Me, too! Reading is FUNDAMENTAL.

Anywho, I don't know who thought this was cute or funny :rolleyes: but this smacks of the Pike or other frat parties where the guys dressed as 'ghetto'. I feel that Hip Hop and the commercialization of Black culture has led some people to think that this type of behavior is acceptable.

....and he is so articulate,too, right?

You're an angry fella. You need a hug.

I don't know about other GLO's, but I know that community service is an essential part in BGLO's.

To stop a BGLO from doing any community service is to stop the members from doing what they made a solemn vow to do, be active members in their communities and serve others.

So more community service would not be seen as "punishment" if one of the reasons people join an organization is to do their part in making the world a better place, even if it's just the world outside their back doors or the world on and off their college campuses. To do more to help others would not be a bad thing for a GLO, at least I don't think it should be seen as something negative.


And as for my feelings on this situation...words cannot describe how deplorable this is. Just when you think we've made leaps and bounds as a society to remove ourselves from such thinking, we get slapped further behind.

:confused:

First, I am not sure which race or who coined that the Black neighborhoods were ghettos. What a far cry from where it originally came from! The Jewish Ghettos in Warsaw(was it not?) where the Jews were forced to live in far below sub-standard conditions until they led the revolt. I've never figured out Southern dislike for Jews, probably because I've never met one.

Second, the Black commercialization of "poor culture" is the one thing which keeps African-American issues in the spotlight, and what seems to be the only way. It has used the race card before but it highlights problems within the black community without using it for the most part. The vocal Black leaders such as Sharpton and Jackson cannot highlight black problems without playing the race card.

Both.

What's worse than one dead baby nailed to a tree?
One dead baby nailed to ten trees

What's worse than a hundred dead babies in the back of a dump truck?
One eating it's way to the top.

She's not a fella, but that's okay.

You know, YOU.ARE.ONE.SICK.AZZ. Rudey's joke about the dead baby in the blender was weird, but this definitely takes the cake. :eek:

I think the actual situation is very interesting. I am sure they did not mean what they said...I believe it isn't cool what they did, but honestly, you think they used ghetto, would people get made: YES.

I feel the organization is very sorry and realized it was a great mistake, I feel it isn't an offence to get them kicked off campus or suspended from social events. I feel the root of this is them not knowing the actually issue. If the lady was really offended, she should explain to them why the award is wrong. All this is creating a bigger gap between GLO and BGLO

I'm not gonna lie. I laughed. I'm still kinda giggling right now actually. Like a baby!

--But not a dead baby because they don't giggle.

Uh, no. The original ghetto was in Venice and was established in the sixteenth century. The Warsaw Ghetto was established by the Nazis.

From the example of the original European ghettos, the word came to mean a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, often without much choice, especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure.
Any further comment on my part would be superfluous.

Dead babies only giggle in your dreams.

haha
Dead baby and chuck norris jokes are the best.

And you are an ignorant fella. You need a kick in the ..., oops, I am to much of a LADY to use that kind of language. ;)

OK there you go again with the anger. I'm telling you they have these cuddle parties all over the place. You just go in and people hold you and you hold them. I think it's what you need bro.
