Seeing red (black and green)

You are the ghetto because you need the ghetto in order to be somewhere else, to be secure in your suburban community. You are ghetto because you have supported the prohibition of drugs, creating a black market. You are the ghetto because you pulled your kid out of public schools to send him to a nice, private school with good lawns. You are the ghetto because you can’t understand the lyrics in Hip Hop music. You live in the ghetto because there is a gate at the drive into your community. You live in the ghetto because you live in a nice clean house that looks exactly like all the other houses in your sub-development. You are the ghetto because you voted for a politician because he is tough on crime. You told your child to “just say no” so that he’d know how to resist his own culture. You are the ghetto because you Support our Troops. And Freedom Isn’t Free. And so those goddamn gangbangers slingin’ crack in the ghetto, they violated their freedom, betrayed our trust, so they Isn’t Free. They isn’t free, they in the ghetto, they in prison, they in a cage. is you free?
