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. "

What? They got blankets.

S'okay, though. We killed a lot of 'em and took their land, but they got us back by giving us all lung cancer and taking our retirement money at their casinos.

True.

I have attended all kinds of themed parties

40 party
Pimps and Hoes Party
70's party
80's party
Toga Party
Debutant Ball

I'm just trying to explain why it is that Black History Month is the most recognized of all the Racial History Months.

On the other hand, nobody is forcing you to do anything out of the ordinary this month, if you choose to ignore it, that is okay. I don't get why people get so angry about it.

That's what I like about you Buck. You're awful smart for a young person.

You make a great point.

Both groups were pretty much shitted on hardcore.

I have to prove it to you? Seriously, you don't believe in reverse discrimination?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I normally enjoy sugar free international delights cream for my coffee. I'm drinking it black this month to celebrate. I just wanted to throw that out there.

True story.

1990.

Me (Italian). Calling my dad (even more Italian) on the phone.

Me: "Hey, dad! Did you see 'Goodfellas' yet?"

Dad: "Yes, I did."

Me: "Wasn't it hilarious?"

Dad: "No, actually I found it very offensive."

Me: "Oh. Really?"

Dad: "Yes.... That movie made it look like we do nothing but eat all the time!"

I like my coffee like my women: white, sweet, and weak, so they go down easy.

Because the faternity/chapter represents the university?

Not saying the Univ can do anything about it, since it's off of campus grounds. But I'm sure they're being criticized for it, even though it's not really their problem.

[soopamanluva]

Wow man, who is blaming you for all of that?....nobody. Why are you taking ownership of things you had nothing to do with? That's a choice you are making. Let it go. Nobody in here is blaming this on white people. BHM has nothing to do with what these kids are doing. (and I agree with you on BHM, not because it's not needed, but because I see it as a back handed compliment to blacks have contributed. And a lot of blacks feel that way. Young and old) there are all kinds of things in this world I don't like but I ddont bitch about it and it doesn't have anything to do with me, I don't care or take ownership of it.

This isn't 1976. There's no more forced busing. Affirmative action has done it's job, and then some. Why is Black History Month so prominent?

America is a melting pot, yet only when it's convenient. So many ethnicities, religions, and lifestyles only want to "melt" when it's convenient. I'm tired of Black History Month. I'm tired of illegal immigrants protesting for their "rights" while being supported by people from their country, who are here legally, yet waving flags OF THEIR COUNTRY, not America's. I'm tired of everyone acting like it's my fault that the Natives lost their land and the blacks were enslaved. I didn't pilot the f**king ships. (In fact, the history of slavery in Africa also involves Africans enslaving Africans, for hundreds of years, but it's easier to blame it all on Whitey.) I'm tired of entire swaths of America acting put-upon. You know what? WE'RE ALL put-upon. We all have to deal with it. It's called bigotry, and it's not going away. Black, white, gay, Jewish, Asian, Mexican, female, fat, short, bald, thick-glasses-wearing, I don't care what it is... we all have a cross to bear. Where's my "Fat White Guy With Thick Glasses" Month, huh?!? HUH!?!?

And maybe the point should be that the young hip-hop "ghetto kids" they're making fun of probably could give less of a shit about Black History Month. They're too busy calling each other the n-word and pissing off Bill Cosby.

Just remember, kids, as the puppets in "Avenue Q" sang...

Princeton:
Say, Kate, can I ask you a question?

Kate Monster:
Sure!

Princeton:
Well, you know Trekkie Monster upstairs?

Kate Monster:
Uh huh.

Princeton:
Well, he's Trekkie Monster, and you're Kate Monster.

Kate Monster:
Right.

Princeton:
You're both Monsters.

Kate Monster:
Yeah.

Princeton:
Are you two related?

Kate Monster:
What?! Princeton, I'm surprised at you! I find that racist!

Princeton:
Oh, well, I'm sorry! I was just asking!

Kate Monster:
Well, it's a touchy subject.
No, not all Monsters are related.
What are you trying say, huh?
That we all look the same to you?
Huh, huh, huh?

Princeton:
No, no, no, not at all. I'm sorry,
I guess that was a little racist.

Kate Monster:
I should say so. You should be much more
careful when you're talking about the
sensitive subject of race.

Princeton:
Well, look who's talking!

Kate Monster:
What do you mean?

Princeton:
What about that special Monster School you told me about?

Kate Monster:
What about it?

Princeton:
Could someone like me go there?

Kate Monster:
No, we don't want people like you-

Princeton:
You see?!

