Is disapproval of ghetto culture the same thing as racism? (Page 2)

Question

I am an old southern white boy. (If you are already assuming that you can predict something about my attitudes based on that sentence, then that is an example of PREJUDICE: judging someone's character on the basis of stereotypes.) I have friends and acquaintances who are members of different races and ethnic groups. But I have a strong dislike for ghetto culture. If you want to claim that ghetto culture does not exist, post your own question or myTake on that topic. For me, and for many, many people, it's real, it's counterproductive, it exalts ignorance, and it perpetuates itself. And I dislike anybody who embraces or tries to advance ghetto culture. Ghetto culture does not belong exclusively to one race or ethnic group, just as Section 8 housing and housing projects are not occupier exclusively by one race or ethnic group. In fact, less than 50% of all households in federally subsidized housing are black.  It occurs to me that my rejection of ghetto culture might lead some people to assume that I am a racist (and that fuels their need to get their SJW fix.) What do you think? Is disapproval of ghetto culture the same thing as racism?

No lol. On the contrary, it's racist to assume that every black person has to act like a hoodlum.

No. I hate the pant sagging trend doesn't mean i hate the race for one portion of its members

NightHawk99 · Answer

Not exactly. However, a lot of idiots only condemn it to justify being racist.

Anonymous · Answer

People who would say yes are also those people who brings race into any argument or use the race victim card everytime.

JesseJayNeak · Answer

No, it gave to people (especially black people) a bad image.

Ghetto culture is not specific to one race and can be seen in many races and countries. Assuming that ghetto culture is specific to one race is racist.

Absolutely not!!

White_Boy_506 · Answer

No because not all black people are ghetto

Of course not. Ironically the SJW/woke view that it may be racist is itself just a racist sentiment.
