SATX*APhi, usually, you seem pretty even-tempered. What is the deal here?

I can't speak for CT4 or Bamboozled, but I was more agitated at UF_Pike's respnse than the actual idea of a ghetto fab party.

CAN such a party be carried out without racial overtones? Maybe. Unlikely though. Face reality...in America, when you think GHETTO you think BLACK, even though "ghetto" refers to class, not race.

If one wanted to have a REALISTIC ghetto party, one would throw it in a project hall with no electricity, no heating/air, and rodent infestations. That is the ghetto.

I would venture to say that this is not the case, and that the org. throwing the party is looking for people to imitate modern urban culture and what MTV/BET portrays as "ghetto fabulous," (which is a really absurd oxymoron).

Just as a side note, defensiveness is rather unbecoming.
