The Word "Ghetto"- What Does it Mean to You?

[Petit Papillon]

Our country is more unequal because we have a lot more rich people than you do. So it would in fact look very unequal

Economic inequality is a good thing because it means some kind of meritocracy is at work

BTW, you can't talk about "mixing" in IRELAND. Ireland is 95% white. And of that, you are talking mostly Irish and British. There isn't anything to mix

You have old book, for sure the one before `polish invasion`hahahaha

[ecojeanne]

we were talking about europe right, i was responding based on that fact. actually london has a huge population of black people, i bet you didn't know that

[DoesntMatter]

Oh yeah You have visited Italy and Switzerland and You know eeeeverything about Europe - can I start to laugh?
You would have to live here or visit at least 10 countries to be able to say You know SOMETHING about Europe little man

PS. I know Madrid is in Spain ,but one city doesn`t show whole picture buddy,especially picture of whole Europe lol

Yeahhhhh mr Smart guy tell me more

Let's talk about what we are arguing again. Personal experience has almost nothing to do with this. Except that I can say when in Europe, I saw about 1 black person for every 1,000 black people I see in the US

You said Europe has a lot of black people. That is laughable. Very laughable. Detroit is over 80% black. Cleveland is around 50% black. Rochester is around 50% black. Cleveland and Rochester have average sized black populations for an American city

These are demographic facts that cannot be argued

Find me a European city that has more than 10% of its population black. Just 1.

LOL, you have GOT to be kidding me. 11% of London is black. Hey, at least you found a European city with more than 10% black population!

You call that a huge population of black people? For the US, that would be TINY for a city

I'm sorry, but Europe is white as fucck.

[Petit Papillon]

PS. You said, besides, That there is NO BLACK PEOPLE IN EUROPE . This is a fact, I just told You it`s different

actually it shows that it's not. countries that are more equal trust each other more and are a happier bunch of people with less crime and less teen pregnancys etc etc. it benefits society, even the hard workers that all people treat each other with respect and trust and that comes with more equality. perfect examples are japan and sweden

11% is essentially none when compared to American cities

Mmm Sweden... I will tell You something more but now I gotta go I have life YEAAAH

YOu SAID NONE IT`S A FACT SO STOP THIS STUPID ARGUE WITH ME , READ WHAT YOU WROTE

[DoesntMatter]

I've got to go soon too. I'm going to another American city today, one that is fairly white (Buffalo). Only about 40% of Buffalonians are black

I said none at the same time I said Italy has Tunisians and Algerians. Clearly it was an exaggeration to reflect the miniscule minority black population of Europe

[Yggdrasil]

No, not true at all. This is the very thinking that is ruining this country. Society doesn't tell those people where to go- THEY do. IT'S NOT SOCIETIES FAULT, IT'S THEIRS, don't shift the blame! That's bullshit, and that kind of attitude is ruining the "do it yourself" mentality that made this country successful

Hang on... I wasn't thinking about the US ghetto's specifically.. I was thinking about the original use of ghetto's.

Examples: the jewish quarters, the japanese-american camps, etc...

I don't think of Harlem as a ghetto

[ecojeanne]

sayin that i'm leavin too, hehe to go babysit my little nephew yihaaaaaaw, i kno most woud think i should be goin out on a fri nt, but i can't wait to see him, he soo cute!

That's fair

None of us are really arguing anything meaningful here... just whether or not 5% of a cities population is considered huge
