Yep, its always someone else's fault when it comes to Black people's problems. I'm going to catch alot of shit for this post...but I really don't care....mainly because I find comments like yours hilarious. I've got news for you bud, you aren't the only race that uses the term "ghetto." If you find it offensive when you hear people use the term "_____is so ghetto," then maybe you should consider that the way in which people perceive it is only influenced and precipitated by mainly members of the black community. Watch BET or MTV for fucks sake. Hell, I saw an MTV Cribs show that had two rappers that lived in shithole houses in the "ghetto" because they said it gave them a sense of their roots. The whole show all they talked about was ghetto this and ghetto that....and how wonderful it was to be living amongst "their people." Well hmmmm.....maybe that could have had something to do with how people invision it. Maybe you should stop whining and realize that the people or person who is "trying to put you two steps back" are infact some of your own. It gets pretty annoying hearing certain people on this thread bitch and moan constantly about bigotry and racism (caugh-starang21-caugh) when a majority of the problem lies within your own race.

It never seems to amaze me about some individuals when it comes to race. the statement that was put out by the sorority chi omega was way out of line, and being a founder of a multicultrual fraternity really makes me upset because every time we try to makes efforts as African Americans in this country its always someone or some people trying to put us 2 steps back. its always a stigma attach to us as black people. I heard the statement on TV two white girls who said "ooh my gosh thats soo ghetto", and it really upset me because they dont know what ghetto means but because we as a cultural use it they think its okay to us it and then us it out of content. Okay what im trying to say is We shouldnt constently have to justfiy words that we use to other cultures like the N word( which by the way should not be use at all), ghetto etc... basically if u dont know what the hell it means then dont use it at all. Fun or no fun stick to what u know.. Point Blank. So to my chi omegas out there remember and other people as well " When in doubt shut yo mouth".... GOD Bless u all....
