SPINOFF: You are NOT ghetto if... Posted on 03-18-2005
Kool 2k6

Since half of the stuff in the "ghetto" thread sounds like some suburb kids tryin to sound cool, here's checklist guide for you all. You are NOT ghetto/from the ghetto if.... ...You've NEVER heard your neighborhoods name on the news in a negative way. You've never seen a roach in your house You've NEVER EVER EVER had cars parked in the grass for weeks at a time You've never watched a drug bust while sitting on your own front porch. You've never heard gunshots at nite You've never seen the cops in your neighborhood after dark... These are just a few of the minimal requirements. If haven't experienced at least 4 of the 6 listings....you are NOT from the ghetto.

Now this just sounds like some country Sh*t. Heres my list... You have never had to sleep on a"pallet" or make one for a guest.... you have never drank out of a jar you have never taken public transportation and look down on it...
Oh I forgot....we have 'homes' in the south. Not a bunch of buildings ****-stacked together with tenants squeezed in like sardines. 10lbs of ****in a 5lb. bag. We got room to breath down here, so if Uncle Ray's '75 Buick Electra 225 (duece-and-a-quarter) transmission blows, he can sit it on the side of the house if he damn well pleases.

Been to the airport, but that's it. I don't know about the ghetto's in the A. My ghetto has a million Mexicans. Suburbs has about two or three.

It's the exact opposite here. Ghetto here is almost all black. Latinos live about 5-10 miles from town (Chamblee, Doraville, Forest Park). Where I'm from (Stone Mountain, especially around W. Mountain St. and N. Hairston Rd.), the Latino population is growing fast.

Well say about 10 years ago...Ghetto's here in Dallas were 98% Black but then we started moving up and moved to outskirts and to the suburbs and then all of Mexico decided to come to Dallas. Honestly, me and my mom are the only ones in my family still in the hood but she doing a lot better than most of them.
