Here's The Deal.... Univ. of Chicago Students Throw a "Straight Thuggin'" Party. This is basically a party with a hip hop theme; But the thing is that UC is a pro-white college...
Seems like somethin' out of Malibu's most wanted huh?
From The article
The university's president, Don Randel, is now concerned
that the party will "undermine" the university's attempts to build stronger ties
to the surrounding poorer communities and further isolate black students on
campus.
Randel sent a letter last week advising students that the "straight
thuggin' " gathering of whites was "offensive" and "parodied racial stereotypes
based on assumptions about economically disadvantaged members of society."
In other words, white students didn't have any business trying to look like
the rappers on BET.
The hapless group of white students are now perceived as
having done something "racist." African-Americans, on the other hand, are being
portrayed as victims. But they aren't victims. They're probably embarrassed.
Because blacks have allowed a handful of talented rappers to basically
define the black experience, more people are getting offended by these
images.
I Wouldn't Feel Offended. I'd think its Funny but yet it doesnt offend me. Its like a bunch of black people having a Kiss or Metalica Themed party Doesn't mean we'd be mocking whites. Its just Us Doing our thing. Hip Hop isn't Black its the people. Just Imagine if all rappers wore Suits. I'll Start some weird Trend/Fad where everyone wears suits. The whole thing is a cultural movement.
