More racism charged

Antebellum Kentucky Derby party cancelled when called racist

So the ladies dress in fancy attire such as may have been worn around the time the derby started which was after the Civil War. What's wrong with that? Instead they'll change to a "Woodstock" theme. Wonderful. No mint juleps, I guess but some other type of M.J.? We're upside down, folks.

Should not have said "antebellum" as it was post Civil War. My error.

Sort of hypocritical isn't it? Are racist clothes like Mormon underwear? The whole thing is so stupid, but it's their sorority. Maybe they will see alumni support dry up and watch what happens then, LOL. Whoops, alumni support can do what it wants to also.
