Are you Ghetto?

I have heard a lot of people now-a-days calling other people and things Ghetto. I am so sick and tired of it. Why do I have to be ghetto? Because you have nothing better to talk about? Seriously, if your one of those people, you need to totally quit it.

Not only is calling someone Ghetto racist, it's also not correct. Ghetto is a noun that means an overcrowded urban area often associated with a specific ethnic or racial population; especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure.

Ghetto is not that cool. It is a place. It is caused by economic pressures, social problems, and legal troubles. And you kids actually want to live in a place where you most likely don't have a lot of money, don't have that many friends, and have LEGAL PROBLEMS. Really, is that what you want? Think again because that just is not right. People from the Ghetto might not actually have these problems but then again, they wouldn't be living in the ghetto.

So think twice about who are you going to discriminate and make fun of. It truly is not fun for those who are going through these hard times like he have today. So, don't mess around. You've never experienced were the people in the Ghetto are coming from. And if you have, don't encourage those who haven't to actually make fun of you. Then, after a while it wouldn't be so fun anymore.

For now, just enjoy the world you live in and help those around you. Don't make fun of them. Then we can all fix our world together, hand and hand. I hope you like John Legend's Wake Up Everybody just as much as I love it.
