Uncalled for

Apparently this girl threw an 'Africa' themed party and she posted pictures of it on Facebook and received a ton of backlash. People have labeled her a racist and the whole party has deeply offended a lot of people.

Now, besides the KKK outfit, is this really offensive to black people? There are Greek parties thrown all the time where people dress up in togas and bed sheets; there are cowboy parties, redneck parties, penis parties, etc.

Being a young white male, I have no idea why minorities are so offended by their appearance(or the pain slavery has caused the great great great grandchildren of slaves), so perhaps Rmolin, Big Daddy, Con_Alma, Gblock, or maybe even LJ can explain this to me.

Thanks. Feel free to post other questions about black people so we all can gain a better understanding of the black culture. I am also available to answer any questions about white people that our African friends may have. : thumbup:
