Cindy Brady Bigots: Girls Gone Racist

For the love of white folks, what the hell makes one think Blackface, particularly in the 21st century is cleaver. In a story published by a local tv station, strangely Duke Lacrosse (women's) players felt it was socially and politically astute to pay homage to "The Little Rascals" at a Halloween party. No harm no foul right; well, what about when the character Buckwheat comes into play. An all white girls lacrosse team felt it was ok to dress a fellow player up in blackface. Here is the story: Duke apologizes for player's 'insensitive' Halloween costume http://soc.li/00pspSb You would think that after the Duke Lacrosse debacle from 2006, the only thing Duke Lacrosse would want to do is play some damn lacrosse and stay the hell out of bad press at all costs, especially in matters of race. The coach, who held the party at her house exercised extremely poor cultural literacy. But again, this was obviously intended to fly under the radar. Personally, I've noticed a trend of passive aggressive racial jabs, most notably by white girls who toss provocative racist Molotov cocktails and run for protection after the fact. Two high school girls in Florida had a racial tantrum they launched on YouTube. Fearing for their safety, they sought police protection and transferred to another school. At UCLA, another white girl gone racist, ranted again about Asians in a library in social media. After the university president made a public apology, the "damsel in distress" made her apology and transferred to another university. Most recently, another white girl gone racist acted a complete fool in cyberspace, pissed because President Obama was re-elected. She called Obama a Nigger and wished for his untimely premeditated demise. Really, Cindy Brady? You wished for a hit on the President and wonder why the Secret Service is knocking on your door, let alone lost your job serving ice cream. Message to crazy aloof white racist women: you may act dumb like Chrissy from Threes Company (sorry Suzanne Summers), but stop the madness, seriously.
