Yeah, thats my opinion. I mean I make fun of Emo kids because of how they dress and act, I make fun of rednecks because of the way they dress and act, I think I should be able to make fun of hip hoppers (that sounds like something an old man would say) because of the way they dress and act. I just find it ridiculous that clothes and "attitude" have replaced genuine personality WRT personal identity to the extent that it has.

I'd like to see some African-American kids try to portray the bad rapper that Fed-Ex truly is. But a stunt like this on the day we recognize the birthday of MLK, Jr. is really in bad taste.

No, I agree with you about the MLK party, but the other party and any party where people dress up all ghetto fabulous IMO is funny. The same for a "red neck party" or a "dirty hippy" party.
