Who really cares anymore. I mean, if you're offended, be offended. Stereotypes are real, and there is a degree of truth to them. These are just some stupid kids having fun. Obviously they find things enjoyable about stereotypical black culture or else they wouldn't have a party for it. I mean, dressing up is pretty lame, but a lot of people drink corona and eat mexican on cinco de mayo. If we had a white holiday, yall could get drunk listening to Huey Lewis and go play golf. I know its different with black people because the history is distinct, but when people have white trash dress up parties, I don't think "they're making fun of me." I'm not really defending them, I don't really care. However, I think its good for people to realize that just because they're making fun of a group of people composed of your race, doesn't mean they're making fun of the race itself. I just wish this crap wouldn't end up on drudge report every time it happens.
