Citadel Stunned After Photos of Cadets Looking Like KKK Emer

[93henfan]

Citadel, Ghosts, Past, White sheets with eye holes

Yeah, just a big coincidence JSO. No intent at all to resemble the klan. Just some young men singing carols together.

Are you serious? Can you not see that if somebody decides they're going to dress as a "ghost" they run the risk of having someone say "Klan?"

If you decide you're going to dress as a ghost, what are you going to do? If you put a sheet over yourself and put eye holes in it someone might say you look like the Klan. And these guys didn't even do that. They had shirts and pants. They didn't have "robes," which is what the Klan has.

Your trolling sucks. These guys knew exactly what they were doing. Give the Citadel boys some credit. They know how to party like it's 1899. They shouldn't have taken pics though.

[Wedgebuster]

Ya can hang 'em on a tree, but they'll never sign with me...

[CitadelGrad]

You non-Citadel guys don't even get the Ghost of Christmas Past reference. When I was a cadet, a ghost known as Blinky appeared in Charlie Company. It was there for a couple of months and scared the shit out of a lot of cadets, faculty, administrators and military officers. These cadets in the photo were from Charlie Company. Since the ghost incident many years ago, Charlie Company has been known informally as Casper Company.

So there's a little context for you.

Shut that fucking shithole down. Waste of taxpayer money.

No it isn't- it's a bargain. The cheap ass state of SC supports The Citadel at a whopping 8%.

What's the matter with you? Don't know an inauthentic KKK get up when you see it?

BTW, I wonder if there were any black cadets involved.

[Baldy]

That is a ridiculous over reaction. Those are not Klan outfits. I mean come ON.

A Klan outfit is a robe. There's no "shirt and pants" look. This is ridiculous.

It's called Klan Kasual...

So, a hood with a point at the top ISN'T Klan outfit until there's a white robe on? Seems like a stupid position.


These kids made a stupid mistake. They probably didn't intend to look like the Klan, but that's what's happened.

Social media will be the downfall of America.

For once, I agree. I work with a lot of grads and was speaking with 2 of them yesterday who told this same story.


I'm so glad Facebook/Social Media wasn't around when i was in college.

[bluehenbillk]

It'd probably be easier to have a picture of the non-racists at the Citadel wouldn't it?

[CID1990]

From what Ive gotten today it is looking increasingly like it might have been the ghost story- but still they were stupid an need to stomp the quad.

It still doesn't explain why they were trying to get the girl not to share the pics, unless she told them she was going to do it because she thought it was a klan parody

either way, Sharpton Inc. is going to demand Rosa's resignation and I really hope he stands up to them

National Action Network is already calling for it. I don't see what his resignation would accomplish. I hope he stands up to them.

He will.

We have a habit of circling the wagons, and our students aren't the types that slather patchouli oil all over themselves and lay down in the streets in protest.

In a way, I have this hope that in response to being told to pound sand, Sharton will incite BLM to try to disrupt the campus somehow. BLM is tougher than the Princeton band, but they'll still get it handed to them by the SCNG.

[Skjellyfetti]

I do remember the Citadel student body and alumni getting their panties in a bunch about a Princeton band halftime performance.

The Girl Scouts complain less when offended

The complaining was done by the Princeton band and the media after the Corps kicked their asses for their intentional disrespect.

And then we kicked their silly, cute little football team's ass, too. Twice, for good measure.

Princeton has a football team..?

Not after we got done with them.

Citadel vs Princeton band? Take El Cid and the points.

Those outfits do NOT look like KKK outfits. Not only do they have pants and shirts but the hoods don't have the "long point." People are just looking for reasons to be offended.

Maybe their chapter has a different dress code than yours?

When you want to be a ghost, John, the sheet goes over your head, like on every Halloween that's ever been. you know that. You really do. I think you're still sore about "that negro in the Whitehouse", John. Amirite?

[JohnStOnge]

Your trolling sucks. These guys knew exactly what they were doing.

Good GRIEF guys. This is ridiculous. If they "knew exactly what they were doing" and they were trying to look like the Klan they'd have been wearing robes instead of white T shirts and pants. If you guys can find me a single picture of Ku Klux Klan people at a rally in white T shirts and pants instead of robes or sheets I might re consider. But I don't think you're going to be able to.

If they'd have done that they'd have looked more like KKK people than they did with what they had on.
