Thread Name: BS: How sad - whites only prom in Georgia
Subject: RE: BS: How sad - whites only prom in Georgia
I just saw an update on the local news. The reporters did their best to embarass the people heading into the "Whites only" prom (which was held here in Columbus) by interviewing them and asking them if they didn't consider what they were doing to be racist. The students didn't come out of the encounter looking too good. Neither did the company that owns the place where it was held.

GUEST,pdc, I think if you speak up about it when you're in Atlanta, you'll be preaching to the choir. Atlanta and Taylor County may be geographically close, but culturally, they're worlds apart.
