anybody live in the suburbs?

The hood is a mentality. If you don't break that mentality down, you will surely bring it with you everywhere you go.

I moved to this country in 1994, and settled in West Oak Lane, Philadelphia. Back then this was a working class community. One neighborhood over was Mt. Airy. They were the white color neighborhood. My math teacher lived there. He lived 2 doors away from my aunt.

About 2 weeks ago the city listed Mt. Airy/WOL as the most violent part of the city. The area is tragic. The truth is I ran to Pennsauken, NJ a few years ago. I didn’t want my son to be murdered as a teenager. I blamed my departure on potholes and schooling. However, it was the crime that I was worried about. Yes I survived the city. But I don’t feel my son should have to dodge bullets. While he’s the one, he’s not fukking Neo.

I live out in the burbs in a well to do mostly black community. Hiphop is really ruining the community though... They spray painted "Welcome to the blood zone" on our community sign and there have been some break ins.

Now you know that that sounds like some

If we all have “nothing” what separates people that are “ghetto” from people living in the ghetto?

Dope! One of my close friends from Brooklyn lives in West Oak Lane.
