From the link:  Tarleton student Jeremy Pelz, on whose Facebook page the photos were placed in a folder titled "MLK." In a reply e-mail, Pelz (seen in the picture at right) told Elder that he would rename the folder in which the photos were placed "so it does not bring any disrespect to Mr. King." Pelz noted that the party was started a few years earlier "because one of best friends is black or African American, whichever you deem politically correct, to be his day not to dishonor him." He added, "So I do apologize if you felt any disrespect because none was intended."

Puh-leaze.  MLK couldn't keep his pants up, but I don't recall seeing him with a bandana, a 40 ounce, etc., etc.

I'd have a problem if a group of black students had a "redneck" party, which attempted paint whites with a broad brush in a negative light.
