You apparently didn't learn much at J-school either, first about the differences between libel and slander, and second that neither could apply here when no one was identified, directly or indirectly.

OMG get a life. It refers to tire - guests only wear white.

Liberals always pull out the race card.

Not effective anymore but they keep trying.

White us the new curse word for them.

Pathetic.

Being on the outside of white privilege is not a game for Black people, so no cards will need to be "played".

And just to add, that aside, the history of segregation at the site is what makes this offensive--not the mere color white for clothing.

I’m originally from the West Coast but wasn’t like everytplace segregated out here at one point? I don’t get it. I mean most of America was tribal so do you feel bad owning your house since it was likely tribal? So weird.

+1.

But I believe previous poster was using some black humor.

So funny.

Totally agree. Call it the White Fest, or White Activity. The word "party" is so politically charged. And how can some people party with so much injustice in the world? Resist!

There were no drugs or drinking there. Some kids did come drunk but that is on their parents not on the chaperones. There was a stink bomb set off but it wasn't that big of a deal.

I agree completely. Why do things always get so out of reality? I am a teacher and mother who dropped her daughter off. That is on the parents who dropped the kids off that were drunk-- not the party. As my husband said, there were 95% of kids there who were great.

I can't believe you are both okay with your 12 and 13 year olds at a party with drunk 7th and 8th graders. And yes, I know from texts that came into my DS's phone from the party that what the PPs are saying is true: it was a mess.

Very very few 12 yr olds. My kid was 13 last year, is 14 now, and some 8th graders are even 15 . Its middle school, folks. Middle schoolers do dumb things so its on their parents to parent. Do you let your kid go to school mixers? Because the exact same thing goes on at school mixers. I would be furious with my kid(s) if they got drunk or high or did a million other things in middle school which is WHY I keep a close eye them, know what their friends are like, know their friends parents, and have constant conversations with my kid about expectations and consequences and choices. Keeping them home under lock and key is not the answer. This party is fun and most kids just go and dance and have fun without the other stuff.

You sound very nonchalant about drinking in other grade. That is a BIG deal to me.

Why aren't they breathalyzing these kids? They do it for the high school dances.

You can’t keep them under lock and key but you also can be aware that certain kids and certain crowds tend to be a little faster and it sounds to me like this crowd falls into that category at least many of them because my child is in middle school and has never ever been to a party or dance that kids came in and were drunk or puking from being drunk. That is a big big deal and I was in the party crowd but I didn’t start at 12 or 13. More like senior in high school.

Boy I used to think that you people had extremely vivid imaginations. Now I know, for sure! Thanks for the comic relief. If you aren't fiction writers, you should be. Seriously.

There were 800 kids. Apparently one girl showed up drunk. "This crowd" is fine.

Have heard the stories from last night too. No way will I let my son attend this thing. Seems like the same heavy drinking circle that does this sort of thing before plenty of other co-ed middle school dances/events. Sigh. Steering clear of this crowd is part of being at these schools.
