I can understand that argument with respect to blackface even though I respectfully disagree but I move lynching to another level that was never a social norm to make fun of.
Black face was/is fine for Hillary and Bill Clinton though. For some strange reason they get a pass for their past photos meanwhile other people lose their careers. Hmmmm, I wonder why?
You have to look at it as performance art and protected political expression. We have been lectured by liberals for decades that true art is meant to to shock the senses and provoke debate. That is exactly what these images have done. It was the method adopted by fraternity brothers and other traditionalists to protest the relentless leftwing indoctrination and suffocating PC culture that was being imposed in universities at that time.
Yes drunk frat guys were engaging in a deep artistic intellectual exercise right after they had their farting contest and played "I dare you to eat that"
Let me remind you this was the time the Black Panthers were strutting around carrying rifles and threatening people. One of their leaders, the shitbag Bobby Rush, has been a democrat representative from Illinois for a long time. I don't recall anyone demanding he resign or be stripped of committee assignments. Another prominent race hustler of that time led an armed takeover of administrative offices at Cornell. His name is Eric Holder. And let's not forget the conscience of America, at least in MSNBC's eyes, the Rev. Al Sharpton. He fomented a riot that caused deaths in his early days as an aspiring racial arsonist. He then pushed one of the earliest fake hate crimes, the Tawana Brawley fiasco. He tried to get a white policeman and DA sent to prison on ridiculous made-up charges. I will listen to complaints about college students posing for insensitive pictures when these people and others like them are escorted from public life.
It must have been deeply painful to you when you were rejected by every fraternity at junior college and saw the cool guys getting all the best girls. Aspiring performance artists stoking creative genius:
There are tons of things that are ignorant and stupid that kids do. Are you so pure that you regret nothing you did in your teens or 20s? If you do something stupid that did not break the law, you shouldn't be held accountable for it later in life.
