And of course we know that most if not all of the people who voted yes on this poll are racist since they automatically associate "ghetto" with a race then attack people for being racists.

Then why do you automatically associate the term "ghetto" with "black people"? That alone is racist.

Yup those of us with reason and intelligence realize ghetto is not race specific. We also know the term originates with the segregation of Jews in Europe.

It's like a multiuse deodorant for failure.
Just like the excuse "I didn't get a job because of Affirmative Action".

OK then if the President was Mexican and you called him a name that typically is applied derogatorily to Mexicans would that be racist?

You would have never used that term if Obama were white and you know it.

Actually here is the original quote that started this:

"The Supreme Court will rule it unconstitutional and the "great one" will look like the ghetto goon that he is once his pride and joy comes crashing down around him."

This was posted by Backasspace in another forum, now you tell me how this is suppose to be taken

Depends on how it is applied, if you had seen the orginal post that brought this issue up your POV might be different, or maybe not.
