Compton Cookout

[Tazo]

From http://www.racewire.org/archives/2010/02/college_ghetto-themed_parties_the_awful_racist_idea_that_just_wont_die.html :

In honor of Black History Month (I am making a mental note to myself to add "ghetto-themed" parties to this list), UCSD students organized a party with the following invitation:

February marks a very important month in American society. No, i'm not referring to Valentines day or Presidents day. I'm talking about Black History month. As a time to celebrate and in hopes of showing respect, the Regents community cordially invites you to its very first Compton Cookout.

For guys: I expect all males to be rockin Jersey's, stuntin' up in ya White T (XXXL smallest size acceptable), anything FUBU, Ecko, Rockawear, High/low top Jordans or Dunks, Chains, Jorts, stunner shades, 59 50 hats, Tats, etc.

For girls: For those of you who are unfamiliar with ghetto chicks-Ghetto chicks usually have gold teeth, start fights and drama, and wear cheap clothes - they consider Baby Phat to be high class and expensive couture...Ghetto chicks have a very limited vocabulary, and attempt to make up for it, by forming new words, such as "constipulated", or simply cursing persistently, or using other types of vulgarities, and making noises, such as "hmmg!", or smacking their lips, and making other angry noises,grunts, and faces.

Read the entire article for more. I do find it wrong but there is definitely some humor in the for girls/guys thing, especially because I attend a college where that is legitimately how a lot of the black girls I see dress or act.

I thought it was a pretty funny article.
