Ghetto people are working class. They do work. For very little money and menial jobs at that. Look at all the neighborhoods were major displacement of the poor has occurred. Crime has gone down big time.

And the people who leave the region don't all go to the South. Some return to the Caribbean. Others move to poor suburbs.

They think people would be afraid to do anything or report simply because they are trans and would be afraid of the backlash.
please stop. don't defend that thing and dont lecture/defend that mental illness.

u can get away with it for claiming mental illness. my bet is when that thing gets caught, he'll say that the people he hurt were harassing him before the video started and his lawyer will claim racial+gender discrimination or some bs like this. much harder to avoid the crime when u are labeled as just ghetto.

"Ghetto" and "working class" are two vastly different designations.

Anyone who claims they are identical has no idea what either designation means - none whatsoever.

Probably because they do not live in an actual urban environment. There is nothing wrong with that but there is plenty wrong with posing as an expert while living in distant New Jersey, I mean, "the greater New York area."

Not funny at all. There are plenty of thugs on Wall Street and they are scarcely what one might term ghetto.

Actually, they are far worse.

NJ ghettos are just as bad, if not worse than NY ones. There are plenty of very urban areas in NJ. JC, Hoboken and Newark for example are more urban than many parts of Brooklyn and Queens. Funny you should be critising someone for posing as an expert when you yourself don't know much about NJ.

You missed my point entirely.

And in fact, I actually know quite a bit about Hoboken-Newark-Jersey City. Granted not much more other than Teaneck.

You also missed the part where I said that there is nothing wrong from being from New Jersey.

Speaking of which. I disliked the defensiveness of people in that whole area very much - Hoboken being the worst - and would never live there.
