I'll agree that African-Americans have indeed suffered racial injustices for many years.

Their plight hasn't recieved a hundredth of the attention as African-Americans has, and as result they still languish on reservations in atrocious situations that rival any inner city slum in this country. So, while i'm not saying the struggle for equality is completely over for the African-American peoples, it has come a long way as compared to other races in this country.

Kitso, I thought that you were of Greek heritage. Have I confused you with someone else?
As for the ghetto fabulous theme, it is a bad idea. It can potentially hurt many people's feelings. It's not worth it. What happened to themes like the 1970's or disco or 1980's? We had Fun in the Sun spring break theme. It was fun!
