Georgian school celebrates first intergrated prom

I've always known that those living in the good ol' "Deep South" have always been a little behind the times, but c'mon...

Better late than never, eh?

This will be my life theory from now on. Thank you Kirin.

I was kind of shocked when I read that the principal said this:

"We're gonna get the blacks out there and we're going to start servin' up that king mombo malt liquor and all that stuff."

Who are these people? And why didn't that pregnant girl take the straw out of her mouth before they took the prom pictures?

Re: Georgian school celebrates first intergrated prom

This came as a total shocker to me. I guess no one really ever complained about or was deeply averse to this blatant racism.

On a moral level the fact that it took this long to integrate the proms is beyond disgusting. On a practical level, though, it seems like it wasn't hurting (nor helping) anyone much.

I'm now that much more grateful for the big, usually-friendly mix of white people, black people, brown people, and yellow people at the schools that I've gone to from Elementary all the way up to College.

But it's a good idea! At the black prom they can stop the yard while listening to rap and drinking malt liquor, and at the white prom there can be square dancing and LSD. Everybody's happy.

"The white people have theirs, and the black people have theirs. It's nothing racial at all."

What part of "racial" doesn't she understand...


1. of, pertaining to, or characteristic of one race or the races of humankind.

I'm sure if she had read the dictionary she would have changed her mind.

I would like to meet this person. And shake his hand. For his unbelievablely insightful philosophy on life.
