Ridiculously high crime rates,and unemployment rates both magnitudes higher than anywhere else. Property values epically low. Infrastructure in pathetic condition, city services poorly run. Police, fire and ems poorly funded to the point of being nearly nonfunctional. Populated by a relatively small demographic, governed exclusively by democrats.

Quoted: Actually their vehicle of choice is a 15 year old BMW or Benz. BALLIN'! View Quote The women do like old German cars and Accords with 300k too. Dope Boys like 300s for business because you can buy an old one cheap and it still looks the part, same with Crown Vic's. They probably own a late model Camaro or Charger too, but don't do work in those. |

Shockingly low high school graduation rates. High teen pregnancy rates. Damn near zero two parent households.

It’s the rusty ass pickup trucks and confederate flags for me “just to prove a point” yet you don’t even know who Robert E Lee was at all
Smoking a pack a day and just smelling like a walking sports bars is gusting too |

Quoted: What are some ghetto things youve seen people do? Dress? Say? Anything really... A real ghetto thing thats pretty common are kids coming to school with kool aid packets. They open the pack and dip their finger in it and lick their finger till all the powder is gone. Id love to call the kids out on it. "Are you eating kool aid?" The kid with a red finger and red dye all over his face shakes his head no. Kind of irritating because the kids thinks hes smarter that you. Ive seen this in really crappy schools and private schools. Still a ghetto thing to do View Quote You think that's "ghetto?" How old are you? LOL. |

Quoted: I asked an urban-type co-worker about that and the response was "that creates jobs for others". Which I took as a rationalization for laziness, stupidity and passive-aggressive behavior. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I watched 2 ( obese) female dependopotomuses take their 2 large sized fast food bags and cups and just drop them on the ground outside their car window while they sat in a empty parking lot. Lots of vibrancy. I asked an urban-type co-worker about that and the response was "that creates jobs for others". Which I took as a rationalization for laziness, stupidity and passive-aggressive behavior. I used to work in Rivertown in Detroit, right on the river (hence the name), in a VERY expensive former factory that had been converted to offices and condos. It was right down the street from an open air arena that had concerts and such. One weekend there was a rap festival over the two days. When I came in to work Monday morning, you could hardly see the ground in the multiple block area between the main road and the arena where people had been walking around all weekend. Just trash everywhere. Finish something, throw it on the ground. Pigs. In the past several years in the Detroit area, every single time I've seen someone throw something out a car window or on the ground, including two dirty diapers thrown out of cars in parking lots in the suburbs, it's been ghetto looking Black people. |

Wife and I both have Sonatas. Nicest cars we've ever had. If we were any whiter, we'd be clear. You don't see many Hyundais around here of any kind, though. |

Quoted: Quoted: Gunshots on New Year's, chrome rims on Caprices Elevators full of piss, stairwells covered in feces An EBT card and the riches it brings, These are a few really ghetto-ish things... Bars on the windows and pitbulls on leashes, Third-graders with Glocks, shooting at teachers, Loose cigarettes, lit with lighters on strings, These are few really ghetto-ish things... Our roof leaks, We've got no heat, Don't know my dad... Then I simply look at our big screen TV And I don't feel so bad... Wings drenched in hot sauce, OE in a brown bag, Baby daddies on the corner, see how their pants sag Five-O in a car, with the flashlight he swings, These are a few really ghetto-ish things... Excellent. Sweet. Had to read it a few times before I got the reference. |

Quoted: Yep. I grew up in the city, but in an Irish/Italian neighborhood. I distinctly remember throwing a pair of old sneakers up on the power lines on Decatur Avenue in the Bronx when I was like 9 or 10. It's something that you just did, nothing deeper than that. I always get a kick out of the threads suggesting it's a bat signal for drug sales, gang territory marker, whatever.

Not in an urban area, but Allegedly when a young female relative falls in with a bad abusive fella and you want to give him a chance before you have to dig a hole. You and a few brother in laws and cousins can take him on a long drive up a holler down some old mining roads, well beyond cell signal. Take his shoes, take his socks, wrap them around a tall branch or power line and set him out to walk home. He has a lot of time to think over those 14 miles until he gets to cell reception. In Minecraft. |

It was not uncommon for kids to toss their gym sneakers over power lines on the last day of school when they cleaned out their lockers. Nothing more than that. |

She told me all kinds of stuff like that. Definitely the pajama thing They get in fights in the school parking lot Buy/sell/use drugs in the school parking lot Scream curse words at each other in the school She felt really bad for the kids and would try to do interesting projects with them to get them interested in learning. Sometimes she felt like it was a losing battle because once they left school they were back in a terrible environment. Her and her husband stopped being friends with us because we were not liberal. My hubby worked with a black guy at the airport. He asked my hubby for a lift home one day. Hubby obliged, on the way to, again Riviera Beach, he threw his McD's bag and drink cup out the window. They were in rush hour traffic. Hubby told him if he ever did that again he'd be walking home. The guy said, somebody will pick it up. He also asked him why he still lived in Riviera Beach because with his job he could have afforded to move somewhere else. He was incredulous. Why would I move? All my friends live here... among the random shootings, open drug use and murders. |

Now, the area that he moved to wasn’t quite "the ghetto", but it also wasn’t someplace where I’d want my car to break down. Different groups have very different ideas as to what constitutes "normal". There was a husband and wife, both cops, who lived within the confines of the precinct I used to work in, and that place was hardcore ghetto. |

My dumbass brother used to carry a black bandana in his back pocket when we were in high school. I used to make fun of him for it. He was always a thug life wannabe.
