So a few hours ago I came across an article about a county in Georgia where the local high school holds not one but two proms every year, which kinda seems cool.  Think about it: two chances for girls to look perfect and for guys to dress to impress ( I for one looked damn good at my prom ), personally I'm starting to think "wow this must be the best county in the whole state, even better than Hazzard county".  But, and this is one big But, the reason this county has two proms is that one prom is for the white kids and one is for the black kids..... well now that is something interesting in a completely revolting kind of way.  The article puts most the blame at the feet of the parents of the white kids since while anyone can attend the "black" prom, only white students and their families are allowed at the "white" prom.

Now add this to the fact that convicted dog fighting kingpin Michael Vick is out of prison and has a chance to play again in the NFL, something many Vick fans in the Atlanta area are loving.  Many considered the sentence Vick served unjust for two major reasons: 1. They were just dogs, he didn't hurt any people and 2. Numerous white athletes get away with worse.  To these I reply:
1.  Dog fighting is cruel and it's fans and organizers are sick people.  It's not a "cultural" thing or an "animal" thing, it's killing a living creature for mere amusement.  How about this: Vick can play in the NFL if they cut his balls off?  Or how about every time he screws up he gets the same punishment he and his pals inflicted on the dogs who didn't win?  Or half his paycheck goes to terribly underfunded animal rescue operations.
2.  I say punish all the athletes who break the law regardless of their colour or the sport they play.  Simple, they should be held to the same standards as the rest of the world.

Oh yeah two more Georgia related topics:
The Case of Genarlow Wilson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genarlow_Wilson
and
Marcus Dixon ( this is more of a gray area but still the case was pretty screwed up ): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Dixon

Maybe Sherman was really on the ball when almost destroyed the state of Georgia.
