Dook Lacrosse woman player wears racist costume

I thought we were past all of this, and it is bad enough that a faculty member approved it:

The obsession continues.

I think she just stopped by on her way to UNC. There was a cross-burning out in front of Saunders Hall.

It figures you would support something blatantly racist.

Normally I would agree, but this has a bad bad history and their ignorance is no excuse.

RE: Dook Lacrosse woman player wears racist costume

How many Duke students did this? Probably only one. A whole sorority at UNC showed this racist display:

Their ignorance is no excuse.

Did they paint their faces brown?

Had they done that and had University approval, it would be equivalent.

Well obviously Duke didn't approve. Ya know since they took the picture down from the website. The lax coach threw a costume party for Halloween. I don't think she made the team get their costumes approved ahead of time, Mr. Sensitive.

Apparently racism at Dook is widespread, and it cuts both ways:
