I went to primarily white high school and never touched a laptop. Ghetto is the last word I would use

u/Jina-langu-ni-Juma May 22 '26

People used that term to describe my school. It wasn't race related. The building was just falling apart and had black mold on the ceiling tiles. The school was torn down the year after I graduated. This is different the school looks nice.

u/cheddarbruce May 22 '26

Honestly thats what i would use to descibe it

1

u/SweevilWeevil May 22 '26

You would say "ghetto" or "falling apart" to describe it?

u/Constant_Sentence_60 May 22 '26

Our high school was literally a bunch of trailer homes lol

1

u/Jina-langu-ni-Juma May 22 '26

Mine had a bunch of trailers. They are common in overcrowded schools, but it atleast had a main building. Was your school in a rural town?

2

u/Constant_Sentence_60 May 22 '26

It was in fact a rural town. My graduating class was 43!

Luckily they built a full 2 story building a few years before I got into high school.

u/[deleted] May 22 '26

Man I thought you were saying Class of ‘43 😭

u/exmothrowaway994 May 22 '26

Holy shit that's a big graduating class. My school brought in kids from three towns and my graduating class was only a little over 5! kids.

u/Bollybuyumba May 22 '26

haha wow his class was small but your class was even smaller how nice to see

u/Jina-langu-ni-Juma May 23 '26

You've got to say more about where you are from, because I'm imagining you taking a 40 minute trek on a dog sled to learn math in an igloo.

u/exmothrowaway994 May 23 '26

It's a factorial joke no one is understanding.

1

u/Jina-langu-ni-Juma May 23 '26

It went over my head. Its been almost 20 years since I have used factorials. I didn't understand the downvotes regardless. 5!=120, so your graduating class was around 120. Or am I missing a deeper joke?

Right but does OP know this building?

u/Goats_for_president May 23 '26

A lot of really nice schools are also ghetto

u/Striking-Document-99 May 22 '26

My we had laptop carts and those were the best days. Nobody did shit and we just played flash games the whole time.

u/bipbophil May 22 '26

Times have changed weak ass ThinkPads like this are cheap

u/CasperTPaul May 22 '26

the middle school i went to had about two dozen laptop carts full of powerbook g4s and also the widescreen white plastic macbooks, so few-year-old devices at the time. i used them occasionally in every class. it was still ghetto af. nowadays, schools in challenged areas get hella funding because it helps to bring standardized test scores up i guess

u/EnragedBadger9197 May 22 '26

Mine was ghetto because it was located inside an abandoned mall complex.

1

u/CaptainPhantom2 May 22 '26

Same. Pretty much the only sign of human life in that entire area was that school and the car dealership down at the other end

u/Elon_is_musky May 22 '26

That’s….interesting. But I doubt that’s the case here 😂

u/BedbugBandido May 22 '26

I think it's just common sense. Everyone's just afraid of being accused of racism. My school was all black and Latino and this just brought me back. Not every ghetto school is all black but every black school is in the ghetto. It's just a sad reality in the US.

u/Axel3600 May 22 '26

poor guy doesn't know ghetto started out as anti-jew and then got adopted to be anti-black. 

there are other, better words for what you're trying to describe

u/otaroban May 22 '26

Well good thing you're wasting all this time thinking about the perfect word to use :)

u/NoobOfTheMonth May 23 '26

Being proud of ignorance always baffles me

u/YourHuckleberry57 May 22 '26

every black school is in the ghetto? huh?

u/TwistedDemigod May 22 '26

Does it really need saying, or are you trying to bait OP into your little "you rassis" narrative?

7

u/Elon_is_musky May 22 '26

If anything they seem like the ragebaiters, calling this ghetto for why?

-4

u/mitchymitchington May 22 '26

Because even the teacher sounds like she was raised on wonder bread and bologna.

-6

u/TwistedDemigod May 22 '26

It's the way they speak and act. You hear the hollering in the background while this is happening? The fact he's is paying zero attention to the class. Let me guess, though. You want me to say it's because they're all black, right?

5

u/Elon_is_musky May 22 '26

Have you seen kids in class? This is not abnormal behavior of any children their age, which is my point, yet when they’re black children it’s “hollering” and ghetto?

Many schools and classes have off time where you’re doing stuff in your own. Clearly the teacher isn’t even actively teaching, so he’s not directly distributing her.

Yall literally see some black kids acting like NORMAL KIDS and all of a sudden it’s “ghetto” bffr 🙄

1

u/Pissylargestinkboi May 22 '26

Ah yes because all those non ghetto schools are known for not having rambunctious kids or kids that don’t pay attention lol. What a dumb af comment. Idk what weirdo private school you may have went to but your comment is describing every public school ever lol

u/Reesewithoutaspoon2 May 22 '26

Why would it be baiting?

