maybe, but Ron Artest said he's from the ghetto and and said he IS ghetto. Hence, it's not racist. Ron Artest proclaims himself to be ghetto. Ron Artest buys a house in Houston. People assume it's in the ghetto. Not racist.
Ron Artest has a fascination with all things ghetto. On the Carmichael Dave radio show, he talked about wanting to go to China during the Olympics to meet Yao Ming (and see the Dalai Lamas). He said he wanted to see the poor parts of China, too. When Ron visited villagers in Africa, he asks to stay at the most ghetto parts of the village. Ron can be hanging in a resort in Bahamas and still ask the concierge where the ghettos are at in Bahamas. When Ron plays World of Warcraft, he would spend 80% of his time hanging out in the most ghetto part of Azeroth. Ron Artest keeps it real at all times.
Actually, it's just to poke fun at Artest, because most likely he bought a house in a safe, gated suburban community even while he continues to talk about how he's the ghettoist player around.
Idiot, are you intelligent enough to see that those posts can be racist because of the stereotype? A few persons have agreed that maybe it is racist even though they have reservation (see the top post on this page). You are the idiot to not even think before outright discount someone else's opinion and start calling name. You are the definition of an idiot.
This thread is just riding Artest's coattails. Artest is the one who made virtually racist equations of black culture to "ghetto" and, implicitly, to retaliatory violence. Implying "I started the brawl coz I'm the blackest" is racist to me; BUT, actually Artest implied "I started the brawl coz I am ONE KIND of blackest: ghetto." I'd like to see him find some better ghetto "culture" than what he has talked about, but I have no problem with this thread. It just echoes his own words and he would have to take the joke, since I'm sure he's not moving to some ghetto.
I thought keeping it real means using the 1st amendment to the fullest extend and being truthful. I had no idea that hanging out with the poor qualify you as being real also.. Oh wait you mean helping aid the poor ok, i get it!!!
didn't I tell you guys about a rookies only forum so the rookies can battle it out? great posters don't need to waste time on these jokers.
