Ghetto Passport

Ghetto Passport addresses pertinent issues that many current and former disadvantaged black Americans face or faced. Ghetto Passport sends a message: Although an individual has left the mental and physical confines of the ghetto, one should never be ashamed of having dwelled in such a predicament. It also suggests that one should use those firsthand ghetto experiences didactically to help those that are left back. Ghetto Passport promotes self-perseverance, resiliency, applied education, and the need for intercultural philanthropy as opposed to a heavy reliance on government as a panacea to African American poverty. Unlike many literary sophisms that address issues surrounding the black community, Ghetto Passport facilitates the psyche of desperate, young, and forlorn African Americans from a first-person perspective and from a now vicarious stance.
