Yeah, as my Soror stated, anything noted as being ghetto fab automaticaly implies that it is some satire on black life. Several cases make your argument that "we" just look to harp about anti-black stuff.
One: The "rap" (not Black rap, party, was the theme when the white folks showed up in black face.
Two: Look at the first response to her initial question. UK_Pike's response was to go down to footlocker and get some Nike (see the Air Force One's thread and the reference to the Ghetto Quotient...Air Force One's is a rap song by Nelly a Black person in case you didn't know) and FUBU. FUBU last time I checked was For Us By Us and refers specifically to9 Black people. He didn't say go to Bebe, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman's or even hell, Express, but Footlocker and get Nike or FUBU.
You need to wake up and stop being delusional and recognize that "we" aren't as ignint (read:ignorant) as you would like to think. We can see some racist shit coming a mile away sweetheart and we are trying to warn the girl before soem shit goes down, which it undoubtedly would.
Damn. I am mad at myself becasue I typically don't read, let alone respond to these types of threads.
OUT!
BTW the reasong my Soror and any other Black person for that matter could care about a white trailer trash wedding theme is because WE don't sit around thinking of "fun" little shit to do while not being cognizant of the obvious undertones that are created by doing such. Yeah, who gives a shit that Justin Timberlake HAD a white trash birthday party with beer and tweenkies instead of cake...he's white. I wonder how many Black folks were there...probably not a lot.
Check the history, the number of times, Blcak folks have had a stereotypically racist theme party are most likely far fewer.
The real problem is that Black culture dominates america and so most things that are labeled ghetto, slang, etc., are inherently Black.

Although this mixer may not have the best of themes, I think you all flew off of the handle, minus breathes gelatin who remained calm. CrimsonTide4, nobody ever said it was going to be an anti-black party or anything relating to blacks. There are numerous races of people represented in the ghetto. I think you were just out looking for something to pick at. YOU turned this into a “black bashing” event. Look at your location: “Queen City, Norf Wackalacky.” Norf? Isn’t that displaying some sort of hypocrisy?
My personal opinion is that a white trash wedding mixer is more offensive than a ghetto fab mixer. The latter isn’t calling out a certain ethnic group. I’m not saying that a ghetto fab mixer is acceptable, rather, I think you totally made it out to be something that it wasn’t portrayed to be. If it were a black bashing party, don’t you think AlphaO would know how to dress? You said it yourself, “6 big BLING BLING CHAINS.” And she couldn’t forget her “COLORED WEAVE. . preferably that matches her outfit. Oh and then she has to have a celly and2 way attached to her outfit.” But wait, there’s more! “she needs to acquire the GHETTO FAB LINGO: Weeeeeeeeeeeeees Siiiiiiiiiiiiiide, Fo Shizzle, Dat's just my baby daddy. . .” Puh-lease! You don’t see white people making a huge deal about a white trash wedding. You don’t see Latinos crying because you threw a fiesta mixer, complete with pińatas and tequila. And what about luaus? I could go on and on, but I know when to quit, unlike others. Quit complaining and for once, find something else to pick at. Not everyone and everything is anti-black!
