absolutely! why are we adhering to the things they said to bring us down instead of the meanings WE gave them? they called us black, we said black is beautiful. they call us ghetto, we said ghetto is fabulous. what happened?!

RIGHT! Like we have to justify our humanity or be some sort of high class to be worthy! They STILL really believe in respectability politics after all these years. Who cares!

And tbh, "ghetto" black people are the ones that really create black culture. Jazz & hip hop didn't come from the top!
