Blackface, KKK hoods and mock lynchings: Review of 900 yearbooks finds blatant racism
h/t Instapundit[USAToday] The old yearbook photos capture the lighthearted moments from college worth remembering ‐ smiling faces, pep rallies and cans of cheap beer. But tucked in and among those same pages are pictures of students dressed in Ku Klux Klan robes and blackface, nooses and mock lynchings, displays of racism not hidden but memorialized as jokes to laugh about later. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, a stunning number of colleges and university yearbooks published images of blatant racism on campus, the USA TODAY Network found in a review of 900 publications at 120 schools across the country. IMO, it was people - white and black making a joke of the evil past - which, they believed, is gone for ever. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2019-02-21 |
