We need to get rid of ghetto culture. Should be no tolerance. Start acting white or there will be consequences.

What could possibly go wrong?
I agree that we need to get beyond 'ghetto culture', but I don't think it has anything to do with 'acting white'. It has to do with WANTING to be part of society in the nation in which you live. It has to do with appreciating the sacred nature of life and belief that all people are important. It has to do with the realization that life is a gift - and that none of us have the right to take that gift away from anyone else.
We live in a world in which many people have lost or never developed the awe of life. A world in which attempted genocide has occurred at least 9 times since the beginning of the 20th century, and in which we are descending into a another period of hatred for the people who were the focus of the Holocaust. A period during which Christians are being persecuted. A period in which everything we've built and all the spiritual gains we've made are at risk.
This is about whether we tolerate a regression of humanity into something much worse than the best we've been - irrespective of color, heritage, or anything else. It's really depressing, and I feel thankful sometimes that I'm on the downhill side of an expected lifespan.
