I'm telling you, ghetto just isn't "ghetto" without big, chrome rims.

My all-time favorite, though, was one of my neighbors who had Jesus hanging out of the driver's side window of the truck with a gat. icon_eek.gif

I've always wanted to do a photo essay featuring these trucks. They are truly ghetto fabulous!

(You could always do a cake with a mural of the cake airbrushed on the side... icon_lol.gificon_lol.gificon_lol.gif I am having way too much fun with this!)




icon_eek.gif You have got to be freaken kidding me about the Jesus one!!!!!!!!! I'm still trying to find the words.




No ma'am. When I say I grew up in the 'hood, I mean it!

I'm personally offended at the notion of what ghetto means to many of you. Why is a gold chain "ghetto" but not a big gaudy cocktail ring? Is it because of who wears the chain vs the ring. I would simply have asked the customer what it was specifically that they had in mind. Personally many peoples tastes dont suit mine... however, i choose not to lable people.

If you do a search for ghetto stuff on google, you will be amazed at that comes up. It is not like I am saying that a gold chain is more ghetto than a coctail ring. And when I say gold chain with a big emblem, I am thinking of the gold chain with a hub-cap or huge clock on it! I am not labeling, I am just trying to make the client happy and having a hard time thinking about what I want to do so I wanted to get some other opinions cause I know everyone on this site is super imaginative and talented!!!

Well, it wouldn't be Cake Central if someone wasn't offended by something ridiculous. icon_lol.gif

Ummmmm...because of the people who live in the ghetto wear it? Big gold chains with pants around their knees and boxers hanging out and gold grills on their teeth? Did you know they even sell fake grills to kids at Walmart? The big gross gold teeth for them to wear?'

Come on-do not even start that sensitive stuff here. Calling a genre or whatever ghetto is no different than calling something else redneck or disco. Are we not allowed to classify anything anymore? Are we all supposed to be the same and have the same PC vanilla labels on everything? I am so sick of everyone getting all riled up over nothing to the point that everyone is terrified to even express and opinion anymore, out of fear of being called a racist.

Get over it.

first of all whose riled up? secondly... if you are simple enough to believe that being offensive is opposite of being pc... well then i cant help you. im entitled to my opinion. its not ok simply because we are talking about what are typically more urban folk. no more so than it would be ok for someone to make stereotypical comments about any other group. im certain that i could come up with a few things that many of you would find hard to brush off and get over if i tried hard enough.

It's not offensive to talk about what's true. A person who wears a giant cocktail ring could be considered trashy while a person who wears the necklaces and grills would be ghetto. While a fat man in a wife beater would be white trash. Who the heck cares?

Let's take a drive (or a train) down to the ghetto part of town and see what is worn and what people look like and what is considered ghetto. That doesn't make me "simple minded". It makes me observant.

So we are never allowed to talk about other groups, ever? I mean, never ever ever ever?

Someone asked for a ghetto cake. Everyone was talking about what that constitutes. No reason to be offended by that. Again-PC means we can't talk about anything or any or our differences. Ghetto, redneck, white trash, disco, celebutante, white, black, Mexican, etc. We are all different. Why is everyone so afraid of that? Why is it wrong to look at our differences and have FUN (which is what that cake is) with it?

I do not stereotype people or groups. and I would never call anyone white trash or redneck or ghetto or anything other than their name. this is a mute point. if you think its ok... then i guess its just that, ok.

Sweetie, where I am from, the guys are PROUD to be called rednecks. It doesn't carry the same kind of connotation that it did. It basically just means a plain thinking good ol' boy "unless" you say it with a certain tone and expression.

You know, stereotypes exist for a reason (as does punctuation and capitalization, just sayin'). If a group of people didn't act/dress a certain way then the stereotype would not exist.

I, for one, can't wait to see this ghetto cake. Hey Cassi, let's change the Beatles theme to ghetto...after all, DH is from the ghetto.... icon_wink.gificon_wink.gif

So I'm thinking black fondant, graffitti airbrushed on, bling bling bling and gold necklaces. How fun!
