3. nice. but those houses look well-kept and hardly 'ghetto'. the kids too.

7. oh, ghetto means 'the jewish quarter' in africa? and those kids are jewish? do tell.

it's not only in the us where ghetto means the poor (typically black) quarter of town.

9. and the only reply you made to the casual comment -- the video wasn't filmed in a

ghetto -- was that 'ghetto' has a different meaning outside the US, namely, a jewish area?

If you didn't care and were only interested in the video, why comment at all, and why argue with what's self-evident? That's not an African ghetto; i.e. not poor.

10. On further research, on YouTube, it turns out that the kids named themselves as a group

Ghetto Kids.

As I implied earlier, if all you took from this wonderful video of kids having a blast and spreading joy, then you missed everything.

I am done with you. Please go highjack someone else's thread.

12. it was yourself who responded to a casual comment (preceded by a compliment)

with a long-winded and useless side-track into jewish ghettos in Africa, claiming that ghetto meant something else to everyone but americans.

11. Excuse me, but...

...fixating on the word "ghetto" misses the point of the video entirely. Some very cool kids are having themselves a great time! Ah, to be young again...

13. Well, I thought that was my point and I wholely agree. I've found "ignore" to be a wonderful tool...

All of those ghetto posts are gone from my feed...

14. Thanks 1monster.

That put a huge smile on my face that I think will stay there for a while. Those kids were amazing and even better was the actual interactive dancing going on between them. So much better than seeing a group of kids, sitting on their butts, staring down at their phones, barely acknowledging each other.
