Black People & Ghetto Culture

Ron Artest:

I understand what Yao said, but I'm still ghetto," Artest said, according to the report. "That's not going to change. I'm never going to change my culture. Yao has played with a lot of black players, but I don't think he's ever played with a black player that really represents his culture as much as I represent my culture. Once Yao Ming gets to know me, he'll understand what I'm about.

Read the whole article, He's basically admitting that you can take him out of the projects, but you can't take the projects out of him. He's got a career, money, but that don't mean shit to a real G YO! In other words, he's keepin it real.

Thats Ignorance, I think when he made this statement, what he meant to say is that he represents ignorance. I'm a black man, and reguardless what your upbringing, once you are grown and have all the oppotunities presented to you that you never had and have all the moeny you could want, you reverting back to your previous situation instead of taking advantage of the oppurtunity to better your self and help the communites in which you were raised in to show and help them see that there is a way out, then thats plain ignorance and has nothing to do with being black

Just my 2 cents

It has nothing to do with reverting back to a previous situation. It's a mentality that you develop when you live that life, some want to change, some don't. To each their own, it is obvious that the money hasn't changed who he is where as with most people it doesn't. Money doesn't make the man, the man makes the money, therefore why should the money change the mentality that the man has had his whole life?
