Clemson Students Commemorate Dr. King 
Latest racially-themed party featured blackface, enhanced rears 
 JANUARY 30--Along with questionable racially-themed college parties in 
Texas <http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0125071mlk1.html>
and Connecticut
<http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0125072uconn1.html> ,
students at Clemson University in South Carolina dressed in blackface
for a party they dubbed "Living the Dream" and which came a day before
the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Photos from the off-campus bash
were posted on Facebook.com and then yanked when fellow students
protested. Four of the pictures can be found on the following pages.
Attendees at the January 14 party drank from 40-ounce bottles of malt
liquor, which were duct-taped to their hands. Additionally, some female
partygoers stuffed their pants to make their backsides look larger,
while other students wore gold teeth, or grills. In an e-mail sent today
to students, Clemson President James Barker said that he was "appalled,
angered, and disappointed" upon learning of the party, which he said
"appeared to mock and disparage African-Americans." He added that a
school investigation has been launched to determine whether university
policies were violated. (4 pages)
