I mentioned it on another thread, but my colleague Rhae Lynn is a boss. I'm pleased to see her work getting a lot of national, public-facing attention.

do boys ever stop being "just boys?"
Sorry, missed this comment. Should it be something that someone would consider when voting for somebody? sure. Is this an impeachable "offense" since it really isn't an offense at all? He did nothing illegal.
For the record, I think anybody who wears blackface and hangs out with somebody else in a KKK outfit at a party is a raging douche. And the KAs at GT and Wake when I went to school were both assortments of raging douches. But that isn't an impeachable offense. This isn't a vote of no confidence.
I don't even know what the hell you are talking about (except some intrinsic need to sound above it all).
Do you think that this is an impeachable offense?
Are we going to apply the same standard to Bernie Sanders and his misogynistic rape fantasy writings?

The UVa yearbook is
named for blackface.

“The state’s flagship university, the University of Virginia (where Herring’s performance took place), embraced blackface enthusiastically, especially once the Civil War meant that the school could no longer rely on income from hiring out enslaved people it owned to work on nearby plantations. Starting during Reconstruction, U-Va. made blackface a part of its fundraising strategy. In 1886 or 1887, the official University Minstrel Troupe donated the proceeds of its show to the construction of the university chapel, where couples continue to marry each year. The show, which included a “stump speech” — a stand-up comedy routine lampooning black politicians — also featured a “Berlesque of Mikado,” probably in yellowface.
For decades, the U-Va. minstrel troupe “sweetly” sang in “darky dialect,” as their programs put it, to raise funds. During World War I, a university-sponsored minstrel show took place on the steps of the Rotunda. The school’s yearbook is named “Corks and Curls,” minstrel slang for the burned cork used to blacken faces and the curly Afro wigs that were signature costume pieces (though the yearbook officially denies that’s where the name came from), and scores of old copies highlight the prominence of blackface on campus.”

Should Nabokov be a social pariah?
That’s when RJ was there right? wonder if he saw any of that. Rich southern frat culture is gross, was then is now. I would never pay for my kid to be in a frat.
The only one that was when I was there was the billboard. That was taken as a shot at bigotry. It's not the same as blackface.
Without question KA and Kappa Sig were unashamedly, openly racist and bigoted against non-Christians. Other frats were less so. I would say Lamba Chi had the most diversity during my years.
