Yet, they were talking like I should ask a man. Well that's how I took it anyway. Could be wrong, no one is always right.

Like I said, I can handle myself.

Love the sarcasm. Anyone who would refer to President Obama as "ghetto" is obviously racist and the person is merely using the term "ghetto" as a smokescreen. Why? If the person who used the term "ghetto" used the "n" word to describe President Obama, there would be a much worse uproar than there is now. I know the reason for referring to the president as "ghetto". It is the same exact reason a GOP official in Orange County,CA sent an email putting President Obama's face on the body of a chimpanzee. Even is the official apologized, it leaves this to be asked: Why did Marylin Davenport do that in the first place?

It was the same thing when an Republican from San Bernardino County,CA sent a news letter with the President's picture on it surrounded by KFC fried chicken and watermelon.

There are people who don't want Barack Obama as the President. While many do not agree with his policies, there are many people who are hiding the fact that they do not want a Black man as their president. It isn't like the old days where you could just come out and say it. These days many people hide their prejudice ad it comes out in more insidious ways. Some people won't admit it.

Which certain neighborhoods might you be speaking of? Ghetto Chicago neighborhoods maybe?

We've been dealing with racially charged political rhetoric for a decade now, Obama isn't exactly the first president that's been compared to a chimp.

Perhaps, or anyone with a sizable black or latino population. But really would it make a difference?
