Ghetto Beat Remix

Famous quotes containing the words ghetto and/or beat:

“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

“[W]ith them we’ll beat little Van, Van, Van is a used up man.”
—State of Indiana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
