Brickbat: Gone With the Wind

After members of a fraternity at the University of Oklahoma were caught on video using racial slurs, officials at the University of Georgia called a meeting with their own Greek organizations to talk to them. About hoop skirts. After the meeting, hoop skirts were banned at Greek events. School officials claim the Greeks made the decision on their own. But officials acknowledge the ban came after they spoke to Greek leaders about how frats and sororities "present" themselves.

WTF
OT: Um, wut?

Sounds about right. College campuses have become bastions of untrammeled leftist lunacy.
on the other hand what is trammeled leftist lunacy?
Well, I guess that would be leftist lunacy that is somewhat restrained, which is no longer the case on campuses.
I'm sure some people are thinking it, but I'll be the one to say it: doesn't this seem a little revisionist in nature? Stars and Bars, I can understand, but dresses? Do "enlightened Yankee progressives" really hate the South that much?
Probably...
OT: As a Reasonoid frat rat, I'm a little disappointed that they didn't take the opportunity to link to TSM.
Do "enlightened Yankee progressives" really hate the South that much?
Their hate is even greater than you think. This is only what they will let on publicly.
You could say the hate flows through them
If my friend from Boston is any indication I would have to think the answer is 'yes'.
Of course, in Boston, "the South" begins at the South End of Boston.
Unfortunately all that hate ruins the flavor of the meat. My bosses are actually building large play pens to calm them down first. Just in case you were wondering about the large reptile sightings at the FEMA camps.
I. KNEW. IT!
/Pats foil hat
you just compromised your hat.
Actually the tin foil hats lock in the juices...
More than that. It's not like hoop skirts were worn exclusively by Southerners. They are banning the reenactment of any woman from that time period.
Well, it's easier to ignore problems in your own backyard and not take responsibility for your own actions if you can blame someone else.
Especially, if you can say it's because of hate.
"We've made a lot of progress," Wilson said. "This is just one more step."
"Fiddle-dee-dee!" BOOM!!
"As God is my witness, I'll never wear hoop skirts again!"
I'm guessing someone in the uga admin never liked the hoop skirts for some completely unrelated reason and used the oklahoma incident as cover to ban them.
I blame Mark Richt.
Can they wear saggy skirts?
I have gone through my entire year's supply of WTF! before the end of the first quarter. Anyone have some surplus that they want to sell?
I've got several cases. Make me an offer.
(I've also got about a half dozen pints of Are you fucking kidding me?'s if you're interested.)
They should ban all themed frat parties because the object of the theme is either a misappropriation and denigration of someone's culture that they like, or an emulation of someone's culture that they don't like.
