"There's a very simple test to see if something is racist. Just go to a heavily populated black area, and do the thing that you think isn't racist, and see if you live through it." ~ Reeve on the Clearly Racist Re-Nig Bumper Sticker and its Creator.

Rebel Prom Dress Girl Says
She's not racist because "I got too many friends that are black and mixed."
Swear to God, I can't make it up. The video clip isn't online yet, but I saw it on the news tonight. I will post the video if it's uploaded tomorrow.

Re: Rebel Prom Dress Girl Says
What? I love all my mixed friends. I love to mix up my mixed friends, take them to Dave and Busters, and make 'em do that "what would your kids look like" game. Good times.
In all seriousness, she is super special. D-U-M, dumb. I so want to see the video.

Lol
Bwahahaha.
I'd love to hear what these black kids she calls her friends have to say about it. Somehow I don't think they see the relationship the same way.
I'm picturing a sparkly confederate flag, maybe mermaid style?
Forget the fact that yes, it's offensive, it's just down right tacky.
my read shelf:
It's in one of the previous threads. Very sparkly, hit below the knee.
Honest question. Do HS aged teens still view the confederate flag the same way we do?
UUUUGH.
Sometimes I wonder why people still think they can use this line. Then I open Newsweek and see an article that basically says, "This white kid yelled 'White Power!' before beating up a black man and running him over with a truck, but he's not racist because he has black friends who say he isn't."
Update! Story with video:
