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)

“A wicked fellow is the most pious when he takes to it. He’ll beat you all at piety.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
