HOOD VERSES GHETTO


Is there a difference between Hood and Ghetto? My answer: Hell, yeah! This conversation came about while sipping some Cabernet Sauvignon at a get together with some friends.
Some would say that being hood is ghetto, but i disagree. I can personally say that I grew up in the hood so i know first hand what it means to be hood and not ghetto.
The thing is...you can never remove the hood out of someone that was born there. That would be like erasing someone past. We grow from our mistakes and our past, which makes us better individuals.
Getting to it.....the difference between being hood and ghetto is simple. Someone with a Hood persona can adapt to their environment, a Ghetto person can not. No matter where a ghetto person goes they remain ghetto....They call it keep it real, but a person that's hood has sense enough to be respectable, curtious, and civil in diverse situations. Now, i know alot of people will disagree but that my take on it.