You're a little bit racist.

Kate Monster:
Well, you're a little bit too.

Princeton:
I guess we're both a little bit racist.

Kate Monster:
Admitting it is not an easy thing to do...

Princeton:
But I guess it's true.

Kate Monster:
Between me and you,
I think

Both:
Everyone's a little bit racist
Sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go
Around committing hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind.
Maybe it's a fact
We all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race.

Princeton:
Now not big judgments, like who to hire
or who to buy a newspaper from -

Kate Monster:
No!

Princeton:
No, just little judgments like thinking that Mexican
busboys should learn to speak goddamn English!

Kate Monster:
Right!

Both:
Everyone's a little bit racist
Today.
So, everyone's a little bit racist
Okay!
Ethinic jokes might be uncouth,
But you laugh because
They're based on truth.
Don't take them as
Personal attacks.
Everyone enjoys them -
So relax!

Princeton:
All right, stop me if you've heard this one.

Kate Monster:
Okay!

Princeton:
There's a plane going down and there's only
one paracute. And there's a rabbi, a priest...

Kate Monster:
And a black guy!

Gary Coleman:
Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Kate?

Kate Monster:
Uh...

Gary Coleman:
You were telling a black joke!

Princeton:
Well, sure, Gary, but lots of people tell black jokes.

Gary Coleman:
I don't.

Princeton:
Well, of course you don't - you're black!
But I bet you tell Polack jokes, right?

Gary Coleman:
Well, sure I do. Those stupid Polacks!

Princeton:
Now, don't you think that's a little racist?

Gary Coleman:
Well, damn, I guess you're right.

Kate Monster:
You're a little bit racist.

Gary Coleman:
Well, you're a little bit too.

Princeton:
We're all a little bit racist.

Gary Coleman:
I think that I would
Have to agree with you.

Princeton/Kate Monster:
We're glad you do.

Gary Coleman:
It's sad but true!
Everyone's a little bit racist -

All right!

Kate Monster:
All right!

Princeton:
All right!

Gary Coleman:
All right!
Bigotry has never been
Exclusively white

All:
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
Even though we all know
That it's wrong,
Maybe it would help us
Get along.

Princeton:
Oh, Christ do I feel good.

Gary Coleman:
Now there was a fine upstanding black man!

Princeton:
Who?

Gary Coleman:
Jesus Christ.

Kate Monster:
But, Gary, Jesus was white.

Gary Coleman:
No, Jesus was black.

Kate Monster:
No, Jesus was white.

Gary Coleman:
No, I'm pretty sure that Jesus was black-

Princeton:
Guys, guys...Jesus was Jewish!

Brian:
Hey guys, what are you laughing about?

Gary Coleman:
Racism!

Brian:
Cool.

Christmas Eve:
BRIAN! Come back here!
You take out lecycuraburs!

Princeton:
What's that mean?

Brian:
Um, recyclables.
Hey, don't laugh at her!
How many languages do you speak?

Kate Monster:
Oh, come off it, Brian!
Everyone's a little bit racist.

Brian:
I'm not!

Princeton:
Oh no?

Brian:
Nope!

How many Oriental wives
Have you got?

Christmas Eve:
What? Brian!

Princeton:
Brian, buddy, where you been?
The term is Asian-American!

Christmas Eve:
I know you are no
Intending to be
But calling me Oriental -
Offensive to me!

Brian:
I'm sorry, honey, I love you.

Christmas Eve:
And I love you.

Brian:
But you're racist, too.

Christmas Eve:
Yes, I know.
The Jews have all
The money
And the whites have all
The power.
And I'm always in taxi-cab
With driver who no shower!

Princeton:
Me too!

Kate Monster:
Me too!

Gary Coleman:
I can't even get a taxi!

All:
Everyone's a little bit racist
It's true.
But everyone is just about
As racist as you!
If we all could just admit
That we are racist a little bit,
And everyone stopped being
So PC
Maybe we could live in -
Harmony!

Christmas Eve:
Evlyone's a ritter bit lacist!

first I'm not angry at all, I'm discourage that a stupid college party is getting the attention of news media as "racial discrimination".

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.

This is thevway it should be, but a lot of times it's not. That's where the problem comes

Sorry dude, I worded my statement as if it were aimed towards you (by using the word you). I was trying to make two different statements there. The first being that what you were saying was fair. The second being all the people who are pissed off that there is a black history month should just ignore it if they don't like it.

Responding to this last post of yours, I completely agree with what I bolded.
