what's the difference between these costumes and a bunch of predominantly white fraternities hosting a "Compton Cookout" or a "ghetto"-themed party? correct me if i'm wrong, but a lot of you cats talking about "soft"-this and "extra sensitive"-that were probably some of the same individuals who were irate about the idea of a "Compton Cookout."
on another note, when did generalizing, stereotyping, and/or appropriating become acceptable behavior?

IDK IF IT'S BC YOU'RE FROM BOSTON THAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND.
LOOK UP THE MOVIE TRAILER I POSTED OR IF YOU HAVE ACCES WATCH THE VID.
OR AT LEAST GOOGLE RACIAL IDENTITY STAGES BY SUE AND SUE.
Talk about prejudice.
THAT WAS A COMPLIMENT. BOSTON... MASS IS ACTUALLY A VERY LIBERAL AND ACCEPTING STATE. MOST NORTHERN STATES ARE.
DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
But what you mean by he from Boston he wont understand? go more into detail.

There have already been some posted. They don't bother me though. I actually thought D-Wade's take on JT was funny. I just think it's hypocritical that there is no white person in one of those posters holding up a picture of a non-white dressed in white face. Because yes it does happen as well. Just not as much made of it.Originally Posted by NYC game

So if you're going to quote me with a piss poor rebuttal like that the least you can do is throw some images up of another culture dressed up as a white person for a halloween costume.
If you're trying to argue that white people are being ganged up on you won't win any sympathy votes from me.
theres a reason why there isnt a white kid on the front page holding up a photo. It simply doesnt bother you people. All those photoes on the first page are whtie people dressed up in costumes....Originally Posted by CelticsFan9783

I didn't bother going though the pages, but you're talking about Wade impersonating a single character out of the bunch, which is different than impersonating a whole race.Originally Posted by CelticsFan9783

why so defensive clown?
but that's the exact problem, why do folks think it's permissible to pick and choose when it's okay to stereotype?Originally Posted by CelticsFan9783

Two whites dudes and a black dude dressed up as NWA. They all grew up on NWA, ATCQ, Naughty by Nature, etc. How can they be mocking a race when they are dressed up as characters they actually look up to and respect? That's like telling a white dude he can't wear a Lebron James jersey. He wants to imitate someone he is a fan of. What's the problem?
As far as the the Compton Cookout at a fraternity, it is different because it's in bad taste. It sounds like a group of kids mocking the California gang culture. It's also stereotyping an entire area.
yeah, the dominant culture in America would like you to think it was acceptable.Originally Posted by 4318MichaelJohnson4318

Y'all need to realize that if someone is offended by something, the intent becomes secondary to the reality that people are offended. Make the choice and break the cycle.

Don't quote me on this, but I think that girl was someone semi famous attempting to dress up like Lil Wayne. If she was just trying to be a no named black rapper, then I do see the problem with that.Originally Posted by NYC game

Do you not see that ?
For instance If the white girl with the gold chain was impersonating 50 cent or michael Jackson than it would be totally different.
Another example dressing as a native american, as opposed to dressing like a wayne newton.

dressing up like NWA, Naughty by Nature, ATCQ, or whichever rap group you prefer is one thing. but last time i checked, NWA didn't represent an entire community. but when a group of privileged college students want to start dressing up like they're from the "ghetto" or the hood, without ever having lived or walked in these communities, that's when "costumes" become just as offensive as racial slurs. there isn't a big distinction between stereotyping an ethnic group and stereotyping a residential community; the only difference is who the target is.
and do i really need to address how asinine the comment about the Lebron James' jersey is? come on man, how are you going to equate wearing a sports team's jersey with that of putting on a costume that supposedly "represents" a culture. wearing a jersey of a player or team you like is called being a fan. buying a kimono from a halloween store, wearing it, and then saying you're Japanese is called appropriation and commodification.
