In the defense of SATX Aphi: I think she was more or less relating the issue to a racial issue, that infact people jumped the gun and thought right away that "ghetto fab=racial issue." She stated that she did not condone such an event and wouldn't support it. Her argument was more so to the affect that just because it has the "ghetto fab" theme doesn't mean that it is a straight up racial issue (blackface painted on a white guy and whatnot). And if you think about it, unfortunately there are all races and colors that are located in our "ghettos." As far fetched as that may seem, it's the truth, it's not just related to African-Americans (not in my opinion anyway) and I think SATX APHI was trying to clarify that point.
I don't agree with the theme either, I think it's stupid to be honest, but it's not my mixer - i'd never throw it or attend it, I piss on such a mixer. But if such a mixer did take place, that doesn't mean that a man showing up in blackface will ultimately occur, maybe, maybe not.
A lot of people jumped the gun in this thread - the point, it's a stupid theme/party but it doesn't mean that the theme is backed by racial intent - it could be, but that's not certain.
Ghetto fab mixer theme = BAD, gc peeps = good company, keep it that way, we all get stupid sometimes, sometimes we aren't stupid but people still think that. Back up off the thread a little, calm down, don't say something you will regret, or already do. If you do, I will be forced to HIJACK your thread and you don't want that.
Example of damasa HIJACK:
ok, so my hijack isn't working right now, we'll get back to yo uon that.....
