Morality is Proving AGAIN He's a Total-JERK for that Ridiculous CP3 Trade FIASCO

HATE THE GAME !!!

And that's the epitome of what this David Stern Orchestrated Agenda-DRIVEN
NBA Lockout chess game that has become the actual exorcism of "When White Man's
GREED gets the very best of them to their OWN Detriment-n-Demise !!!"

And since the NBPA has been saying that The NBA Executives bad faith bargaining
has been going on for the past 2 1/2 years this lockout could've been avoided
all together by exercising the ONE-YEAR Option that was still let on the current
deal BUT David Stern and the NBA Owners decided for A LOCKOUT Instead of A DEAL.

Now David Stern stance from the very beginning was BAD FAITH Bargaining 101 and
the NBA's lawyers filing a preemptive lawsuit against the NBPA along with their
insistence on PROCLAIMING that once this offer was pulled off the bargaining table
that the next subsequent offers would ONLY GET WORSE (That's what Mr. Stern Said)

What Is "HOOD" Really Though ?!!?

GHETTO has the following meaning (Source: www.thefreedictionary.com)

Ghetto:
A usually poor section of a city inhabited primarily by people of the same race,
religion, or social background, often because of discrimination.

(Sociology) Sociol a densely populated slum area of a city inhabited by a socially
and economically deprived minority.

Any segregated mode of living or working that results from bias or stereotyping;
a poor densely populated city district occupied by a minority ethnic group linked
together by economic hardship and social restrictions.

Now the actual use/meaning of the word "GHETTO" has evolved significantly over the
past two decades mainly due to 90's Hip-Hop music, Social Consciousness and the
Extremely TRAGIC Consequences that the Drug-Trade has had on U.S. Society as A WHOLE !!!

The Street Gangs along with their widespread territorial dominance regarding selling
CRACK-Cocaine throughout the United States landscape has Touched EVERY CITY with
Violent Crimes and Murder directly related to a Drug-sale or Drug-Dispute of some kind.
Thus the word GHETTO/GHETTOS is no longer strictly associated with NON-White people
living amongst each other in disharmony, discomfort and utter dysfunctional destruction.

Now we are confronted with the Realm of What's HOOD ?!!?


Is it a Place (Physically speaking...) or a State of Mind (Mentally Speaking...)
I tend to believe that the INITIAL Origin of this slang "HOOD" is the innocent reference
to Neighborhood as in Friendly Community with Family, Relatives, Friends and Neighbors
ALL living amongst one other in Peaceful Harmony along w/ building a stronger community.

We've heard the Countless references "I'm So HOOD" to "In My HOOD" to "HOOD Figure"
And depending on One's perspective, sensibility or educational background "HOOD" can be
an affectionate reference to a derogatory-n-insulting term that can warrant all-out anger.

So AGAIN, What is "HOOD" Really Though ?!!?
