Yeah, I saw that, and it wasn't really as funny as it was meant to be. I'm white, but I don't think the ghetto is a cool place at all. I have friends that live in semi-ghetto areas. It's not like rundown public housing, just regular one story houses...semi-ghetto. But I understand that people have hard times in neighborhoods like that, and there are even a few parts where I don't go. I'm not shook or anything, it's just either I have no reason to go there, or I know what can happen to a teenage white kid venturing into an all-black neighboorhood. But I understand that some white people live in the ghetto too, just to clarify that for you people :thumbup:.

yea pisses the shit out of me when bitches bitch'n bout how bad they got man they don't know half the shit.. i bet if i brought half of those "ghetto" ppl to the shit i jus been describ'n that they wouldn't last more than a fuck'n week

LMFAO^^shut the fuck up Spy you soundin dumb as hell.
@the african comment.

^^^ Aint no "real ghetto" a ghetto is a ghetto.. and yeah house get broke into bout evry night where i live... Thats why we gots bars on the windows.. plus u gotta be smart about it, put up "beware of dog signs" even if u dont got dogs... and have lights on all the time, and keep a Bat or if u can a piece by ya bed...

And about computers.. i havnt had a computer since a year ago, my moms finally saved up enuff to buy one.. im still workin tho, jus graduated school, but i get on RV now and then jus somethin to do in my spare time... talk to dudes, battle sometime do shit like that...

Not most people have Computers, let alone TV's, but some do it aint a rarity..

yea, i hate those piece of shit whities that say they are "ghetto" and they live in a small town where they having nothing close to a ghetto....where they barely have a "downtown" area....but props to the peeps who actually live it...

^ yeah, although its pretty rough, i don think the ghetto would be the worst place to live in the world..

Yea, Spy, no shit theres worse places on Earth... I kno i dont got it that bad... But i didn't make a thread about how i'm tired of people playin out 3rd world countries on TV.. I made a thread about ghetto's gettin played out as bein Cool, and i'm jus sayin what it's really like...

I kno i got it good compared to some, and i thank God for what i do have

I grew up in a Detroit ghetto, eastside Detriot near a housing project called Bagley...Its not a fun place to live, or a place i want to live...

The ghetto isn't a bunch of thugged out homeboys chillen, got guns and nice cars, bitches and ho's, ganstas everywhere... it's not what you see on TV...

The getto is a place where you look out ya window, and theres a tall ass old dude wit Pink Shorts up above his knees, a Gray Flannel shirt, Pink sandals and black socks, an outfit he jus picked up at goodwill for 3 bucks...But A nigga that would still beat your ass if u made fun of him..

The ghetto is a place where u see 3 crackheads pushin a grocery cart around, pickin up anything they see on the ground, hopin they cuold sell it to get their next fix...

The ghetto is when u got a Heroin addicted mother, 6 kids livin in the house next to you, the mom not carin bout anything but her next Dip.. the kids hungry knockin on peoples doors askin for food..

The ghetto is a place where u see a kid walkin down the street, no parents, wearin clothes 3 sizes too big for him, lookin for someone to bum a meal off of...

Yea sure, u got gangs, violence, u got the homies u chill wit...

But i'm tired of people assumin the ghetto is a cool place, when they've never been in one, lived in one... The Hood is bein made into somethin cool, where people want to be, when all of us who live here only dream about makin it out...

The geto is a cold, vielent, poverty strucken place... My 2 older brothers were shot to death in front of me, 1 was the wrong dude, the other was because he stole from some nigga's dad... Shit is fucked up where i live...

I'm not sayin that nobody else on here came out the hood, i kno peeps onhere that have...

But for those of ya'll who havn't, the ghetto is not what we see in the Media...

And Props to all the rappers who bring it real... Nas, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Mobb Deep, Ball and G, Bone Thugz, Eminem, KRS1, NWA...

Thats all i got to say..

You should join God Squad, for you are the God of Truth. I lived in a ghetto for a while, and I will tell you now, if you move there then you either have mental probs, or you have serious money probs, which won't improve in there.
