Bringing Ghetto to the Suburbs:

Believe me, I’m not trying to dis our people, but we can get so-oo ghetto. Why do we bring the ghetto everywhere we go? Why do we bring it to the Suburbs? (we claim it’s an escape from that life). We are a strange people. We often don’t like each other, respect each other, or help each other, even when we move from the ghetto. We turn our nose up at one another. Do we think we are better than one another? Why? Maybe it’s from slavery time, (house slave vs field slave) where we did not know better, but wake up people, we know better now, this is the 21st century. What is holding us back?

We as African Americans invest so much time on fluff. We like listening to so much rap music, watching garbage cable shows (reality TV and degrading one’s at that), obsessing with sports (case in point, how many of us watched the Presidents State of the Union Address January 27TH?). And finally, too much drama… We buy too many movies off the black market, oh and by the way, why do we buy them? How many times will you watch them, or do you have those many guests that you have movie night at you home?(oh my bad). Oh and why do we make those low quality boot leg videos and then stand out in the parking lots selling them? Come on people, that is so ghetto. Why can’t we market something else? Wake up my people, lets get educated or "edumucated".

Let’s stop bringing the ghetto to the suburbs. Please, keep your trash on your own property. If you like trash, keep it, don’t spread it. Stop throwing it out your car windows, I don’t want it. That’s ghetto. I know I don’t want to see it, and I’m sure as heck other conscientious people don’t either. Oh and why are we so loud and have to be seen? Eight o’clock in the morning, standing on the corners, hanging around parking lots and in front of stores. What’s up with that? Come on my black people, wake up and pay attention.
