The "Ghetto Fab Party" thread is one of the main reasons that I tend to stay on "our" side of the street. It seems like there really can't be any intelligent conversations dealing with racial or cultual issues without someone saying something straight up ig'nint.
But, I digress.
The whole concept of "ghetto fabulousness" is just appalling to me. There is absolutely nothing fabulous about the ghetto, contrary to what music videos will have you to believe. People waering $400 jerseys, driving luxury cars, and sporting hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of diamonds have made a lot of people forget what the ghetto truly is and what really goes on there. How many of us know someone who got caught up in the streets or died innocently at a young age? The ghetto is nothing to be glorified and definitely nothing to be used as a party theme.
