Just as we have been discussing, it is a popular thought that ghetto=black...not just with white people. Sadly there are LOTS of black people who think that too. If you have not been exposed to other black people who have their stuff together, it isn't uncommon not wanting to be associated.
But what I wonder is how can you be raised by a black parent or two and have such negative attitudes? It does boggle the mind.
