Not really, no. I don't like the mafia culture here, does that make racist against Italians? I don't like McDonalds and fast foods overall, does that make me racist against Americans? I don't like German technomusik and all their neotechnik (lie), does that make me racist against Germans?
The issue is a lot of people put “ghetto” to a specific ethnicity and also to BS characteristics. I also know how to code switch my 9-5 isn’t the same attitude of me as when I’m in the burbs vs when I’m in the hood. I’ve literally heard “ your braids are ghetto” how does a hairstyle make you ghetto?
I can't with the ghetto culture. To me, it's a nuisance and adds no value to society, so I don't believe it's racist to not like ghetto culture or behaviour. It's not only one race that has ghetto culture so it isn't racist.
As a black person I don't approve of ghetto culture, all it does is keeping us black people down and it not doing nothing great for the black community. Plus most other races unfortunately see all black people as thugs and hoes because of ghetto culture which is so not true.
Of course not. In the USA, racism is almost completely nonexistant. There is an awareness that the average of some traits of certain races are inferior but the average of other traits may be superior. For example, most everyone in the USA is aware that the average IQ of blacks is lower than the average IQ of Asians and that on average blacks can run faster than Asians.
If they put low income housing beside my rich neighborhood you would soon see the white rich people move out. No one wants poor people and there trash. They produce like rabbits and there kids are just like their parents. So the circle never ends. Keep them in the hood.
As a black, I'm going to say this "You have every right to choose what you like or dislike about any race including the black race".
Personally I feel blacks should give the whites a break. You left your country and went to their country... that makes your rights secondary to theirs. And if you were carried as a slave, find your roots.
Racism isn't cool but fighting against a race in their territory is counter productive. No white man can be racist to you in Africa is my point.
Are whites superior to blacks? Some are. But are there whites that are superior to me? Not even Jesus!
No, they are not the same. Lived 10 years in the Deep South myself. While this "ghetto culture" does not really include bettering oneself, outside of getting more welfare, it is what the vast majority of politicians want for the people of the United States. Under the government's completed control through welfare and related policies and laws pertaining to ghettos and their inhabitants.
Oh just to show that there isn't this only style there and that sometimes I don't say all the time, we can appreciate a few things that we don't like at the beginning
American ghetto culture fuels racism, class divides, perpetuates ignorance, and insures the failure of its adherents. One person singing a song that says otherwise doesn't really prove anything.
I deal with ignorant white folks all the time. A white man came to my house and saw my mother, a few days later he asked me if she was Spanish, then proceeded to ask me “ if that was my real mother” sadly most white people are like that “ colorism” She can’t be my mother because I’m too dark
A group who represents 7% of the US population commits more than half of all murders in the US. Does the fact that angers me make me racists against back men? I have nothing against black men, but I certainly have something against murderers, regardless of the color of their skin. If that makes me racist then so be it.
Well if your racist for disapproving of ghetto culture then I must be racist to and I'm black born and raised in the ghetto in Brooklyn NY and I hate ghetto culture
Yes, it isn't doing us any favours. But what I hate is that "ghetto" is slapped on any black who doesn't walk, talk and dress white suburbia. I think the term is weaponized and ised to assert racial bias regardless of the reality that all cultures have ignorance i. e. ghettoness. When they say ghetto they mean us.
@Coulis You assume that because I am an older white male from the South, that you automatically know many other things about me. That is called "prejudice." You do know what prejudice is, right? "Prejudice is an assumption or an opinion about someone simply based on that person's membership in a particular group." And you are prejudiced towards me.
Nope I said that because of the way that you're answering. I was actually shocked when I was down in North Carolina I was surprised how nice the quote on quote good old boys were to me. But you do not fit that bill.
If you read my answer I didn't you just choose to disagree with me. Everything that you said I said in my answer would you probably haven't even read yet. You got the Older part down for sure.
@Coulis You said "But what I hate is that "ghetto" is slapped on any black who doesn't walk, talk and dress white suburbia. I think the term is weaponized and ised to assert racial bias" You disagreed with what I said quite clearly. Go make your burritos. I hope you are good at that.
Don't bother asking such things, bro. We already know how the left separates racist vs non-racist. You do what they say, you're not a racist, you don't do what they say, you're racist. Simple.
Everything is racist now. To include pencils, dump trucks, sunscreen, sea shells, hammers, women’s shoes, umbrellas, oxygen, outer space, pistachios, blue jays, nuclear power, tires, and oddly enough Dr. Pepper.

No it doesn’t, anymore than disapproving of redneck culture means you hate white people (or even hate rednecks)
Of course not. In the USA, racism is almost completely nonexistant.

Read my take here:
This is an example of thug culture that plagues the inner cities.
You are going to like it.
no it's different, but what do you call ghetto culture? A way of dressing, of speaking, of tags and in rap?
All of the above and more.
Let me send you a rap song someday, I'm not talking about a song about prostitution, the street or drugs and nor a song with loud music
What's the point?
Oh just to show that there isn't this only style there and that sometimes I don't say all the time, we can appreciate a few things that we don't like at the beginning

Of course you’ve got nothing to say to that, hypocrite. 😂

@Coulis Actually, the term "racist" is the real weaponized word!
@OlderAndWiser whatever dude.
@OlderAndWiser you're good ol' boy is really showing.
@Coulis You assume that because I am an older white male from the South, that you automatically know many other things about me. That is called "prejudice." You do know what prejudice is, right? "Prejudice is an assumption or an opinion about someone simply based on that person's membership in a particular group." And you are prejudiced towards me.
@Coulis What next? Are you going to call me the "C" word?
Nope I said that because of the way that you're answering. I was actually shocked when I was down in North Carolina I was surprised how nice the quote on quote good old boys were to me. But you do not fit that bill.
@Coulis What have I done that is rude? Oh, I remember now. . . I disagreed with you.
If you read my answer I didn't you just choose to disagree with me. Everything that you said I said in my answer would you probably haven't even read yet. You got the Older part down for sure.
And I never called you rude at all. Is so I don't know what words are trying to put into my mouth but I have tortillas to make bye.
@Coulis You said "But what I hate is that "ghetto" is slapped on any black who doesn't walk, talk and dress white suburbia. I think the term is weaponized and ised to assert racial bias" You disagreed with what I said quite clearly. Go make your burritos. I hope you are good at that.
Don't bother asking such things, bro. We already know how the left separates racist vs non-racist. You do what they say, you're not a racist, you don't do what they say, you're racist. Simple.
I voted E. Not liking a particular culture for whatever reason, and being racist, are clearly not the same thing.
Everything is racist now. To include pencils, dump trucks, sunscreen, sea shells, hammers, women’s shoes, umbrellas, oxygen, outer space, pistachios, blue jays, nuclear power, tires, and oddly enough Dr. Pepper.
I’m so sick of hearing about racism
Yeah, me too!
No it's not racist it's a negative that affects minorities hugely and is mimicked by some white twats here in the UK as well not just the States
Definitely not the same as racism, pretty obvious to see that if one has some base level of intelligence or common sense.
