"Gangsta" themed parties deemed offensive to Blacks

Blacks should be a bit more outraged and offended by the actual "gangstas" themselves. They are the ones causing people to stereotype blacks.


"CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) _ White students at Tarleton State University in Texas hold a party in which they dress in gang gear and drink malt liquor from paper bags. A white Clemson University student attends a bash in black face over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. A fraternity at Johns Hopkins University invites partygoers to wear ''bling bling'' grills, or shiny metal caps on their teeth.
From Connecticut to Colorado, ''gangsta'' theme parties thrown by whites are drawing the ire of college officials and heated complaints from black and white students who say the antics conjure the worst racial stereotypes."
