They went to Screen On The Green at Piedmont Park which has been going on for several years. It is basically a free movie every Thursday. Usually quiet and peaceful with lots of kids and families. But last night a huge swarm of ghettoites attacked the people watching the movie. Several were beaten and robbed and others were shot at. Then the ghettoites fled back to the Midtown subway station. The Atlanta Police, as usual, did not want to become involved.

Ok, what is a "Ghettoite"? Whoever did this, deserves to be given the same justice dished out to them tenfold, teenagers or not.

A ghettoite is somebody from the ghetto or that has ghetto culture.

Are you referring to poor blacks from urban areas?

I think Hoops and Yoyo are the leaders of the Ghettoites in the next Star Trek movie.

That's too broad a brush. "Ghettoites" narrows it down to the nitty gritty.
