Well, my mom sounds pretty defeated when I asked her if she's going to keep this one. I think my ex-stepdad is going to freak out if he finds out there is another animal in the house and he's going to cause trouble since he shares custody with my twin sisters. The remark was hardly racist since he's white and I'm not. We're probably even the same income level. He's just from one of those families who isn't well off but doesn't realize that clean living and having pride in yourself is free, thus my version of making yourself ghetto.

I don't think that was necessarily racist - it is so much a matter of attitude most times.Originally Posted by moosmom

Back on topic though --- I love this little guy and if I lived anywhere near you I would snatch him in a heartbeat!! I miss having a tabby kitty in my life.
I hope he gets a good home, somewhere. He looks so loving. My heart breaks for him.
I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.

What does that phrase mean? I guess I could Google it. I'm clueless as usual.

I'm trying not to think the kitty is cute. Really I am. Not allowed at my apartment so he can't possibly be cute.
Ghetto is a socioeconomic term that refers to people living in the slums or the bad side of town mostly because of their income level. It was started in Italy to refer to where the Jews live and has nothing to do with African Americans innately. I guess if you live in the Jim Crow south they use it mostly to describe where there is a large population of poor black people but we don't specifically use it for race specifically in this part of WI that is mostly northern European. We have few black people to use racial slurs on where I live. In fact, there were none in any of my classes from kindergarten through high school. There's like 5 families now. I really just used it to refer to the fact that this kid is from a background of alcoholism, drugs and all that sort of stuff.

Elvis sang a song about the ghetto (In the Ghetto) and didn't get lamblasted for it. I didn't think a racial slur was what was intended in this thread either.
