“you said that just beause a bunch of white kids use it, it is still ghetto talk. but it is hardly used in the ghetto, so it can’t be ghetto talk. is it suburban wannabe ghetto talk? sure. do people use it in the ghetto? not really”

How do you know what is used and what isn’t used in the ghetto? In your other posts you describe yourself as growing up in an affluent community.
I guess you disliked serchingon’s comments or assumption, but simply saying that they are false is enough. Unless you have grown up in an inner city, you can not determine what terms or slang is used there.
The term “brotha” is typically used by African Americans, but it is neither “ghetto” nor “suburban”. It actually kind of another version for Christian brother in churches (like Brother James) We are brother and sisters in Christ, you know?

serchingon, I am pretty sure the OP will not call himself a brotha in his college app. He seems to intelligent to do that.
