Are you saying that rich white kids adopted ghetto fashion before poor white kids did? Doesn't ring very true to me.
It sounds to me like you're asking a historical question, while the first two answers give theoretical answers. But the theory is relevant: the rich don't care about the poor, so it doesn't matter if poor white kids adopt the fashion. The claim is that the rich adopted it before the middle class.
I think this whole discussion need more concreteness.
