By Paul Street
April 19, 2006 Black Commentator

I’VE GONE ghetto.
Don’t be alarmed. This isn’t news. Actually I haven’t gone ghetto; I’ve just realized that I’ve been ghetto all along. I’ve always figured - wrongly - that certain key lines on my resume at a certain point in my life would dispel ghetto for good, such as a couple of degrees, a certain facility with words and language and an inordinate fondness for Greek mythology.
