How could anyone possibly think that the thought of a "ghetto fab" party not cause a debate such as this? What makes anyone think that an entire community of people would not be offended? I keep hearing some people say that we, as African-Americans, do not have a monopoly on the "ghetto." WTF?

Ok, we know that people of all races live in the ghetto, but NO ONE is going to sit here and claim that they didn't mean emulating the African-American culture when this grand azz party idea was devised. When most people think of the ghetto, your first thoughts fall to African-Americans. Besides that, can you give me an accurate definition of "ghetto fabulous?" I heard someone say that "it is 'mainstream' now, so no one should be offended? Are you serious? The term and all that it entails has been bastardized by the "mainstream."

Don't forget to put my invitation in the mail...
