But here's the thing.... Black people have no desire, never had a desire and never will have a desire to attend something like a "white trash bash". We just don't do isht like that. Have you ever heard of a BGLO hosting a "Hillbilly Hoe-down"? Not gonna happen. It just seems to me that SOME white people really love toeing the line, just to see how much they can get away with and then yell ignorance when they inevitably offend. There's an inherent danger in that.
Okay, here's my beef with the whole situation. Part of the problem here is that black culture has become synonymous with being thugged out and "ghettofied" and while I don't want Black people perpetuating that myth, I most definitely don't approve of white people doing it. If you want to emulate a part of our culture, please choose a more appealing aspect.
I also want people to understand that I don't condone the use of ghetto as an adjective under any circumstances. I don't use it and it makes my skin crawl to hear it leave anyone's mouth. So, this isn't a case of I can use the term because I'm black and you can't because you're white. I'd prefer that no one use it unless it is used as a noun.
