I picked these 6 words because I feel like people put too much of a negative connotation against the word “ghetto”. What is really means is a city where a group of minorities live. People call me ghetto if I’m outspoken and not as conserved as the “normal” person. Nobody’s normal and outspoken is just a part of my personality and it just so happens that I am African American. There isn’t one race of people who doesn’t have candid people. People judge me too much of what I am and not who I am.
