CHARLESTON, South Carolina (AP) -- White students at Tarleton State University in Texas hold a party in which they dress in gang gear and drink malt liquor from paper bags. A white Clemson University student attends a bash in blackface over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. A fraternity at Johns Hopkins University invites partygoers to wear "bling bling" grills, or shiny metal caps on their teeth.
From Connecticut to Colorado, "gangsta" theme parties thrown by whites are drawing the ire of college officials and heated complaints from black and white students who say the antics conjure the worst racial stereotypes.
University officials, the NAACP and others have condemned the parties as insulting and inexcusable under any circumstances. At the same time, some black academics said they were not surprised, given the popularity of rap music among inner-city blacks and well-to-do suburban whites alike.

Interesting article. I would like to say that I'm shocked, but not really... |
Why do we care about what these backward hicks do? The only reason they continue to do this type of thing is to incite fury. Screw 'em. They are just jealous. They are mocking our style, speech and our music. How many of them are buying 50 and Hova's records and how many of us are buying Beck or Greenday?...I know the issue is much deeper than music, but imitation is the highest form of flattery.
