Ghetto ain’t fabulous when it describes sperm and egg donors whose major accomplishment after childbirth is a forgotten orgasm and Boo and baby girl don’t know their grandparents name, their real names and address when they enter kindergarten.

Ghetto ain’t fabulous when egg donors purchase hair weaves and extensions for five year old girls who are not cancer patients and Boo in junior high school wears a zirconium cross and an ear ring but is confused when learning that Jesus last name is Gonzales and virgin is more than a description of olive oil.

Ghetto ain’t fabulous when egg donors are more concerned with getting their nails done weekly while force feeding their children fast food rather than daily healthy meals and see their early developed daughters as normal as they become baby mama’s less than 14 years on the planet.

Ghetto ain’t fabulous as women who can’t maintain meaningful relationships with men become enamored of preachers who they worship as God’s while not researching for themselves life’s most fundamental lessons about use and misuse.

Ghetto ain’t fabulous when females blame males for their poor life choices and then are surprised when they become victims of domestic violence after disclosing pregnancy number four by Baby daddy number two to Baby daddy number one who is the only one who pays child support.

Ghetto ain’t fabulous when young male children in elementary school wear sagging pants which they must hold up with their hands in order to walk properly as they reveal dirty under shorts permeated by body odor which should have been detected before he left home.

Ghetto ain’t fabulous when junior’s only male role models are celebrities who don’t identify with them beyond marketing their latest endorsed merchandise.

Ghetto ain’t fabulous when young men who are begging for attention denied whey they were children choose bizarre clothing and spinning car wheels, and studio size speakers for their cars that scream look at me, see me, to feel important because they lack the skills to build from within.

Ghetto ain’t fabulous because pride was lost and never taught in enough families who allowed ghetto to take over their neighborhoods.

Nations are built one village at a time and the best place to start is where we are the most weak in the ghetto which can be transformed into fabulous before it becomes gentrified and unaffordable for its’ inhabitants who will become the next wave of homeless people.
