It was during the height of the civil rights movement. I never did anything racist either.

I do remember some other students, mostly frat guys, who did and said some very racist things. I am not saying all frat guys were like that. Many of them were ashamed of what their peers were doing. But I wonder how many of those young guys are now sorry that they behaved like assholes. I would bet at least a few of them are.

I hope this group comes to realize that they are being stupid and offensive, and they come to regret it.