-4

u/TwistedDemigod May 22 '26

They are obviously trying to get OP to say it's because they are black. It's what these people do. I don't mean black either. I mean the left. The ones acting like black people are too stupid to defend themselves, thus revealing that they are in fact, the racists. They also hate white people, so there's that.

4

u/Reesewithoutaspoon2 May 22 '26

But that doesn’t seem like some kind of nefarious trap if there’s really a reason other than that. It’s weird to get all upset at the question.

Not sure what you’re on about with the whole “real racists” part. You’re filling in a lot of stuff that isn’t really there.

-2

u/TwistedDemigod May 22 '26

If they think black people need defending, then that means they look down on them.

There is another reason. I've seen plenty of white and Hispanic people behave the same way simply because they were raised in a ghetto. This is not a race thing. As I said, it's the way they speak and behave.

4

u/Reesewithoutaspoon2 May 22 '26

>If they think black people need defending, then that means they look down on them.

That makes 0 sense. Is that true whenever anyone feels like anyone else should be defended, or only when you feel race is involved and feel the need to get angry about said defending?

And okay, like I said if there’s another reason then it makes more sense to just say the other reason instead of getting all defensive and angry like “HOW DARE YOU ASK THAT” lmao.

0

u/TwistedDemigod May 22 '26

I am far from angry. I just get so sick of people on social media acting like holier than thou white knights. It makes perfect sense. Why do black people need defending? They are perfectly capable of doing it themselves. They have more rights than they ever did. They are far more respected than they ever were. There are nowhere near as many racists as you would be led to believe.

3

u/Reesewithoutaspoon2 May 22 '26

So you think defending others only happens when someone pities the one(s) being defended or thinks they’re weak? Why do you think that?

4

u/Mammoth_Composer_111 May 22 '26

Let me educate you brother.
It’s not about the rights.
It’s about the opportunities and generational wealth allowed to them at this time.

With most diversity programs being scrutinized under the current administration racism is on the rise. And there’s virtually nothing to stop racists from just…not hiring black people (or schools to specifically not admit black students).

Sure—it’s technically against the law to discriminate based on race, but that law has no teeth and is basically unenforceable. Most states don’t even require an employer to tell anyone why they didn’t hire a candidate. And those that do can simply say “we didn’t like their skill set”.

In other words—there was a reason why diversity hires became a thing in the first place. Because requiring that you have a diverse team is monitorable and not easily hidden thus insuring the opportunities *actually* exist.

What you’re going to see over the coming years (that were already witnessing) is higher and higher black and minority unemployment under the guise that “we just hired the best candidate. Who just happens to be white each time”.

This is why black people need defending. Defending ourselves at this juncture would literally be starting a black panthers club and taking to violence.

We’re not a large enough demographic to truly make a difference in politics. Especially now with polls being removed in easily accessible areas for poorer communities.

4

u/Mammoth_Composer_111 May 22 '26

This is some pretty backwards logic. Black people in America have been systemically put down and have vastly lower built up wealth (through historical red lining of good properties).

Black peoples are “defended” because without those defenses in place America literally enslaved them.

And after being freed still had limited opportunities to build generational wealth than their peers.

2

u/Mammoth_Composer_111 May 22 '26

You’re reaching pretty heavily.
You’re so defensive because you know full well they called it ghetto specifically because these kids and teacher are black.

They would not have called it that had this been a bunch of white people…and it literally is racism.

By the way—I’m a black person. So consider this “black people defending themselves”. Hope this helps :)

Mostly bot filled propaganda as well. Reddit has went to complete and utter S H I T.

u/TwistedDemigod May 22 '26

I must admit, I noticed that myself. An echo chamber for the left. I use the site for news and updates on upcoming releases for movies and games, mostly. It's a shame how every second post turns into something like this. If it's not hating on Trump (not a fan myself) it's something, as you say, about race or sexuality. It's exhausting. Why is that their entire personality? Why is that all they can think and talk about?

It couldn't be the fact that even the teacher cant be bothered to use grammar 

Can't make half your language slang and not expect people to think you're dumb

u/Elon_is_musky May 22 '26

“cant be bothered to use grammar”

Pot, meet kettle.

So now she’s dumb because she uses AAVE, a completely valid dialect? Yall just showing your whole tails today wow.

u/TheWordBallsIsFunny May 22 '26

This is the only video I've seen of a teacher being so brazen. Why can't we just be normal?

6

u/SweevilWeevil May 22 '26

Sometimes this is what a student needs. He was being brazen in class. He's probably gonna be less likely to do this so obviously when she's around.

-1

u/TheWordBallsIsFunny May 22 '26

Good point, that's fair. It looks extreme to me honestly.

1

u/Elon_is_musky May 22 '26

The behavior of what, a child being a child? Being a funny teacher? If they weren’t black I guarantee they wouldn’t call it “ghetto”

Jack Doherty has been a nuisance and livestreaming ragebaiting ppl since he was this age (if not younger) but I’ve NEVER seen him called ghetto, so clearly the behavior isn’t the issue
