I am so tired of black people calling everything "ghetto" It is one of the most overused terms I have ever heard in my life. If two black people are in the market arguing, the first thing that will come out of another black persons mouth is "they are so ghetto". Two white people in the market arguing those same black people would probably say "they were arguing" Stop referring to anything negative as being "ghetto" as if we don't have enough negative things affiliated with the inner city. If black people talk in slang, what will another black person say ? "listen at them, talking all ghetto" a white person using slang "their grammar is horrible" Their is no "acting ghetto" you are either ignorant or you have manners. Being ignorant is not "ghetto" being ignorant is exactly what it is "being ignorant" . So the next time you are ready to let that word roll off of your tongue, think about it before you do. Because the only thing that may actually be "ghetto" is you saying it.
