@zoya_letstalkwoc: What makes something “ghetto?” Let’s dive into the history and resistance associated with this term. We throw this word around so casually when it has a deep and loaded history that refers to racialized communities and other marginalized groups as lower class and less than. With the apparent “ghettofication” of lulu lemon, we should ask how this word contributes to the policing of black culture.#foryou #ghetto #lululemon #blackculture #newyork

I've noticed something When black ppl and other POC join in on something usually for white ppl (Lululemon for ex) it becomes "ghetto" and ruined" But when white ppl join in on something popular in communities for POC (like food and clothing), it becomes trendy and cool??? Like🤨

Calling dark liner “ghetto” until their favorite white girl does it🫠 as if we haven’t done it for decades because of the exclusion of black and brown women in cosmetics

It's ghetto until a group of rich kids want it and then it is resurrected in their image then it is chic until it's widely accessible then it's dead and ghetto and the cycle loops endlessly

BRO THANK U FOR THIS!! white peoples are always so quick to call something “ghetto” and when u tell them they probably shouldn’t be using that word to describe something they’re always like “oh if u associate the word ghetto with a race ur the problem” well yea that’s literally bc the word has history behind and has literally been used against people of color for the longest????

It reminds me of prom season when specifically black girls would post their dresses and the search bar would have ghetto in it when it would literally be the most beautiful dress ever

right and then its considered ghetto until a white person does it, then it becomes cool and they get treated like they're innovative or like they pioneered said thing

Idk :
Why are people calling it ghetto now because POC are wearing it….as if the company hasn’t always been trash; they picked the name because it was mocking how Japanese people pronounced L’s😐.Oh but now it’s ghetto because it’s not only white people wearing it not because the company creator is racist.

Sister I’m telling you right now, most white people are tone deaf and they will hear this but it’ll go to one ear and out the other, a lot of white peoole are ignorant and don’t like being educated. Shit is sad because racism is being so normalized now it’s actually insane.
