Being "Ghetto" is the worst thing that you can be, if you're a little black girl. While you don't understand everything, you do know that there's a thin line between expressing your emotions and being called a hoodrat so you don't roll your eyes, your neck or snap your fingers in a Z formation. But now as a Black woman, I can't log onto the internet without seeing white publications and tweeters adopting black slang or casually using gifs of black women doing thing that would have gotten me called "ghetto" 20 years ago.  I'm annoyed and Aneisha has to listen to me gripe about it.
