Recently I was in the shopping mall  and I happened to hear a conversation between some people discussing their dislike for this black girl’s hairstyle who had just previously walked by. One of them called the girl’s  hairstyle “ghetto”, then followed up by saying  “I hate when black girls put all them colors in their hair”. It led me to ask this question, what is ghetto really?  Because I have seen similar hairstyles with Caucasian White women never labeled as ghetto. The word “ghetto” has a negative stigma attached to it and it seems like ghetto has become synonymous for “Black People”.What determines whether something is Ghetto or not? Why do some people consider one ghetto and not the other? Is being crafty with the supplies available to me ghetto?  Is being creative while black unacceptable? Does the price of something determine whether you should consider it ghetto or not? Or maybe I’m wrong…. Please do share your thoughts….@hated_logic

You’re exactly right. Just like when Black people improvise, it’s ghetto, but let a middle-to-upper class white person do it, it’s a lifehack, or being thrifty, or economical, or thinking out of the box, or brilliant, or whatever.

THIS FOR ALL OF ETERNITY

[12:33] him: Okay. I actually LOLd.
[12:33] him: Really hard
[12:34] me: hahaha I wasn’t sure if it would be legible, but it totally is when it’s zoomed. Even without, too.
[12:34] me: I was so mad. Chips Deluxe? Yeah, okay.
[12:35] him: Yeah, Chips DaFux?
[12:36] me: I get ONE package and I have to pick the one where the robot in the factory had a hiccup on the production line.
[12:36] me: I haven’t bothered to check how degenerate the rest of the package is.
[12:37] me: You had ONE job, Rainbow Chip Sprinkler DX1200!

Request: Goofy reads the tweets of spoiled little shits complaining about Christmas

image

on christmas I want you to read the tweets of spoiled pieces of shit complaining about christmas in goofy’s voice

Since I might not get the chance on actual Christmas due to busy holidays, I decided to take tweets from last year because you know what, these kids deserve another wave of shame for their bullshit behavior.  Enjoy the unbelievably wretched sense of entitlement.

I like to think Goofy is reading all of Max’s tweets back to him in the most CRUEL, MOCKING WAY.

I DIDN’T GET AN IPHONE FUCK CHRISTMAS

i am crying omfg. i’m sure this christmas will be just as good
