Why do some people go around and act like they're ghetto when they live in Beverly Hills?

i think your refering to bored little rich white Kids. Typically rich white kids act ghetto in order to get attention. They aren't getting it from mommy and daddy so they try to get it from society. It is negative attention but its still attention.

I used to live there and I'm not dull witted and rude.  According to my wife I'm just an a-hole, but not dumbwitted or rude.  I might have been dull witted and rude when I lived there though, I don't remember.

First of all for the straight folks. A gay ghetto is not a ghetto. They are typically very nice neighborhoods....gay ghetto is slang for a neighborhood...typically urban where a lot of gay people have located.\n\nI live in a mid-western town to small to actually have a gay ghetto. But we do have historic neighborhoods. All of these have a large gay population.\n\nWhen I bought my last house the neighborhood association board consisted of 3 gay men, a fag hag, 2 other straight people and 1 guy who is the last person on earth to figure out he's gay.\n\nI love the sense of community, being able to walk to visit friends and stuff. I do wish we had more neighborhood businesses...like a larger city's gay ghetto would have.\nSo, yes and no is my answer :-)

they act like theyre better than you because they know that they are not. then they treat you badly to make themselves feel better about themselves. its a defense mechanism they use to make themselves always feel "on top"

The thing is that black people started the hip hop/urban culture you are talking about, so that's why people say they act black.  The term I hear a lot is "wigger", that term has been around for years and years.  I know it sounds offensive to some, I am just stating the term and I don't mean anything derogatory by it.

Because it is for all the repression that whites put on blacks during slavery times. But its not like that everywhere. Plus hispanics were put through similar treatment from whites. Plus u have to look at the difference in the way people act because not all hipanics act black. even some black people have been "whited out" which means that they don't act "black" and act more on the grounds of a white person. Now a days its not called black. Its called Ghetto which is a better way to say it because u dont have to be black or hispanic to act like that. You can be any race even if it is white, asian, or pacific islander. The one thing people dont like about white people is acting ghetto is that they use the "n" word.

Because they know they can get away with it.  There are some people in this world who unfortunately are bumbs and will take advantage of any act of kindness.  I believe that is why the people are like they are, tough and cold.  we have a neighbor who has lived on our land for three years now and has paid exactly 70.00 to us.  Pretty cheap rent don't you think?  Makes me sick.  I don't mean to be rude to him but he runs on our light bill which is running us abotu 650.00 a month.  It was our decision at the time to let him because he was down ond out, but I think htree years is ong enough.  He should start paying something now.

Everyone does it not just black people.\nThe reason being they are too self centered to go outside so everyone else can enjoy the movie.Plus they don't want to miss anything.

Think about something here before you judge others by their "income" and assume they should be scrutinized to unfair housing because "some" of the "unhealthier" ones in the bunch choose to follow another route.  There was time when communities fought the drugs in their neighborhoods, I know as I lived in those communities and I share the belief today as I did then that it takes a community and not the ignorance of others to correct a problem.\n\nWhy should the elderly couple down the hall have to be judged by their neighbors because they have a low income and where they live is all they could afford?  Should they be treated as "beneath" because this is where there income has led them?  I disagree strongly and believe it is one thing to self govern your own home but you don't have the right to infringe your "digressions" against those of lower incomes and place them into little stereotypical genres such as "the mentally ill low income"...\n\nThere are circumstances that have placed those in lower incomes into those housing units and many of them have morals and values as rich as the wealthy...

I have an accent, compared to the people I live around now, and they respect me. They imitate me all the time, and although annoying sometimes, it is said that imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery, so I don't mind. If anyone has less respect for me because I grew up somewhere different and talk accordingly, they can kiss my ass.

In an era where people are ultra sensitive, your comment was racist. Personally, I don't think that it was racist and you shouldn't have had to apologies. There is nothing wrong with you desiring to live around people you feel are more like yourself. If the black person said that he didn't want to live in Lexington, Kentucky because it is 80% white or it he even said the exact same statement you made, I doubt he'd be in trouble. \n\nThe right thing to do is apologize that your statement offended him. Some people are very sensitive to things like that because they feel that you would be the type of person who would treat a black family badly if they moved into your neighborhood. They feel that people like you only see black thugs and gangsters and don't see that there are decent blacks that want the same things out of life that you do. While all of this is true, I still stand by my belief that you should not be held responsible because of others tendency to be extra sensitive. Exam your intentions: if you are not a bigot and just want to live in a neighborhood that suits you, that is your right.

I am not black but I asked a Friend of mine that same question. He said it was because they were brought up to believe whites had it so much easier than them. I lived in a mixed neighborhood close to the inner city the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Anyways some of the black guys I worked with were always asking when I was going to get everyone together at my house. So I finaly cleared this party with the wife and guess what none of them could make it over. My buddy who is black said when they found out where I lived they didn't want the other African Americans in the neighborhood to see them at my house. Its a funny old world ain't it?
