Ghetto is a culture. in my area ghetto is usually african_americans, but still is definatly a mixture of everyone. 011220 ... satan satan satan (feeling educational) the first ghettos were for Jewish people were forced into segregation in parts of europe and imperial russia the practice was largely abandoned (in europe at least) up until the start of WWII when the Nazi regime re-instated the practice as a means of keeping various jewish communities contained before eventually sending them off to be murdered. The most famous of these was Lodz ghetto in poland. up to and through the reighn of Stalin, the russian ghettos made the systematic campaigns of violence against jews(called "Pogrom") easier and convenient and this, is where we get the word ghetto 011220 ... ever gospel & de la "angry little boy with the runny nose plays in the street where the cold wind blows... in the ghetto" .......

I am not talking about some old book with scary stories - I mean he would really get down with me and chill! But the funny thing is... I was walking home a few days ago passed the ghetto and three guys pulled me into an ally so deep and narrow it was like a tunnel. When I saw the first guy start to unzip his pants I just drop to my knees and started praying. Oh GOD! Oh GOD! oh GOD! He just looked down at me and pulled out his nasty weenie and said - yah grl that's jus wherr I wans ya ta b. Then he tore at my t-shirt until my breasts where exposed. Then pinched my nipple soooo hard with a twist I almost fainted. I could smell his stinky crotch as he pulled me near. I wanted to scream -- but all I do was whisper. No lord, please no. Then I heard a whoop whoop cop car thingie sound and saw a bright light shine at the end of the tunnel. Next thing I knew they all ran like roaches when you turn on the light. OK so -- it was no burning bush but it sure saved mine! Perhaps I'll have to reconsider this thing called faith! -_- 040218 what's it to you? who go blather from
