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)

“You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come:
Knock as you please, there’s nobody at home.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
