RATCHET OR NAH IS THE QUESTION?
In the urban dictionary the definition of ratchet is defined as ghetto, a bum, a woman that will never get her own and will do anything to get it from others. Hmm interesting I always thought ratchet behavior was ghetto loud and the broke acting rich. Guess with slang it depends on whose saying it to truly define it, or how it's said to give it definition. NHM
I'm not quite sure what is ratchet or not but I wanted to speak on this topic because so many bloggers talk about things only relevant to celebrities or current events so I decided to get a little familiar with this.
Most people have experienced some level of poverty or struggle that never defines anybody because some of the wealthiest individuals today admit to having experienced levels of poverty that gave them the drive that made them wealthy today! When it comes to ratchet I think its deeper than behavior.
Are you loud, do you fabricate or exaggerate your status, are you promiscuous or overly flirtatious just to be noticed? I am a real person so I will admit to being ghetto when need be, loud when I need to be heard! If that's the definition of ratchet then hey I have been ratchet, but if ratchet is lose and promiscuous no I'm definitely not ratchet! I guess what I am trying to say is, having one label makes no sense if you are just ratchet all around you yourself know the limits of that title!
So basically My attempt to school you would fall on death ears! In life we are judged for everything from our residence, state we live in, our weight too our accent. It's important to be much more than just one of anything. Being ratchet can cripple you, speak whatever language the situation calls fall but never be stuck in one character flaw too long. Ratchet can be a person whose loud and obnoxious, curses in public, All the way too even crazier levels like glorifying there promiscuity!
To get ahead in life street smarts are beneficial but bringing street behavior into a work or educational situation would get you fired or ignored all together. Never blame where you grow up on how you behave! Never allow popular demand on your choices to sell your self out!
There was a saying, when your parents were trying to teach you about being a follower or a leader, they'd always ask you, if everybody is jumping off the bridge , would you? I mean duh hell no we wouldn't and yet we conform to what we see rather than what we know to be right!
Bottom line is we all step out of character, it doesn't t make us one of anything it simply makes us human. We all can be ratchet momentarily, the only time its wrong is when It is all you are and can be!!
AS ALWAYS YOUR LITERALLY AND INTELLECTUALLY
