Before I begin this rant, I would just like to say that I'm not singling out all black people in this rant, nor am I singling out only black people in this rant. The ghetto can consist of any race, White, Black, Hispanic, whatever. If you are offended by obscene (really? You should be expecting that by now) or un-politically correct language, SKIP THIS RANT! I will be using the phrase "nigga" in direct quotes from OTHER PEOPLE, and I won't censor it because some people think that words should not seperate races. I personally think that these words only hold power if we allow them to, but there are several people who think otherwise.
You have been warned.
The subject of today's rant is about something very close to me: the ghetto. Oh, I don't mean literally, I wouldn't stay anywhere within 2 miles of the ghetto myself, been there, not going back. I mean figuratively. Namely, why is it that people want to drag the ghetto into everyday places and situations? I mean, I get it, you're ghetto, but why are you proud of that? It's like people being proud of being rednecks, it isn't a compliment.
I mean, really, if not for yourself FOR THE LOVE OF GOD don't act that way for the sake of others. No one wants to hear you unless that person is also ghetto, and do you know where you can find those people? In the ghetto. You know where I don't want to hear it? Here.
It doesn't have to be a specific place really. Just not in a polite society. Say... YOUR ALGEBRA CLASS. I swear, my freshman year the projects must have been demolished for some reason or another because the entire ghetto moved in behind me. I mean, I couldn't go one day without hearing a someone from behind me yell either some rediculous slang word or derogatory term at least once during the class.
Sorry if that makes me intolerant or racist but YOU try to learn the hardest stuff you've covered since times tables in the third grade in a peaceful environment, let alone hearing someone behind you yell "BOOTY-BOO" a dozen times... IN THE SAME DAY! I mean really, what the hell is that supposed to mean? Do I even want to know? I mean, it's hard enough to tolerate when they yell "That nigga be trippin" behind you when anyone slips up, acts out, or even gets a problem wrong, but if they're yelling what I think they're yelling, it might just get a whole lot harder.
Even today when I'm going into my Junior Year I hear this shit. Not just in the halls or in class, of course because school hasn't started yet, but in resturaunts or other establishments. I mean, feel free to do it on the streets, I mean people are just walking there, it's not like they're actually paying for a good time. But when you're at a nice resturaunt, nobody wants to hear you yell about how great your food is across the resturaunt. I mean, try to learn some class people! Even a guy who writes these rants just to insult people knows more about this than you!
But fine, if you need some help, I'll happily give it to you. Here are some examples of where you should and should not act ghetto.
In a Resturaunt? No
At a bar? Depends on the establishment.
In a strip club? Why not, you're gonna be judged for something else anyway.
In school? No
In a movie theater? What is wrong with you?
In a meeting? No
in the Ghetto? Yes
At the Club? Yes
Around your friends? Refer to the list
There, now you have some basic guidelines on where you should and should not be ghetto. Well, let's talk about some of the people who are ghetto now.
Don't get me wrong, no matter how it looks like above, the ghetto is not confined to black people, just like not all black people are part of the ghetto. People of all races and locations can be ghetto. Hell, you could live in a mansion and eat caviar and lobster for all I care, you could still be ghetto. That being said, I think that all people who are ghetto are total and complete idiots.
I mean can you prove me wrong? Can you come up to me and show me how the people who act ghetto aren't stupid? I mean I've heard them talk, and it is the worst compilation of Ubonics I've ever heard in my life. It's not hard to figure out, people. If you didn't learn to speak English when you were a child, then chances are you're not smart enough to comprehend the language, which is actually fairly simple if you were raised here, so I can assume that you either can't comprehend the years of English class you've been taught, or you simply don't care to listen. Which, if you ask me, jsut proves that you are even MORE stupid by showing that you're not smart enough to know that knowledge=good and ignorance=bad.
Plus, I'm pretty sure that we all learned in kindergarden to not pick fights, to keep our hands to ourselves, and to treat others the way you want to be treated... well, most of us apparently.
I'm not talking about speaking with an accent, that's completely different. I've heard people with a ghetto accent have the ability to make grown men weep with the power of words in Debate. The difference is that they knew that they need to better themselves in order to be taken seriously, and my heart goes out to them. These are good, hardworking people because they have to work MORE than the rest of us to be taken seriously in this world. Hell, I've even heard some of these people lose their accents, which completely impressed me. There, for once I didn't leave one of my rants on a negative notes, I hope you like this pleasant change of pace, because chances are it won't happen often haha.
Well, kiddies, that's another one of Uncle Bo's rants. I hope you either enjoyed it or hated it, because that's the audience I wanted to reach.

No FicciónAll right guys, this isn't a story. It's about me ranting about things that quite frankly piss me off or where I think the world has gone wrong. Actually, expect to see a little of both in every chapter. This is just me venting into a computer here...
