Well, all this hoopla is about stereo-types, is it not? Ghetto fab = blacks?? Slang = ghetto. You are trying to eliminate the stereo-type, but are contributing to the perception.

Of course you wouldn't care about a white trash wedding -- it doesn't pertain to blacks. And your response being sarcastic is B.S. How is it that you then go on to say that although AlphaO may not be dressed that way, somebody else will? You keep contradicting yourself.

What I do know is that I rarely find you in the general forums. When I do see you come around, it's to start some crap about race issues.

Typically when the words, GHETTO FAB are heard, the associated group is typically BLACK PEOPLE. So that being said, if an NPC Sorority decides to throw a GHETTO FAB party, who will they be emulating? When I see my students, Black and white, acting GHETTO FAB, they sure are not imitating Garth Brooks or Brittney Spears. They are emulating and often times OVER EXAGGERATING Black people.

Okay, Garth Brooks and Britney Spears are not ghetto, so how could they be representative of ghetto fab? You aren't making any sense. YOU think of blacks when you think ghetto; I don't. I think hoodlums -- black, white, chinese, hispanic, purple people, etc. It pertains to all races.

Do I have a problem with it? NOt really. What irks me is when those who normally would not act or dress in a "ghetto fab" way decide to do so. As we have seen in the past couple of years, folks do not know how to imitate something without going overboard in an offensive matter.

Okay, so country folds should be offended by a barnyard mixer with everyone dancing as cowboys and cowgirls? You know, there are those who do go overboard and show up in nothing but boots and a hat, maybe even some chaps. Do you see me crying because I find that offensive? No, because it's all in good fun!
Oh, and the comment about "Ms. Copy and Paste everything I said" was totally third grade. (oops, I did it again -- copy and paste!!)
