The statement that all places with mostly black populations are ghettos is false. If you don't realize that there are many areas with predominately black populations that are not ghettos, then I don't know what else to say to you.

I think ghetto refers to a bunch of people who are well below the poverty line living in one community.

Haylo, I think he was saying most ghetto communites are majority black, not most black communities are majority ghetto

If you didn't realize that my comment was a joke, I do apologize.
I was simply trying to beat Kinghooter to the punch by replying with the best(worst?) drivel I could muster at the time.

When I say ghetto, I mean projects.

Filled with people living on state/federal aid, cheap housing, and still spending ridiculous amounts of money on their cars instead of moving to a safer neighborhood.

Mercedes, Navigators, Denalis, etc.

They should be fucking punched.

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
cause if theres one thing that she dont need
Its another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, dont you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or hell grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he dont get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray chicago mornin,
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
