lets talk GHETTO...
i found this shirt in NORDSTROMS of all places and was a lil perturbed once I thought about B.P.'s target market which lets face it does not include young African American tweens & teens.
i know for one I absolutely HATE [k thats a lil harsh] strongly dislike when ppl who never grew up in the hood refer to something as ghetto!!!
hence the phrase i normally hear from a suburban born and raised barbie or ken...
"thats soooo gheTTO!!" um how would you know??
did ya'll know that white college kids actually have ghetto parties aka pimps & hos parties aka gansta parties complete with fried chicken, malt liquor & faux gangster apparel!!
and to top it off they normally throw these parties on MLK day!! The guys dress up in wife beaters, gold chains, fake grills and hats turned backwards while the girls basically go for the most revealing clothing possible as if that ish is cute!!!!
im sickened by the society in which we live
and even more so at the buyers for nordies' b.p. dept!!!
how do you feel???
IM BOUT TO WRITE A LETTER!!!! like the white ppl do!!
until we blog again,

i wish ppl would stop claiming things they are not....ALL TOGETHER. y act like you know ANYTHING about the hood...if you've never even been there....& on the flip side...y act like yer ballin outta control when u only have $1.25 to your name.
humans need to learn to embrace who they really are, where they really come from, and the reality of the situations they've been put in. once you grasp that concept....its all gravy baby.
woooord . . . I did not know about the MLK Day thing. I have to say . . . that's about as funny as it is repulsing.
great blog.
get mad!
To be honest, with all of these themed oriented parties of bros and hoes, sluts and fucks and all that other mess, it is nothing but a sugar coat to what many so call try to fulfill a lifestyle as. Take note, majority of these parties are thrown by your caucasian fraternities and sororitories, no disrespect. I favorably think, many of them find themselves fascinated with wanting to be a stereotype of an African American by blasting the rap rhymes from their parents' Mercedes-Benz, walking with a certain swag as and trying to speak with a slang, but at the end of the day, they would never want to have our skin color. Moreso, those who claim to be hood and hard and have never stepped foot in the ghetto. This goes for the same as those African Americans who are from the suburbs or hoods and feel they need to lower themselves by acting a certain way in order to be accepted, rather than just being themselves. There is always room for improvement no matter where or what situation you are in. I really enjoyed this topic.
