Seems like Georgia's should be the opposite.

I'd heard that this still happened in parts of Georgia, but that was like 10 years ago. I had no idea this was still a reality. How on earth can anyone be okay with this??
"When the actor Morgan Freeman offered to pay for last year’s first-of-its-kind integrated prom at Charleston High School in Mississippi, his home state, the idea was quickly embraced by students — and rejected by a group of white parents, who held a competing “private” prom."
What. The. Fuck.
Also,
"Principal Luke Smith says the school has no plans to sponsor a prom, noting that when it did so in 1995, attendance was poor."
Ahh, so attendance is so much more important than equality. Right. I'm gonna go cut someone now.
PS: why don't black people ever smile??!! omg omg ;)
