This may just be where I am from, but calling someone Ghetto is not a compliment...Here, ghetto is more of an attitidude that you adapt...and you can be white,black,blue,purple....to be called ghetto is basically to be called uneducated. Its the same as being called redneck. And to be labeled as one it does not matter where you live. Not all people from the "projects" are ghetto, and not all people from the country are "rednecks". It depends on how you present yourself and if when you open your mouth you sound like a moron. Does this make sense? I understand why people were upset by the tagline of showing how ghetto your are, but what I don't understand is why it was only the black community that was upset. And the other thing I don't understand is why people are upset that the contest is still going on... maybe I was not reading it right, but as long as they aren't making it about "how ghetto your are" then what is wrong with a talent show and a watermelon eating contest? To me thats like a pie eating contest....but like I said I could have been reading it wrong....
