Snowbird Party Called Racist

Wow.  Some folks are just looking for racism in anything. 

What Snowbirds call a party to celebrate their Wisconsin heritage, Jim Brown calls “defamation.”

Brown is a black South Carolina resident who was visiting relatives on Okaloosa Island. After reading a column about the party that was in The Destin Log, he called the newspaper and complained. The party, according to the column, is a celebration “by and for Wisconsinites” that features music, tailgating and Wisconsin bratwursts.

“The way it’s stated, it implies that other people are excluded from the party including black people,” Brown said. “It excludes a lot of people and it does not read good relations between other races and people from Wisconsin.”
