Seriously though, perhaps some people "don't get it" as they have never known anyone that would be affected by this game. I get frustrated "Chile you have a brain...USE IT" sadly people cannot think on demand. I just want people at my farm school middle of nowhere campus to stop saying things are "ghetto" until they have been to one. And don't think I won't call folks out on any "ghetto fab" parties.

Again, you're completely on point. Besides racial segregation, you also see class segregation.

I suspect, and I've said this before, many of the same people who think "ghetto" sendups are OK don't really have any meaningful contact with AfAms who may be affected by inner-city miseries. If they have meaningful contact, it's often with suburban AfAms who sometimes are "go along to get along" types at best or self-hating at worst.
