Want to end this kind of stuff? Save your scorn for blacks who are gangsters and perpetuate the stereotype.

I love how people will at attack someone for making fun or critizizing a negative side of a culture, while doing little to nothing to end that part of the culture.

At least Bill Cosby and Chris Rock got it right.
 
I tend to judge people more by what they wear and drive than by the color of their skin.
If I see a black man in a nice suit and driving a nice car, I tend to think more of him than I would a black man in a hoopty car with five thousand dollar spinner wheels, rap music blasting and smoke rolling out of the windows.

Same way with white folks.

I'd agree except that this was allegedly a "Martin Luther King" party. To me that smacks of more than poor taste......there seems to be almost some animosity or disregard behind celebrating a civil rights marytr by exaggerating negative sterotypes of one race.

I don't want us to be like Europe and jail people for their opinions, but I do think these guys deserve a little more social scorn than a bunch of idiot frat boys with tasteless humor.

Bah. Who did they hurt? No one.

They celebrated a day with a little fun. You don;t make fun of positive stereotypes. Just negative ones.



Umm a little fun. Dude while you are at it please at least try to tuck your KKK sigs out of your posts. A little fun my ass. I would never dream of doing such a thing to mock the holocaust. Or any other say with such significance.

They weren't mocking slavery. And nice try pinning me as a racist but you couldn't be more wrong... unless, of course, you are claming that being a gangster is genetically inherent for blacks. And if you are, who's the racist?

Making fun of a culture is NOT racism. Culture is NOT inherent.

They can make up for it by watching White Chicks on President's Day.

Actually they do. I know many comedians who dislike all the one sided racist jokes dished out by black comedians. And for the record what occured is far from such an event.

Meh I wouldn't say that bolded part is completely true. I see plenty of black comedians making fun of white people for speaking properly, having good corporate jobs, or not beating their children. Kind of like how some white comedians will say that any black person is athletic and would beeat their white counterpart at said sport.

But i guess in the context of a joke, those things are supposed to be looked upon negatively.

What occurred was a party in which people made fun of negative stereotypes in popular black culture. Which should be done FAR more often. Nothing stops bad behavior better than scorn and ridicule. Unfortunately, far too many think that behavior is "cool" and imitate it.
 
Give me a break. We had a school-sponsored Hick Day at our school during homecoming to make fun of our rival team, who happened to be a county school instead of a city school. Everyone would dress up as a overly exagerrated redneck. Some of the black guys would dress like women. I never got that.😕

I am not going to sit here in my skirt and listen to you ridicule men for dressing up in drag!

Well for starter the girl dressed as Aunt Jemima has nothing to do with a negative culture behavior. This is a clear poke at slavery and the sambo era. The point being this was thoughtless and has no part on a college campus. If you want to do this crap make a movie or do it in your own home on your own time.

It's Aunt Jemima dude. People used to dress up as her in elementary, middle, and high school. Are they racist?

Well if you are so bold and wish to start this new trend of making fun of negative behavior. Why dont you come to DC and do a few jokes at Ballou High School. Then lets see what the outcome will become.

So what do you think the school should do about it? Kick them out? Suspend them? Issue a formal frowning?

Sorry but themed parties are a mainstay on college campus' and have been for 50+ years. The only thing negative about this is the media spin being put on it. 40 oz, chicken wings, gang apparel....watch 5 minutes of TRL or BET and you will find references to all of these and more. This is a parody of pop culture if anything.
 
Personally I think MLK would be rolling in his grave if he knew what black culture evolved into.

I think to be fair someone should have an all black party where everyone dresses up like our white founding father's, powdered wigs and all, and drink tea and talk politics.

OK, you just keep on being offended. As I said before, thin skin gets you nothing but more scorn in the long run.

BTW, honestly now, do you spend your time being more offended over perceived insults by whites, or by the deplorable, self destructive and self deprecating behavior in the black community? Because even one gangster is going to do FAR more to hurt the black community than a million of these parties.
