A ghetto usually occurs when groups of people with the same habits, religion, customs, level of finance ,move to another country, possibly because of persecution in the country they came from. Such people tend to cling together and live near to each other. This gives them a feeling of home, of safety. when peop0le who live nearby, or who don't share their religion or habits friction arises between the two groups. It may be that it is thought that the newcomers are "spoiling the area" and causing houses to lose value.

The worst example of ghettos was during World War 2 when Hitler's henchmen deliberately removed Jews from their ghettos, and then sent them to extermination camps.

Why do people say someones acting black when they do or say something ghetto?

They are being racist. Because racism is still prominent in the United States, African-Americans are often forced into lower paying jobs, and organizations like the Federal Housing Administration move them into so called red-lined neighborhoods. These are the ghetto area. So unfortunately, the demographic ratio is slanted in these areas. This morphed into a stereotype that African-Americans equal ghetto neighborhoods.
