Frat inspired by Robert E. Lee bans Rebel uniforms
By JAY REEVES
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – A college fraternity inspired by Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee has banned members around the country from wearing Confederate uniforms to "Old South" parties and parades after years of complaints that the tradition was racially insensitive.

Don't necessarily agree, but I can see why this can be a bit of a problem lol:
The decision, announced in an internal memo posted on the group's website, followed a flap last year at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, where a black sorority complained after a KA parade stopped in front of its house on campus. KA members were dressed in the gray uniforms of Confederate officers, and young women wore hoop skirts.
btw, where the hell can you buy a hoop skirt anymore?

That one's not bad. But nowhere NEAR as good as the one you quit.

Lee was a great military mind for the USA prior to the CSA.
