 

wow. Racism is intense. this is just stupid.

 

'Murica.

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal won't be endorsing one high school's effort to have its first integrated prom -- at least for the time being, his spokesman said.​

​

​

In an email to WMAZ-TV, Deal's representative Brian Robinson said the governor would not respond to a progressive nonprofit group's calls to support students' efforts to organize the first integrated prom at Wilcox County High School.​

​

​

"This is a leftist front group for the state Democratic Party and we're not going to lend a hand to their silly publicity stunt," Robinson wrote, according to WMAZ-TV.​

Yet three Republican state representatives have joined four Democrats in endorsing the integrated prom, according to Better Georgia, the group that called for Deal to also support the idea.​

​

​

Wilcox County High School, located in Rochelle, Ga., is planning to have its first integrated prom this year, thanks to the efforts of a small group of students who organized and fundraised for the event. The Georgia NAACP helped the students' effort by lobbying the Wilcox County School Board to end the practice of segregated proms.​

​

​

In the past, students have attended racially segregated proms. The dances were funded by the county's families, not by the school.​

​

​

Still, efforts to organize a prom where students of any race could attend were met with hostility.​

​

​

"I put up posters for the integrated prom and we've had people ripping them down at the school," Keela Bloodworth, one of the students who led the effort to host the integrated event, told WSAV.​

​

​

The school's principal, Chad Davis, said that school officials will consider having an official prom in 2014, according to a statement on the school's website.​

Well, this Nathan Deal is officially my least-liked governor in the country now.

At least the school is "considering" having a real prom next year.

 

Blacks and Whites together in the same dance is a "progressive; leftist" idea.

 

"A silly publicity stunt" Are you ********* kidding me with this guy?!

Is Georgia a one - term state or is this guy up for reelection or what?

 

So, Governor, are you therefore admitting that the state Republican Party supports racial segregation?

 

Every so often, I start to forget why I hate people.

Thank you.
