Is it normal to be "ghetto"?

70%+ of the United States are middle class, about 12% are poverty line, and then there's upper middle class, upper 1% and ofc below poverty line.

Idk if i just hang with a lotta middle class folks, or if ppl like me are few and far between?

Is it normal to be/feel ghetto when the rest of the world, even the "slums" seems to be rocking the MC title?

(Mind you I've lived in 38 states and visited 47) but ppl of my "ilk" one would say, have either dried up entirely (which i would say hell yeah) or is it all a facade?

When Trump is cash poor, and EVERYONE has an iPhone, makes you think a little.

    I don’t live in the US but to me “ghetto” always seemed more a descriptor of someone’s poor manners, gawdy fashion choices and bad personal hygiene than their financial status. But then again we don’t call people “ghetto” here so I could be wrong. The closest we have is “chav” which is meant to stand for Council Housed And Violent but the literal meaning is no longer strictly adhered to and it has basically evolved into “rude abrasive classless person” (some of whom are from surprisingly well off families.)

      You've got the right idea about it. I don't know why some people like being ghetto either. The culture sucks

    When it comes to words there are definitions, and connotations.

    Wherever you are, whatever you're doing just try to keep yo shit funky.
