Macalester (College) looking into party involving KKK costume, blackface

[deadparrot]

Macalester College officials are investigating after students held a "politically incorrect" themed party in which one student apparently dressed as a Ku Klux Klan member while another wore blackface with a noose around his neck.

Students told administrators about the Jan. 16 party, and a campus-wide discussion was planned for Tuesday.

"My initial reaction was shock," said Paul Maitland-McKinley, a member of the Black Liberation Affairs Committee, a student group. "I thought, this can't really happen on my campus."

He said a friend told him the party was built around the "politically incorrect" theme.

3. In America today, it's better to be a racist than "politically correct"
