Why do conservatives have such a negative view of people who live in "ghettos?" (drug, racist)

I've noticed recently that a lot of right leaning CD posters use the term "ghetto" as a derogatory term towards people they clearly want to degrade. The term is usually thrown in with other terms like thug and gangsta which they also use in a derogatory way.
What's with the left's hate for people who live in ghettos?
Am I missing something? And before you try to attack me, I don't live in a ghetto or a housing project... I'm just asking a question.

Do all conservatives have that attitude? I wonder because I am surely one of those people and I don't think like that, at all. Did you mean for your second question to say left's or did you plan for it to be right?
Felon, repeat offender and gang-banger are negative terms too; and, often associated with certain (but not all) individuals who live in a "ghetto". Does the OP have a problem with those words too?

Trust me, I Was born poor. I lived in the ghetto... I have a friend that currently lives in probably the worst public housing project in Oklahoma City(Will Rogers courts). It is a total craphole, drug dealers and prostitutes walk around all the time.
Not all the people in those environments are "bad", but there are plenty that are. And the ghetto culture(IE rap music) is nothing to be admired. I'm almost convinced that anyone living in the ghetto and who has children is committing child abuse.
But I don't like projects anyway... they end up being nothing more than a kennel for criminals and the clinically insane. We put them there and basically forget about them, while saying how compassionate we are.

Fact:
Living in the ghetto for a couple of years is bad luck, living in the ghetto for 10 years or more is a choice.
Some of the hardest working people I know come from the worst ghettos one has ever seen. Then again, I'm not a conservative (or a liberal).
A lot of folks in bad areas like that are working 2 jobs. Some working 3 to 4 depending on what they can get with PT work. They weren't born with that silver college spoon in their mouths, so they have to do what they have to do.
If you think you hate those ghetto denizens living on welfare and trading food stamps for booz, imagine what it must be like to get off the bus or train and go walking past one of them, while you're headed home to catch 4 hours sleep before you head to your next job. Oh those people do exist. Many more than you realize.
The thing is though, they're too busy to scream and yell about it. So they grumble a bit and keep going. Any minute they waste complaining is a minute they could've spent sleeping.
So it makes you wonder how so many "hard working" conservatives find the time to rant about folks in the ghetto, when they've never even seen it first hand beyond passing through on a shortcut route their GPS gave them.
