Ghetto

Bling, Bright colors, long nails, weave, all these things seems to go along with the term ghetto right! Or maybe not . There are too many people who consider these things to be hot to narrow it down to one specific group of people. What is ghetto anyway? Is it a way of living? Is it a specific area? Or cultural background? Is it negative or positive? Mainly associated with blacks? There is nothing wrong with being ghetto, if that’s who you are don’t be ashamed. Blacks have went on long enough being ashamed of their culture and creativity,always making something out of nothing. We need to keep it real ,the majority of blacks grew up with the least,and had to be creative in making a look of their own. So if you are ghetto I say be ghetto and without shame. If you consider where you grew up ghetto, no shame, your a person that knows how to survive. If you speak ebonics, so what , that does not mean that you're illiterate, all that means is that ebonics is your choice of communication amongst certain people. We just have to know when to turn it on and off.
