Story in our local paper inflames lefties. Excerpt:
"Officials from the national chapter of Kappa Delta sorority are investigating a report that the Bloomington chapter of the sorority house participated in a themed event that demeaned the homeless this week.
Heidi Roy, director of communications for Kappa Delta sorority’s national headquarters in Memphis, Tenn., issued a response on Friday to the “cultural insensitivity” of members of its Sigma Upsilon chapter at Indiana University.
“National and local leaders of Kappa Delta sorority were recently made aware of an inappropriate event theme that perpetuated insensitivity toward the homeless community. Kappa Delta does not condone these actions or any language that demeans an individual or group. We continue to investigate and will respond accordingly,” Roy stated in a news release."
Here is my sampling of comments by readers on this story today:
I never did care for sororities or fraternities, so I'm really
not surprised at anything they do. These girls are ignorant, self-absorbed
infants.
the Greek system loves to collect for national charities, but
wouldn't raise a hand to help local homeless folks. Guess adults who are down
and out aren't as glamorous as kids with cancer at Riley
It's easy mocking and deriding other human beings while tucked
away in ivory towers, but none of these little fascists would dare go down to
shalom center with that crap, nor would any punk-a$$ white boy go to the hood
and act like a jackass...if they did, they'd get a large dose of reality that
conflicted with what they've been programmed to believe.
wonder if the girls see the irony; they are poking fun at the
unemployed who use cardboard signs to solicit handouts from strangers.
Unemployed sorority members use their cell phones to solicit handouts from
Mommy & Daddy.
Typical that conservatives would show up in support of spoiled
white chicks to laugh at the expense of a marginalized disenfranchised group.
My own comment on the story:
The prejudice, racism and class warfare shown by the lefties is here for all to see. Without knowledge of the facts or knowing the girls involved the sorority is criticized for: 1. being white, 2, being in a sorority, 3. being fascists (a favorite lefty slur), 4. being spoiled (by parents who care about their kids??), 5. giving to national charities ( how evil!). One commenter indirectly threatens violence .
