great, great analysis (by one of my favorite columnists) of the new nba rules about what players can wear off the court.
Few phrases offer more mixed messages or feel more inherently contradictory than the term "ghetto fabulous." Though meant to be more insouciant and somewhat distinct from the dreary thug/gang/prison wear the NBA is taking to task, the "ghetto fabulous" aesthetic is black cultural appropriation of the worst kind, primarily because it believes it is the best kind. It believes that flaunting riotous color, fake nails, weaves and bling jewelry, or flaunting some versions thereof, pays homage to black people rather than insulting them. It openly fetishizes the ghetto as a fashion trend, a boutique to be browsed through and picked over rather than a real place that nobody ever wants to visit, let alone live in.
