“Ghetto” is not an adjective
I used to live in Logan heitghs until recently, but as a single parent raising a baby girl, but moving, in spite of the fact that one no longer saves as much in funds on rent, seemed the most natural thing to do. The schools are underfunded and it seems to me that many people in this are seem to forget that being poor is not a permanent condition, nor does it mean one should forget manners. People told me that my daughter would not learn spanish as easily anymore, bu the truth of the matter is that Spanish in the true sense is not spoken there, more or less a patois is, in fact many semi-fluent speakers merely pepper their phrases with spanish words to sound authentic but in reality dismemeber the language further. Crime is overrated, but what really got to me was that I could not take a walk with my daughter in the street safely, nor could I go out at night, and if I wanted to go downtown no cab wanted to bring me back, the few that did, only did so after a generous tip. The problem is that no one in the community recognizes the problems that are endemic to the subculture that is bred in the barrios. Gangs, substance-abuse, prostituttion. Education is not overwhelmingly appreciated and that is the trully dad part.— December 20, 2009 12:32 p.m.
