Dear Jesus make him better
Make him what I want and need
Amen.
Selfish prayers, prayers that appear delightful,
Spirit-led and selfless
I want good things for you
For the sake of me
I hope for you
So that you can love me
Its the worst of “lust”
The cloaking of its nature
So it resembles love
We paint it as a humble
When all it does is boast
We give it honor
and so destroys loves soul
love desires commitment,
mercy, zeal and hope
love waits and forgives
give goodness when all we did is spit
our hearts bleed destruction and
we confuse it with passion
give lust a break
let love save your prayers.
subconsciously ever morning I woke
as sun the rose
I hoped for our love
at sunset when nothing changed
When ours was still darkness
I hoped on still
Today the sun rose
And I knew your love couldn’t
your love never will
I’ve spoken to my heart
Wrapped it in POP and
Said Dear Lord do your will
. Its like a sentencing . I glance at the symbol
this small dot that demonstrates the end
it says its final
we are final
our love has reached its end goal
back where we started
strangers and ex-lovers
friends who used to laugh
we gave our lives some warmth
.
there it is again
reminding me of our end

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_logicYou’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. :)
