Ghetto Royalty “The word "ghetto" is often glorified in popular culture and sometimes used as an adjective to describe a certain way of dressing, speaking, and behaving. Like the pejorative terms redneck, white trash, "cheapie" and "tightwad", there's a new meaning for "ghetto" It may describe one's frugal buying habits unlike that of the middle and upper-classes. In common lingo, it may also be used as an alternative to explain a place that is "poorly maintained".[citation needed]
Ghetto is an area where people from a specific racial or ethnic background are united in a given culture or religion live as a group, voluntarily or involuntarily, in milder or stricter seclusion. The word historically referred specifically to the Venetian Ghetto in Venice, Italy, where Jews were required to live. It was later applied to neighborhoods in other cities where Jews were required to live. The corresponding German term was Judengasse; in Moroccan Arabic ghettos were called mellah. The term came into popular, world-wide use during World War II, in reference to Nazi ghettos”
The term now commonly labels any poverty-stricken urban area. In the U.S. the news media created terms like rural ghetto to describe mobile home parks, farm labor housing tracts and Indian reservations to indicate that the poorest areas in the U.S. aren't within major cities. In the United States, urban neighborhoods where Hispanic immigrants settled in the late 20th century (called barrios) are said to be comparable to ghettos, because most immigrants form a culturally isolated enclave and may choose to remain there or associate with their own group.


Ghetto Royalty!!!
I would like to dedicate this to all people groups who have at sometime landed on the shores of these the United States of America. (USA) and discovered the American Ghetto.
Like so many other words in the English Language you can use a word which denotes or conjurors up many meanings or understanding of that word. In this case the word Ghetto for me can be described the socioeconomic status of any people group. This is a word; persons of various backgrounds understand what you are referring to. This title “Ghetto Royalty” which I created is intended to describe a state of mind, a kind of self awareness, rather than a socioeconomic state. My family might even object to the word ghetto as it is often associated with a negative behavior and status. I looked up the word ghetto from an online dictionary to further explain the actual meanings of the word as it might be interpreted in the USA.
I lived in what is considered the US Ghetto but deep in my heart I considered myself better off then those around me. I knew my father was a King and that I belong to royalty and therefore open to many possibilities, opportunities , favours and miracles. So I was able to see myself and my offspring as "Ghetto Royalty."
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN THE ghetto??
Well!!You know you are in the Ghetto when you can hear the neighbor’s son OR daughter'S boon box.
When you can smell the marijuana that the kids on the corner are smoking.
When one of the families on your street is always fighting and cusing each other.
You know you in the ghetto when no one walks the dog, but there are dogs everywhere. You know your in the ghetto when your student's mom shows up in your classroom with well maniqured nails, bedroom slippers, and a scarf wrapped around her very expensive weave. That mom might also be wearing hot shorts with the words Bootyliscious on the back.
I will go on but first your opinions and comments are highly desired.
