“Drugs are so easy to get in the ghetto. They might not be easy to get in nice areas like Beverly Hills, but in Long Beach and Compton and South Central they're easy to get. They don't drop those drugs off in Beverly Hills. They drop them off in the ghetto. Then they tell us it's wrong to sell them. Well, we didn't bring them here. We just sell them. I was selling, like I sold newspapers.” WellsLongMightEasyNiceDrugAreasSellsSouthNewspapersSellingHillsBeachGhettoEasy To GetBeverly HillsComptonLong Beach Author:Snoop Dogg
“It is my belief that exciting things happen when a variety of overlapping activities designed for all people-the old and the young, the blue and white collar, the local inhabitant and the visitor, different activities for different occasions-meet in a flexible environment, opening up the possibility of interaction outside the confines of institutional limits. When this takes place, deprived areas welcome dynamic places for those who live, work and visit; places where all can participate, rather than less or more beautiful ghettos.” PeopleDifferentHappensBeautifulYoungBeliefWhiteEnvironmentPossibilityActivityLimitsAreasExcitingBlueThings HappenLocalsOpeningWelcomeVarietyOccasionsInteractionFlexibleDeprivedGhettoVisitorsCollarsOpening UpExciting ThingsWhite CollarOverlappingBlue And White Author:Richard Rogers
“I lived right on the borderline of a black neighborhood. So I could go into the black area and then there'd be these ghetto theaters that you could actually see the new kung fu movie or the new blaxploitation movie or the new horror film or whatever. And then there was also, if you went just a little further away, there was actually a little art house cinema. So I could actually see, you know, French movies or Italian movies, when they came out.” IfsKnowsLittlesArtFilmHouseBlackHorrorAreasTheaterCinemaNeighborhoodItalianGhettoHorror FilmKung FuBorderlineFrench MoviesKung Fu Movie Author:Quentin Tarantino

“In many large urban areas, the majority of working age African American men now have criminal records and are thus subject to legalized discrimination for the rest of their lives. It is viewed as "normal" in ghetto communities to go to prison or jail.” MenAgeCommunityRecordsSubjectsNormalAreasMajorityPrisonCriminalsDiscriminationAfrican AmericanJailUrbanGhettoUrban Areas Author:Michelle Alexander
