SAN DIEGO -- Officials at UC San Diego are condemning a ghetto-themed party organized by fraternity students to mock Black History Month.

A Facebook posting advertising Monday's 'Compton Cookout' invited people to a condominium complex off-campus.

The invitation urged all participants to wear chains, rapper-style urban clothing by makers such as FUBU and speak very loudly.

Female participants were encouraged to be "ghetto chicks" with gold teeth, cheap clothes and "short, nappy hair."

The invitation said the party would serve watermelon, chicken, malt liquor, cheap beer and a purple sugar-water concoction called "dat Purple Drank."

The party was organized by members of several UCSD fraternities, according to an e-mail from Gary Ratcliff, assistant vice chancellor for student life.

UCSD Chancellor Marye Anne Fox called the party, "offensive" and a "blatant disregard of our campus values."

"We reject acts of discrimination ... and we will confront and appropriately respond to such acts," Fox said.

Read The Invitation To The "Compton Cook Out," As Posted On Facebook:

"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. They also have short, nappy hair, and usually wear cheap weave, usually in bad colors, such as purple or bright red. They look and act similar to Shenaynay, and speak very loudly, while rolling their neck, and waving their finger in your face. 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. The objective is for all you lovely ladies to look, act, and essentially take on these "respectable" qualities throughout the day.

Several of the regents condos will be teaming up to house this monstrosity, so travel house to house and experience the various elements of life in the ghetto.

We will be serving 40's, Kegs of Natty, dat Purple Drank- which consists of sugar, water, and the color purple , chicken, coolade, and of course Watermelon. So come one and come all, make ya self before we break ya self, keep strapped, get yo shine on, and join us for a day party to be remembered- or not. "

yup, my kids were born in Germany while I was on Active duty, they are natural born citizens. They could apply for dual citizenship in Germany, but I don't think it makes it any easier for them to do that, than it would be for me to.

point of observation to some of the above posts, second class is a legal term that Donger is using, not slang or meant in a way to talk down to the process.

Yes, it's a stereotype. Then again, a lot of young kids act and dress just like they're making fun of. If you don't want to be ridiculed, try not to live up to the stereotype. I'm Italian, but I don't wear a wife beater with a big gold chain and a crucifix or Jesus head on it and drive a Camaro and say "yo" and "fuhgeddaboudit". If I did, I would expect to be ridiculed.

Racism, sexism, and stereotypes are only funny humor when they don't touch on you or people like you. That's the way it's been. That's the way it's always been. The world won't stop turning because of it any time soon.

But seriously, kids in college now days grew up in a complete different america than every generation before them. Its got to be getting close to the time where we stop appologizing for mistakes long past.

Besides, how was it discrimination - did they specifically say only white kids could come dressed up as ghetto trash?

Discimination happens everywhere one group (women, asians, white and black) is the group minority, and it seems that most of these incidents make the news because its black discrimination more than the other groups (woman, asians, hispanics, whites, etc). It happens everywhere still today, and it's all very stupid.

I'm a man, and I'll treat you like a man at work, in my home or on the street, you have that initial respect from me regardless of skin color. The actions of that man from there, will decide if you keep my respect or lose it.

I was going to respond..but it just isnt worth it.

There is a big diffrence. Whites dont have a history of being riducucled and made fun of with black face.

If I dressed like an idiot and acted like a fool in public I'd expect no different...

Shit, the black people I like that I work with hate hanging out at certain places around here because the people we're talking about can't behave themselves and it makes them feel like idiots since they get lumped in with that shit.

So If I dress urban,and not like "chad" from the burbs..then you would be afraid of me? ..shit let me put on some ****in flip flops, wrinkled shirt and plad shorts ..when its 30 degrees out..so I dont dress like an Idiot..

Thanks for proving my point. This is why we need Black history month. Because folks tend to see us all as the SAME , just like you said, we all get lumped in together. YOu never see that with white folks. YOu have so called "white trash" and then you have the the suburban folks..but the suburban folks never get lumped in with the white trash..but us, shit if one black guy acts a certain way...then we all do.

I don't know man...

You're probably right.

I pre-judge a lot of black people but it doesn't take much to change my mind...

all I know is the few black people I interact with pretty much are as racist towards the people I'm talking about as I am...they talk about not being able to go here and there because of all the black people that act like total lunatics.

and yeah white people do the same thing but lets be real...it's not even close to the same ratio...

like Whitlock says...

it's the black KKK that brings down the black people these days

And i dont know why fried chicken and watermelon is a 'black food' every white as snow country person ive ever met ate the same shit right down to poke greens.

No doubt, the majority of my family lives in North Carolina, and as kids we always ate fried chicken, watermelon, kool-aid, corn bread, and collard greens. I still to this day love all that food, never was a big fan of collard greens though.

Your right..white folks dont go shooting random people. They dont molest and rap and kidnap kids. They dont produce , sell and distrubute meth. They dont destroy an entire countrys economy because of greed...your right..its not even close to the same ratio.

Well?

Nah, I didn't say that...

But you're the one who apparently doesn't get it...

You can hide from it all you want...

But the ratio of criminals from white to black isn't close.

Sorry man.

Take it easy my man. There are a lot of black people, even females, who try to go out in public being "gangstas", loud, and shit like that. We all know that's true. I don't think you are encouraging that yourself. Kinda like that old dude doing the "Pants on the Ground" song. If anything, white people are more chickenshit in the way they express some things. Are there many punk whites who would jump a couple black kids if they thought they could get by with it? For sure is the answer to that. Perpetuating drastic stereotypes is something white people are guilty of too, but not to the degree of almost intimidation style "****a" approach stuff that SOME blacks do to white people that are scared to start. Older white people are still truly the racist ones in the end, they just never changed. The public image that is often presented that sticks out is the "balla" persona. I haven't read this whole thread, but wanted to make some comments. Who cares if these guys do this really? In a lot of ways it is just a joke and better that they just flat out make it halfway public. You won't see the older whites who are in power, and do make a practice to this day of holding blacks back, come right out and do something like this.
