Why are people so offended by what goes on in the streets ?

It seems like 2 me everybody has a opinion about the ghetto , half those people who do probably never been in the ghetto but my question is why are so many people offended by the issues of what goes in the ghetto ? What y'all think people in the hood are not educated ? What you think people in the streets some how beneath you ?What is it ? Where does the offense lies ? If there was such a problem with the ghetto's/streets why are people only complaining about it and instead of trying to do something about ?

Wow, no disrespect but are you bi-polar?

If so, they do make medication for that and I suggest getting some before starting anymore threads

Now I see you're using your other Org name and I'm convinced you need to see someone. - edit

OK, I'll give you an honest answer. You may not like it, but I'll give it just the same.


I live about 30 miles north of Sacramento. I used to live in the Bay Area, in a town right next to San Jose. What I think happens is this: Too many people concentrated into one area is the problem. The town I live in is small, sparsely populated, peaceful, and calm. There has been one murder here in at least 15 years, and I wan't it to stay that way. Year after year, the crime has spread from Sactown, up and out. I'm not sure if people commit crime because they have a low income, their parents were shit and didn't teach them anything, or by my above reasoning. I WANT to believe it's because of the concentration of people. I don't look down on anyone for having a low income and such, but I DO look down on someone who breaks the law to gain. It's lazy, immoral, and pathetic. I consider it an act of pure stupidity. This is why others say they don't like the "ghetto". It's because they don't like the crime. I don't think I like the name "ghetto", and I admire the people who live in low income areas that live a life without resorting to crime. I'm not sure what your post means though.

Last time I checked people outside of ghetto area's do just as much as crime as the people in the streets. They only difference is they do more elusive crime other then robbing somebody 4 money. when you have money you'll be put on probation, not go 2 jail. You'll be protected, the media won't try 2 blast you unless your martha stewart.
