Let them come visit us here in Texas and their discomfort at the unavoidable proximity of Mexicans and Katrina-displaced black people is fucking tangible.

It might be they're just uncomfortable being in a different culture, too. I'd be just as uncomfortable around white rural southerners as I would be black rural southerners.

What I find most unbelievable about this story is that most of the kids just seem to go along with it. When I was in highschool, most people seemed desperate for any cause that will show the "man" can't tell them what to do. The best anyone could find is getting high before the dances. But these kids are faced with cartoonish racism, and the shrug and go eat chicken? What the hell Georgian teenagers?

Very amusing. Everyone knows that Texans are incapable of advanced social structures, as they communicate entirely by picking fleas off each other and grunting.

"After the last couple were announced, after they watched the white people�s father-daughter dance and then, along with the other bystanders, were ushered by chaperones out the door, Kera and her friends piled into a nearby KFC to eat. Whatever elation they felt for their dressed-up classmates was quickly wearing off."

Shit.

I know the "fixed that for ya" gag is played out, but I fixed that for ya.

these segregated prom stories are a yearly novelty. oh look a small town in the south is still backwards and openly practices racism, like this should somehow make us forget the rest of the institutional racism that exists in every other part of this country. wagging a finger at the south like the bad dog for shitting openly on the carpet doesn't hide the fact that you still have a cat shitting in the litterbox filled with cat litter that doesn't quite mask the smell.

See, the South has been using that excuse since before the civil war. "You have problems in the north, so you can't criticize our society for being absurdly backward." While it is true that we sometimes use the overt racism in the South to distract from racial strife in the north, at least we don't still have racially segregated proms.

You say here that the south has been using that excuse since before the civil war...then you provide a quote!!!

Can you tell us who said it, when they said it (before the war) and where it was published? Cause, I'm curious.

If you are from the north, I would not accuse you of racism (although, your little blurb just confirmed it for all of us) but, I would accuse you of being a knee-jerk reactionary...and a liar. Don't make quotes up and attribute your opinions to an entire region....over 150 years ago!!!

sorry, liar and idiot. sorry if words hurt...but, I don't think all the north is this way...just you!

Listen, just because the black kids didn't want to share their chicken with you and your white honkey friends doesn't mean you have to get all bitter about it.

I refuse to just sit back and let our nice, racist thread be hijacked by some dong-gobbling hillbilly who has somehow managed to get access to a computer. It's like the raptor opening that goddamn door in Jurassic Park. Isn't there a Toby Keith concert somewhere that this guy can fuck off to?

Actually, one of the justifications for racism and slavery in the pre-Civil War South was that capitalists in the North mistreated and underpaid black workers too, so slavery wasn't all that bad since the slave masters in the South provided room and board for their slaves. The excuse that racism happens in the North as well as the South was used before that time, too, but this is the first example I thought of off the top of my head.
