What's really hood

[Medley of extemporanea]

Take this test to see how ghetto you are. I think it’s really accurate, even though it geared to measure how ghettoness in an African American, I think it does a good job of measuring general ghettoness with questions such as:

 

6. Use a hanger as a TV antenna?

20. Been beaten with an hanger?

43. Eat Kool-Aid out of the package?

17. Had a stuffed animal or carpeting in your vehicle?

And of course the international test of gettoness

66. Ate cereal out of a cup?

0-20 points - You live in the suburbs and have never made a trip to the ghetto

 

^ That much was pretty obvious. I'm far from ghetto.

[MR ORGILAQE]

i said yes to these two so i guess i am not a ghetto man ah well

[Xafsa]

I said yes to just 2 questions..so that makes 4 points.

some of those questions are scary!

[Castro]

I scored 46. Nice to know I still have the ghetto in me.

[shyhem]

Not ghetto at all.I could only say yes to less than 10 questions.

I guess i'm true somali, and that means i'm familiar with sh!t like eating bariis with bananas,but i have no idea about using hangers as Antennas.

[Baluug]

The only thing that's ghetto about me is that I live in Gov't housing.Oh well!

[Jacpher]

I think I answered couple of questions yes which puts in 0-20 points - You live in the suburbs and have never made a trip to the ghetto.

 

Some of the questions were more of stereotype. I bet more suburban whites use these two than blacks.

 

Used the following terms: what-chu-ma-call-it.

Used food stamps?
