So I'm taking a test that one of my friends had on their journal, and I'm like.. 'BOY OH BOY! I sure do LUV these type of things! I'll take it!' And by the 30th question, it starts asking shit like...
"Do you talk ghetto?"
"Do you dress ghetto?"
"Do you act ghetto?"
Do you people even know what 'Ghetto' is? Lets take a gander at dictionary.com
"A section of a city occupied by a minority group who live there especially because of social, economic, or legal pressure."
Ahh.. so now we all know that a Ghetto is a place where a group of minorities reside because of "social", economic, or legal pressure. Scratch out social and legal pressure. They just put it there to seem politically correct.
In basic words. Mr. Dictionary is saying that it's a place where a group of poor minorities live. That rules out poor white people. Because they aren't a minority. I'm just going to post a few races that it doesn't rule out.
Blacks, Chinese, and Native Americans.
When have you ever seen a broke Chinese person? And when they all live together in one place, it's not considered a ghetto. It's considered China Town.
Blacks, Chinese, and Native Americans.
Once again, I've never seen a poor Native American. And when they all live together, you're on a fucking reservation.
Blacks, Chinese, and Native Americans.
That leaves us with my favorite race, the African-American one. (Even though to be considered African American, technically you're supposed to be born in Africa and have moved to America.)
So lets see, if we were to be "cool" and convert a ghetto, from a noun to an adjective, then we'd basically be trying to describe something that's run by poor blacks, right? And let me stop saying POOR black people. Because most black people are as broke as a fucking joke. They either live under the poverty line, or right a-fucking-bove it.
So if a car is ghetto... It resembles a black persons car.
If you talk ghetto... you speak like a black person.
You know everyone in the fucking U.S. is a racist fat bastard. It's weird how you fucking white people, AND YES, I'M SAYING "YOU FUCKING WHITE PEOPLE" love to fucking claim how racist you all aren't. And how you're all a bunch of fucking tree huggers that are full of love. And yet, what you preach does not agree with your actions. "I'M NOT RACIST.."
And yet you go and say "Yo nigga!" to your little pale faced buddies because you think it's fucking cool. Last time I checked, the word NIGGA.. was racist. And the last time a white person was allowed to say it, was back when segregation was in style.
Oh yes. BLACK PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO SAY IT. BUT YOU AREN'T, YOU WHITE SON OF A BITCH! I could careless if someone was to say to me and go "You're a black person!". But if someone was to come up and say, "YOU'RE A COON/NIGGA/WATERMELON EATIN' MONKEY!" it's like asking for a punch in the face. So please stop fucking saying that word like it makes you cool. Because if you say it infront of a black person, and I'm not talking about the only black person you hang out with... I'm talking about someone from a real... GHETTO... then you'd get your ass handed to you.
All of you say the same thing. "I CAN SEE PAST THE COLOR OF THE SKIN!" And yet.. you can't. I'm not saying that black people aren't racist. I'm just saying that we don't go around saying, "Oh, that looks so WHITE TRASH!" We don't go about making a test to see if you're White Trash or not. We don't pretend that we're cool by saying "Haha, you're such a honkey!" Surely, we make fun of your lifestyle occaisionally, but white comedian's do the same thing about black people.
I'm just going to stop typing now. My one little african-american voice will not effect the thick skulls of the white man.
But for the love of god, STOP USING THE WORD GHETTO!
Or I'll show you ghetto and beat your ass with a 2x4.
