Relevant excerpt:
ALBANY, Ga. - A year after holding their first integrated prom, some students at Taylor County High School have decided to again hold a separate, private party for whites only.

While many whites say they still plan to attend next week's integrated prom, the decision to hold the whites-only prom this Friday saddened senior Gerica McCrary, who helped organize last year's dance.

"I cried," said McCrary, who is black. "The black juniors said, 'Our prom is open to everyone. If you want to come, come.'"

Juniors are in charge of planning the prom each year and last year they decided to have just one dance — the first integrated prom in 31 years in the rural Georgia county 150 miles south of Atlanta.

Until then, parents and students organized separate proms for whites and blacks after school officials stopped sponsoring dances, in part because they wanted to avoid problems arising from interracial dating.
Ask me if I'm surprised. It's fucking Georgia; they can whine all day long about how it's not fair to say that their state is full of fucking racists, but shit like this keeps happening.

In any normal place, the people proposing the whites-only prom would be ostracized and nobody would be at their prom but them. But in Georgia, it's just business as usual.

Go read your Bible, "Fundamentalist Moron." I'm sure you can find a scripture to justify your segregation.
In California? Nah. You won't even find this kind of forced segregation in most places in the South, but that doesn't make the existence of it in isolated locales any less embarassing.

True. But there are places that might as well be segregated up here. There are some small farming towns that I have had the misfortune of living in up here in the northern part.

Every time I think the UK has racism problems I just look over the pond and breath a sigh of relief.

How can people actually propose such things, in the rest of the first world this sort of thing would be unthinkable not just because its racist but simply because there is no point to it, especially not when it is a backwards step.

Translation: "I don't think it's such a big deal that you should get worked up over it". I've heard this kind of attitude before. It generally comes from people who recognize that something is not right, but don't see it as a big issue because it won't personally affect them for some reason. "Moral apathy" is the term most often used to describe this.

Yeah, most of your fellow fundies share that attitude. Look at the Bob Jones University; they had a ban on interracial dating up until a few years ago.

Falcon, WTF with you? The students, both black and white go to the same school so why shouldn't they go to the same prom? Any problems that arise from interracial dating usually come from either of the parents being bigots.

It's Georgia. Fucking Georgia. Why can't al-Quada attack Georgia? I mean, who would miss it? It's nothing but goddamn racist and creationist.

This is why I love living in Pittsburgh. None of this shit happens. And it's funny every time I hear some far right winger type claim that such racism doesn't exist anymore.

No, I just mean that it isn't within my rights, powers, nor duty to interfear with this practice though I find it morally abhorrent. Is that clear enough for you?

Is the fact that you are a fuck tard clear enough for you? Since you are a "Christian," you should be the first in line to shoot down evil in any form. If you think segregation is not evil, then you are stupider than I thought.

Nice backpedalling from your original "I don't care" statement.

From what I hear, they're pretty damned racist there too. I hear a lot of very anti-Korean and anti-Chinese stuff from there. Just goes to show that there's plenty of stupid to go around.

Well, I have never experience racism from the Japanese, but I have heard that the older generations can be a bit racist. But hell, there are virtually NO fundies there (except the missionaries)! How could I NOT move there?

From what i've hear the old guard there and the old guard here are pretty much the same. Expect Japanese-only gentleman's clubs, golf clubs, and a great deal of petty racism towards Koreans and other "lesser" asian peoples. The Japanese aren't any less prone to such things than we are here- in fact, in some ways, they are more prone to it, simply in different ways.

At first I thought, "Ho-Ly crap! I can't believe any school would endorse a white prom!" and then I read that they were not involved. However, why are the whitey's having their prom 50 miles away? Isn't there a barn big enough to hold them all?
