Except I lived in a ghetto in France, too, and there still weren't 15 year-old Muhammad Alis driving limousines with Harold and Kumar through their uncontested turf.
But hey, maybe it was true, I'm just voicing my opinion.

Except Aman didn't live in the ghetto. He lived on a lake and a golf course and his dad was a heart surgeon. He just happened to like hip hop, getting into stupid shit, and smoking pot all day. Again, stop trying to force your experiences on others. Open your mind and realize the world is a bigger place than just France and Chile. Also, notice the part where Aman didn't fight at all. He just stood around trying to look cool with a pipe in his hand. And he rolled with us. And we mentioned it wasn't our area. Not very good at the whole reading thing are you? But I guess coming up with stupid one-liners and linking youtube clips after making a series of retarded posts on someone else's blog is your way of saving face.
Well, if you really want it, we could go through the story point by point. For example, how come rich kids could hang out in a ghetto? In my memories, people from my neighbourood in Chile would scam or assault any "gringo" who came, and it wasn't any different in France. How come 15 year-old kids received so much respect when ghettos are usually filled with the most unstable and violent persons around - the kind of people that no threat will stop? Oh, so many questions.
To be clear, I didn't want to "save face" but to leave in an humourous note, but you don't seem in the mood.
I'm not going to bother with someone who can't read. Banning you from my blog. Thanks for visiting. I will leave you with one gem of knowledge that hopefully you will take with you: in America, especially in the South, rich people don't immediately get mauled to death the minute they enter a ghetto. Especially when they know people there and are obviously going to a party. Does shit sometimes happen? Yes. That's why we originally weren't too keen on going to that party. But bitches and drank are a powerful incentive. Does it happen all the time? Hell no. People aren't going to start blasting the minute a nice car rolls through. You know why? Because most times said rich dude/dudette is trying to cop. And the ones slanging don't take too kindly to people blasting up their fucking cash flow. So they make sure that kind of shit doesn't happen. AKA the ghetto isn't dangerous if you know what you're doing.
Have fun in France though. Hope you don't go to the ghetto.

I'd temper this declaration with a "the ghettos I've been to" or something a little more reasonable, because I can personally tell you that "the ghetto" can be very dangerous, even if someone knows what they are doing (which presumably means buying drugs in an expedient manner). Here's a story for you, and it comes from my own experience.
In Toledo, OH, there exists a place known only to the general populace as "East Toledo", and it is common knowledge amongst anyone but the poorest of poor that this neighborhood is to be avoided, even if one is "looking to cop". You see, no singular gang has control of the area, and a multitude of ethnic, social, and prison-related groups have settled there, drawn by the power vacuum left behind by huge reductions in the police force and the cheapest property values in NW Ohio. The Aryan Brotherhood, Crips, Bloods, La Eme (though in Toledo, they go by "Los Churrascos"), even a small contingent of Salvadorans who say they belong to MS13 all vie for control of the heroin trade in East Toledo, and if one gives off any indication that they are going to or have already purchased drugs from one of those groups, you better hope to fucking God that during that brief venture into East Toledo that no one sees you, or else you will be robbed, period. The only reason I know any of this, as I am a white boy who grew up in the nice suburb of Maumee, OH, has a lot to do with my choice in friends during high school, and I can say with total certainty that there exist neighborhoods, ghettos if you will, that one simply does not enter unless they are both poor and in desperate need of a fix.
The moral of the story is that ghettos can most certainly be dangerous; a ghetto with an established pecking order perhaps less so, but any sort of general advice in regards to the net safety of ghettos as an identifiable locale is not very useful in all honesty.
Yeah, you're definitely right on that point. Each neighborhood has its own personality. It's not all one way nor the other. The one I went to for the party wasn't that bad. Nor did I ever claim it was. It just happened to be a crappy neighborhood with a party and later a fight. A few other people started reading way too much into it and claiming crazy shit which really has nothing to do with me or my high school years.
but LOL at MS13 in Ohio. Wherever there's money I guess..
Well yeah, I'm inclined to think that they are just a bunch of Salvadorans who need identification after likely being denied entrance to the various area Hispanic gangs, but you are right on point with the money thing. If you look at a map, it becomes obvious why Toledo is so full of shit; it serves as a nice little rest stop in between Chicago and Detroit, not to mention the proximity to the Canadian border (45 mins or so).

What a story....wow. Like... HOLY SHIT. Kind of awesome yet hilarious yet fucked up. That story is just straight-up crazy, definitely sounds like it came out of an insane movie or something lol. But the writing was actually quite interesting, I thought, and I was pretty enthralled the whole way through. Maybe this is Shady trying a narrative in disguise or something, I don't even.

Yeah, this was more or less my response. Hot dayum.
I can confirm this is not me ><
I'm a prep debater from the burbs, and my dad was an artist
Ah gotcha. But yeah this blog is....just whoaaa. I wonder who OP is, really seems like an alt or a PBU :/
I have a good idea of who SamsungStar is, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt since OP reflected a ton of effort.

Oh gotcha. Hm, I was too lazy really to ponder who it might be, but JUST now, I had a flash of inspiration as well and everything seems to point toward a certain permed user...not sure if it's the same guy, but yeah, he did put in a lot of effort and has been posting pretty well, so welcome back to him :>
I took some advice, read this as satire and it was awesome.... I would rate it more than a 1 if it wasn't for the fact he was trying to pass this all as unexaggerated word for word truth.
Can't really verify the truthiness of OP's story but the stuff about his dad and gangs in Taiwan sounds not too farfetched, at least based on what my dad told me about growing up in the 60's/70s. Lotta gangs just running around with knives and a lot of corruption.
And I never knew that the Bamboo Gang was an actual thing. I thought it was just thought it was something the wannabe gangstas at my middle school made up lol.
To ZeaL: yep, it sounds crazy to people who weren't there, but it's what my dad told me and he's got the scars to prove it. So do all my family "uncles."
And yeah, Bamboo United is very for real lol. BU and 4 Seas are huuuge.
So I stopped reading at the part with your mom driving you fuck ups around in her Range rover and what I got from the rest was rich kids bankrolling stupid shit.
