I was listening to a  FOX NEWS interview and the interviewee could not think of a word to describe the people of BALTIMORE that were rioting so he stated ” shall we say GHETTO”….WOW!!!!…..I though to myself hmmmm is the term “GHETTO and THUG” the new “N” word????? This thought has crossed my mind before…These two words, the NEW description of Black people seem to give that “PASS” to people who feel they are not allowed or cannot use the “N” word…..All you hear now is “She’s so GHETTO”…..”He’s a THUG”…..”It’s so GHETTO”….”Thats so GHETTO”……Even talk show hosts like Wendy Williams use the term all the time……Do we describe living in concentrated poverty “THE GHETTO” IF WE DO NOT LIVE THERE?????……..are oppressed people the same as “THUGS OR GHETTO” slaves were oppressed they weren’t “THUGS”….after all the term “GHETTO” was directed to the JEWS during the holocaust…..How it became the “IT” word in the Black community I really don’t know….I say we refrain from using any kind of negative description of Black people and just say “PEOPLE”…….When you are raised in an environment of systemic brokenness  you do become enraged because you  know there IS another way of life, but the system just won”t  let you get to it…..When the two worlds collide America is attacked by what they have designed…..But we cannot arrest our way out of crime or the “GHETTO”….America is OVERLY abundant in EVERYTHING we need….The count of  things we have is far beyond our realm….So why are the people running this great country getting paid MILLIONS while the people who are building it get nothing…as long as  unequal distribution of wealth exists I guess we will always have “GHETTOS and THUGS”…….America needs to once and for all open its doors to the very people she welcomed as slaves!!!!!!!

The things that are happening in our communities are a continuum of what hasn’t changed in America….Peace is losing its purpose……Lets not let that happen……ALL LIVES MATTER
