The NYPD has declared a portion of Flatbush a “Frozen Zone”, meaning media are not allowed in and people can be subjected to arrest for not following police orders. It basically means the area is under temporary martial law. The last times the NYPD declared a Frozen Zone was on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and during the beginning of OWS.

Please call 311 to demand that everyone in connection to tonight’s Kimani vigil/march be released from the 71st precinct in Brooklyn. There’s one Malcolm X Grassroots Movement member arrested & two Justice Committee (JC) members arrested. A ton of community members who were at the vigil/march were also arrested. If you have friends/family in NYC please tell them to call 311. If you live in NYC please call 311. Let’s get them free! Please share!

NYPD decided not to release community members and Cop Watchers arrested at the vigil for Kimani “Kiki” Gray. Please call 7182502001 to demand NO charges be brought against all arrested

Fashion Therapy: African American Dolls

I must have been under a rock or just a heavy fog of ignorance because I had no idea that they were such beautiful varieties of African American dolls on the market! Of course we may have some Mattel watered down versions, but the vast majority of the dolls i’ve seen are absolutely…

love love love

Recently I was in the shopping mall  and I happened to hear a conversation between some people discussing their dislike for this black girl’s hairstyle who had just previously walked by. One of them called the girl’s  hairstyle “ghetto”, then followed up by saying  “I hate when black girls put all them colors in their hair”. It led me to ask this question, what is ghetto really?  Because I have seen similar hairstyles with Caucasian women never labeled as ghetto. The word “ghetto” has a negative stigma attached to it and it seems like ghetto has become synonymous for “Black People”.
What determines whether something is Ghetto or not? Why do some people consider one ghetto and not the other? Is being crafty with the supplies available to me ghetto?  Is being creative while black unacceptable? Does the price of something determine whether you should consider it ghetto or not? Or maybe I’m wrong…. Please do share your thoughts….

@hated_logic

You’re exactly right. Just like when Black people improvise, it’s ghetto, but let a middle-to-upper class white person do it, it’s a lifehack, or being thrifty, or economical, or thinking out of the box, or brilliant, or whatever.

THANK YOU for calling out this double standard. People need to recognize and acknowledge this shit.

What makes it ghetto is the person. Honestly, in my school, there are girls who are extremely extremely to the point of no return ghetto, and they decide to get their hair in the colors of a pack of skittles. That makes everything even more ghetto. Now sometimes there is nothing wrong with black people getting crazy colors in their hair, but let’s be honest, most of the time, it looks better on white people. That’s not saying white people aren’t and can’t be ghetto, but when black girls get their hair dyed crazy colors, they act crazy. They act ghetto, because most of the black people I’m around like to be ghetto, but don’t like to be called ghetto. I’m not trying to discriminate or sound racist because i am mixed, and I wanted to dye my hair a soft pink once, but I guess it all depends on who you are and what your personality is. I think it’s all based on personality. Honestly, even some white people shouldn’t get certain colors in their hair because it just down-right looks tacky, and black people sometimes use the word ghetto for tacky. It doesn’t matter WHAT skin color you are, tacky is tacky. Some people just happen to have ghetto tendencies. (Which is horrible.) Now along with hairstyles, and hair colors, it also depends on your make-up, if you have a crazy color in your hair, don’t go all out and put the same color make up on your skin to match your hair, that isn’t ghetto, that is TACKY. Like, the black girl with the green hair, personally, I don’t like the color but the make-up too is just over doing everything. What determines if something or someone is ghetto or not, to me, is that person’s personality, it has nothing to do with their style or their hair. it’s how they act. Black people OVER-USE the term ghetto, for tacky. I hear it everyday. 99% of the things the black kids say in my school is ghetto, it’s actually very tacky. But some people, black or white or whatever your nationality is, just don’t know the difference, or they do, they just choose not to acknowledge the difference. lack of knowledge. Ignorance even. But nobody can be labeled ghetto just by the colors of their hair, that’s pretty….stupid to me. I’ve been called ghetto for having blonde hair… and it worked for me. It actually looked cute, but people aren’t used to things that are out of their social-norm. So they criticize, and that’s the sad thing. Once again, lack of knowledge. Ignorance. And that, is my take on this. :)
