stoppin the use of the word "ghetto"

  ISSUE: Stereotypes  and  Racial Discrimination i had a grievance with a local judge in my area, which is known for being one of the most discriminatory regions in this area. there is  absolutely No African- American representation on ANY level of the judicial system in my area except for one cop and i shutter to think of what a day on the job is like for him. So my problem with the judge has grown into a bigger issue . i wrote a letter to my local state rep. needless to say he never got it . but words like psychological terrorism and extreme  hostile grand standing were used in this letter. this judge violated my human right not to be mind screwed cause he threaten jail & children and youth. slapping himself in the face and yelling. then i posed the question How far is the presiding official allowed to go. i had a witness who can speak on my behavior after that. i ALMOST RAN A RED LIGHT!! .

this letter went up the flag pole i was upset because first off the judge assumed that i a  was part of the Philadelphia influx.  a large part of the population in my area are RECOVERING Philadelphia natives .  he immediately assumed that i was on welfare , that i didn't know my rights as a registered voting taxpaying american citizen. little did he know I KNEW HOW TO SEND A BCC (blind carbon copy email!)

     Join me in the fight to stop the use of the term GHETTO cause what does it refer to ? The young lady  with the oversized earrings ? or the single mother of 3 and just as many fathers? or maybe the  loud woman in the grocery store .  in all cases the term is used negatively . and the thing that kills me is that we have EMBRACED IT !.......

    I agree with this alot of black women have embraced it .I watch some movies with the black women that are sluts ,angry or they on welfare (not knocking welfare if you need )but thats how we are labeled even in Hollywood ,,because there ar...e woman that act in this manner,, The only thing we can do is change ourselves and prove to them that we are worth more ,,,But I also laugh at how so many white women are getting the butt injection ,the big lips and the stuff they put in there skin to make them darker that is naturally in our skin ,,,Sometimes I wonder are they laughing at ?us or they want to be like us? hmmmm, ,,,Hope I didn't get off the subject but thats how I feelSee More

    Andrea Page then you look at movies like precious. which tells the story of a lot of woman's lives. the bitter truth of that movies forces us to analyze the stereotype are we indeed angry black women? are we doing it to ourselves by verbally abusing our children encouraging them to work the system turning our heads to the sexual abuse.that movie exposed us to Caucasian Americans .
