I grew up in an upper middle class subdivision in suburban Indiana. I could not have been any farther from the ghetto.

same here, my parents gave a shit about their kids. although I can remember a lot of wiggers tryin' to fit in "the hood" I could never understand how a clean cut kid would wanna be like the ignorant ghetto assholes.

only in america.

I grew up in Buffalo...not the ghetto of Buffalo...although it was majority Italian neighborhood and since they are a minority...I guess technically, it was a ghetto lol.

When I was enrolled in Kindergarden in Ann Arbor, Mi. in 1960 I was a minority
(I'm caucasian) the were 5 white kids and 20 black kids. Everybody got along just fine.
That's because we had parents who cared. The "projects" were 3 blocks away and one of
the 1st constructed after WW2.

They were clean,drug free. 1960 remember. and filled with people who only wanted
a better lot in life. Most moved on, as did I.

I moved to a nicer neighborhood in 4th grade. Still go back to see the hood every time I can.

Now it's a Unv. Mich. Student getto. Ziggermans Deli and the Farmer's Market rule (1/2 block away)
