Stop using “Ghetto” as a weapon to disrespect the poor! Stop using “Ghetto” to disguise your self in mixed company & conversation!! The Ghetto is a community with flaws, but bitch you can’t deny the culture! Everything comes from the pits of the ghetto! The belly! The foundation! Your grandparents rich or poor got their hustle from a “ghetto”! The ghetto has held our secrets for years, kept a seat for us (even just to visit), was our playgrounds, and cemeteries!!! They didn’t want you in the “suburbs” so the ghetto kept a door open. The ghetto let you garden in a food desert, the ghetto showed you how that new dance move went before your white friends asked how to “do it”. She humbled you! She gave you blues, hip hop, and Gospel! She kept you faithful. Don’t you dare form your lips to disrespect your people so you can code switch, when The ghetto gave you the GAME.
