MODERATORS
Why are you conflating "ghetto", "gangsta," and black? 95% of it is about where and how you grew up.
There's plenty of white guys who, although will never experience and understand what it's like to live in America while black, understand the struggle of growing up in the ghettos, being socioeconomically alienated, and being pressured to look to the "gangsta" lifestyle.
These three can often overlap, but are importantly separate things. A white guy in that situation won't know what it means to be black like I do, but I will never have a fraction of their knowledge and experience of what it means to grow up to the streets.
