If it wasn't clear enough, let em try to simply it.
"Hood", "ghetto", elite", etc. are more than just locations or descriptions of a persons level of wealth. They are mind states. My children will be well cared for and provided for but they will have experience being around family, friends, locations and events that exemplify the essence of a "hood" upbringing.
There are upper-middle class families that chose to live in the "hood" for their own reasons. You know the kid that always has the newest jordans and clothes in a school full of students who live in the projects...Except I am not going to have my children in the hood 24/7 as their home, they will attend the best public schools in their district, I will not spoil my kids or myself with unnecessary extravagance by living in a mansion in the sticks and I will make sure that they remain grounded by gaining an authentic experience with the best of "the other side of the tracks".
i dont know if that was clear to anyone but i see what you're saying...
but that isn't necessarily "hood." what you're saying is you want to raise your kids with good morals and to not be naive of the rest of theworld.
it has nothing to do with being hood... maybe growing up in the hood was your path to that, but the means does not necessarily equal the end there...
and i think the rest of this thread is a little confused on the point u were trying to make, evidenced by the 10 pages of people arguing whether or not it wasbetter to grow up behind a white picket fence as opposed to a slum. i thought you were saying you wanted to RAISE your kids in the ghettos so they wouldunderstand life. to which I was going to tell you, that's stupid.
