Students at Tarleton State University are being strongly criticized by the NAACP as well as several other organizations after photos of a party thrown on Martin Luther King Day were posted on the internet site Facebook, and then placed on TSG.
It appears that the party involved several white students dressed in gang attire, Afro whigs, and even one girl dressed as Aunt Jemima.
When asked about the photos the student who posted the pictures, Jeremy Pelz, responded that the party was not supposed to be "racist or discriminating." The party, according to Pelz, was started a few years earlier "because one of best friends is black or African American, whichever you deem politically correct, to be his day not to dishonor him." Word whether his "black friend" attended the party was not available.
The University has launched an investigation into the party.
