		<description>the point has been lost here... forget Kathryn, forget who is and is not a douchbag. the bottom line is that some of these students have been misguided...it does not matter if thug is not dictionary defined as solely black, that is the way it's interpreted therefore taken in by the public. it does not matter if the minority students participated or not. the point is: whether it was meant to be racist or NOT (which in many cases it wasnt, i know) there is a problem with taking a serious matter and turning it into a joke. just because the civil rights movement is over does mean that we dont have a long way to go towards making a better society for each other. to make light of and celebrate stereotypes is to take backwards steps in an extremely important situation. kathryn and every other student who has posted, im sure you never meant to be racist, and i know it hurts to be called racist because it judges the contents of your character. but you MUST be aware of the inequality that comes from these kinds of celebrations. and just because you celebrate a "country club day" where you celebrate the wealthy supremicy of the white race, that really doesnt negate the problem at all. the problem here is not with the teenagers of hp, it is with the teachers, administrators and parents who have not discussed the sensatiivity of the subject with their children and therefore perpetuated and allowed an innapropriate tradition continue.</description>

		<description>Oh, and BTW-I thought your post above was the dumbest thing ever posted on the internet. I was wrong and for that I apologize. You actually took the time to come back to this post and respond to me with more whining. "Feel good knowing that in order to state your opinion, you’re making fun of a little teenage girl?" BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yeah, as a matter of fact it does make me feel pretty good. Not only are you a douchebag, you are a finalist in the Douchebag of the Year Contest (TM). 


"Why is everyone taking anything I said so personally? And personally attacking me in return?" Ummm, like why is everyone being, like not nice to me? BWUAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH!
 


Congratulations, Kathryn. Have you prepared an acceptance speech?</description>

		<description>"make fun of me because I disagree."



Here again we have your persecution complex. Nobody "made fun of you" because you disagreed, but took issue with the haughty tone of your posts. It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable (as you were). You can't write people a bunch of insulting garbage, then site back and play the victim without being called on it. You are the very definition of a hypocrite. And I don't care how much you keep whining about this.</description>

		<description>I apologize for my conduct on this website. I am a pretentious degenerate and promise to have myself steralized before I have a chance to breed. Once again, I am a truly useless person. Thanks!</description>

		<description>"Wow. This is officially ridiculous. I love how I’m the 18 year old and you all are the adults, my guess middle aged and approaching some sort of life crisis, making fun of me. Feel good knowing that in order to state your opinion, you’re making fun of a little teenage girl? That’s truly mature. I can’t wait to grow up and be as mature as all of you. Why is everyone taking anything I said so personally? And personally attacking me in return? All I am doing is stating my opinions on the matter, as are all of you. I have the right to free speech, I have the right to declare my thoughts. I never said anything about anyone specifically other than myself and my family. And you are all telling me to get a life? This is all so middle school… make fun of me because I disagree. I guess my maid taught me better life lessons than yours’ did."




Truly pathetic. Kathryn thought she'd come here and dazzle everyone with the thesaurus she swallowed and is now angered that she got her ass handed to her, hence the juvenile attempt at insults..</description>

		<description>Priceless LOL! The pretentious douchebag entered yet another moronic flame, confirming how much my post affected her. You just couldn't resist, could you, douchebag? 
Kathryn appears to believe that sarcasm can mask her insecurity. Please die, now. Thanks.</description>

		<description>"And finally, my argument about the lack of racism in what we did. Dictionary.com defines “thug” as a “hoodlum"..."



BWUAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA! Wow, I think I've finally found it. This is the dumbest thing ever posted anywhere on the internet. Congratulations, Kathryn, you're an idiot. And she actually went to a dictionary to look this up as a comeback in a flamewar. What a pretentious douchebag. 


LMAO!!!!!!!



Kathryn: Dictionary.com defines "douchebag" as "a teenage girl who spends her evenings skulking the internet in self-righteous indignation. Or one who writes hilariously pretentious posts when she is offended by someone else's opinion."



I regret to inform you that you are a confirmed douchebag.</description>
