aiight this right here should've been commented on, I don't understand how you can say that every black person has their hand out ready to get something for nothing, as a white person you can't make that judgement simply because you're not black...I agree with you that SOME of my black people do, but you can't generaliZe like that man...

to me being "ghetto" is being loud and obnoxious, acting like a complete IGnorant fool and being small-minded as ever...but what ya'll are portraying that "ghetto" is what I would consider being "hood"...that's being from the actual 'hood or bad neighborhood where most people are on welfare and experiencing the lows of our society as a whole, living in public housing that's reserved mostly for blacks, growing up on welfare all your life and generations before you as well...

being "ghetto" is a mentality, yes...and to me it's something that mostly black people have, but another part of being "ghetto" is blaming all your problems on stuff that you can change if you wanted to, but find it easier not to...take responsibility for things that are the way they are if you can change them and don't then it's your fault things are still the same for you...if you look at it like this then ANYbody can be ghetto if they blame shit on growing up without this, that and the other, when they feel like the government made something this way or that way...when they blame the fact that they sell drugs on something besides themselves...to me, if you're gonna sell drugs and live in the 'hood and are cryin' and bitchin' about getting out then do your dirt, stack your chips and gt the FUCK out instead of buying brand name clothes that look just as good as other clothes that DON'T have the RocaWear symbol on it, the Jordans on ya feet, fresh Ones...stop spending money on the stuff that doesn't matter and DO something instead of talking about who did what TO you and your "people" and that's anybody, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, whatever...
