As Steeltrap pointed out, "do rags" were invented (many many years ago) to protect hairstyles and are still worn for that purpose. "Do rags" aren't the same as bandanas. They have become a fixture of what is called "hip hop gear," but let's not forget what "do rags" REALLY are and what they're REALLY for.

Contrary to common belief, let's also not forget what a "ghetto" originally is: a place where people of the same race and ethnicity lived. Therefore, there were (and, arguably, still are) Italian ghettos, etc.

Don't act as if GC has attached a sensitive racial label to "ghetto." AmeriKKKa (particularly AmeriKKKan media) has done that, as well as to "hip hop culture" and so-called "gangsta rap."

So, threads like this can easily take a wrong turn. But, let's not act as if we don't understand why they do so.

but i'm not racist..my best friend is black.
