observation 6

There are so many issues that can easily be argued 2 (or more) ways. I think a really good example of that was the scandal that happened at Clemson last year where there was a party held where everyone was suppose to dress up as black people. I can honestly say that this is something that can easily be argued either way with sufficient evident. The people who held the party said that is was completely in good fun and there was absolutely no harm intended in any way. I can understand that and in some ways agree with it. The party was just a bunch of college students having a good time and it was nothing that was meant to be taken seriously to any extent at all. At the same time, there is a clear other side to this as well. Racism is a very sensitive issue for many people and with all the different themes to choose for a party, this probably should not of been one of them. I can understand how African Americans would be offended that people were coloring their body and doing other outrageous things like that. IT is not nice or respectful in any way that I can understand and relate to how that would be offensive. This was definitely a case where there are two strong counter-arguments and sometimes it is very difficult to really see which one is correct.
