"Jim Crow on Fraternity Row"

What do I think of this? PATHETIC. Reading the article "Jim Crow on Fraternity Row" I was uncomfortable and utterly baffled at the thought that anyone in their right mind would find dressing up as the KKK and pretend hanging someone in black face acceptable or funny. Yes these men were in a fraternity and just joking around but honestly how stupid can you be? As college students, particularly in the south, I would think that they would have received more than just a BASIC understanding of what went on during the civil rights movement and before that. There is no way to justify these students actions because lynching and the KKK are two subjects that are taken VERY seriously, they are not in any way jokes. While looking at the different pictures taken at at these parties I couldn't help but laugh at the sheer ignorance of those men. Yes, I was also laughing at what was being depicted in the pictures because of how utterly insane these "men" must be. Idiotic, disturbed, and totally uneducated are just a couple of adjectives that describe these men, their actions, and the pictures that were taken.
