All Are Invited To Attend This Class Reunion Party -- So Long As You're White

[FusedMass]

A letter that lists a "white graduates only" party as one of the activities planned for a class reunion has sparked outrage after it was leaked online.

For nearly 40 years, graduates from the St. Martinville, La., Senior High School Class of 1973 have been holding racially segregated class reunions.

But this year, ABC affiliate KATC reports that the graduates decided to change that tradition, making the reunion a non-segregated affair.

However, a letter announcing the change included an after party for "white graduates only."

Michael Kreamer, who is the principal of the Louisiana school, said he found the letter distressing.

"I'm just a little disappointed that something like this comes up," he told KATC. "I don't think that it looks good for the school, but again as I said it has nothing to do with St. Martinville Senior High. So I hope people don't take that the wrong way."

According to reports, a reception is going to be held at the school at the end of September, followed by the homecoming football game. The letter notes that "all graduates are welcome to attend" those events.


After the game, however, "white graduates only" have been invited to gather at a classmate's home. Invitees are encouraged to bring a "food dish to share."

Liza Chance, one of the organizers of the event, told KATC that she was bewildered by this backward step.

"This is just a start it's a beginning, it needs to go forward. I don't understand why this went the way it did," she said.

The letter has caused quite a "stir" after making headlines this week, UPI notes.

People have been taking to social media platforms like Facebook to express their displeasure.

"'We've been doing this for the last 30 years,' totally excuses three decades of discrimination and the burden of inequality. I'm glad that they found a way to fix this terrible indiscretion in 2012 and finally decide to integrate like it's 1960, or was that the mistake? I can't think of an intelligent person I know who would ever think it was okay to write or plan anything exclusively for 'White People,'" commented one man from Lafayette, La.

This is not the first "white only" event that has caused a furor in recent months.

According to a July report by the Huffington Post, Pastor William J. Collier and his Church of God's Chosen were planning on holding a "white only" Christian conference in Alabama.

"We don't have the facilities to accommodate other people. We haven't got any invitations to black, Muslim events. Of course we are not invited to Jewish events and stuff," Collier said in way of explanation.

I'm not sure what the purpose of complaining about this is.

Yeah, it's pretty shit headed but no one can legally say "You have to invite these people to your party".

[smelltheglove]

it wasnt the school that did this, so that contains my outrage. basically it's just some assholes wanting their reunion to be their own little klan meeting. if you are asking if the people responsible are pieces of shit, the answer is yes

Just go there as a black man with party materials and burst through the door with your hands in the air, singing.


Fuck the haters.

the kind of racist mind that thinks the "all white" reunion was a good idea in the first place might just be the type to keep a rope handy. just saying

[dd614]

This kind of thing is only racist if whites do it.

This is also very true.

Don't give liberals any ideas or they'll propose laws against bad taste.

That's kind of a strange thing to say, seeing as the opposite... doesn't really seem to have occurred? Nor would it be any less racist to hold a "black only" party.

Shifting the blame leads you nowhere.

yes, it's all part of the liberal plan to plug us all in to the matrix.

It's their party and they cry if they want to.

[Venant]

I wonder if racism exists in other countries, like China for instance

don't forget black only dating site and it was not considered racist.

[Garnier Fructis]

So, what's the problem? Yes they are racist bastards, but it has nothing to do with the school itself. They aren't breaking any laws and they have every right to decide who can and can't go to their party. I don't agree with them, but I definitely would not agree with any legal action either.

lol, but in seriousness, liberal lawmakers do legislate behavior.

no, but there are black only churches, and black only dating websites.

Reading the article it says the class reunions have always been segregated and this is the first year that they are inviting everyone. The after party is still segregated... but seems like they are taking steps. I see nothing wrong with baby steps as long as they are in the right direction...

Hate is learned, not something were born with. While horrified that this still goes on, I'm not surprised (if I can separate those two states of mind).

Wh...where are you even going with this?

This isn't about blacks being racist, this is about whites being racist.

Of course blacks can be racist too, but that doesn't have anything to do with this particular story.


You do not make sense.
