the point of the use of the terms by the youth in the innercity is that it is not a matter of superior or inferior but a matter of activities, and attitudes that support white supremacy and activities and attitudes that reject white supremacy and are antagonistic to thier interests.First and foremost:
No...I don't consider the term 'ghetto' a race based one, though it may well be a reactionary one, as regards its origins., etc.
And I may or may not be right:
But as I recall, the term 'ghetto' was used by the Nazis, i. e., to refer to the places and spaces they confined the Jews to, aka Warsaw ghetto...
The short version:
It's another means and ways as regards how one people--the oppressors--found and find other means and ways to control and manipulate another people--the oppressed; i. e., whatever the nature of the cultural/socio/economic mix, all did (or do) get treated (or mistreated) ad naseum, merely the basis of where they reside etc.
Notions of one people being 'superior' and another 'inferior' was and is just so much self serving propaganda...
Flashforward and what Fanon also said/wrote long ago continues to applies:
As in?
The enslavers know the enslaved well: Because the one is the creation of the other...
Movies like Frankenstein do come to mind...
Etc.
Actually that was the reason for Karenga translating the Nguzo Saba from the revolutionary proncipals of Julius Nyere, so that we collectively destroy any remnant of ghetto, and return the Black community to the dignity and collective love and respect of the African village
