Let's see... ghettos typically have a minority of individuals that exploit the rest of the population for personal gain, through drugs or through the use of intimidation such as crime, what's also common about that culture? Don't snitch. Isn't that a form of intimidation as well? Threats towards other's well being that if they try to make the ghetto a better place, disrupting the means to make an income off the back's of other's suffering through addiction, that all hell will break lose? If that isn't slavery in modern America, I don't know what else is.

Or just living off the backs of tax payers and never escaping the ghetto, just contributing to the endless cycle of destruction that goes on, killing each other with bullets or drugs, all for what? Just to end up as laborers in the prison system, or in the grave? That isn't slavery?

Imitating Ronnie - a sincere form of flattery

The ghetto always gets put as the bad side. Yeah some people do drugs in the ghetto, so does some executives for big companies. And yeah a lot of the ghetto has government assistance, and some don't need it but how is that any different than these fools getting convicted for money laundering after so many years. Crime isn't just a "ghetto" problem it's all of America problem.

So..... why do care about what people wear or listen to?
Last time I checked, we live in a free country

Let me guess... you've never been to a ghetto for more than 10 minutes.

Lighten up. Another way of saying, "in my opinion." Plus as the previous poster said ... she is just flattering Ronnie - a regular poster on this forum who posts a lot but informative and at times humorous. No biggie really.

Ghettos and ghetto culture is not exclusive to Houston. Have you ever been to Detroit, south side Chicago, Harlem, liberty city Miami, college park Atlanta, Compton, south central Los angeles, west Baltimore, west Philly, all the wards in new Orleans? This is a stupid thread.
