Nope. Some of the emotional revulsion this fashion trend inspires, among those, like me, who are repulsed is definitely similar to the long hair or you're square thing, fifty years ago. Some.
And many of the foolish looking young men caught up in this baboon-like "presentment" thing are behaving this way precisely because it incites.
And yet there is more to it. It's indecent behavior, dangerous in public because it hinders reaction-time, etc., but what bewilders me is the origin of this ritual. The prisons, and gang-initiation rites. In prisons in America this kind of display says "boy-toy," angling for protection. It says submissive three-geegaw cheap male prostitute. And what's worse, these kids know this only too well, so why do they act this way? To show obedience to a gang-master, which beats a random killing or car-jacking I suppose.
Jailbird crap started the gangnam pants below ass, with underwear covering ass.
It’s an advantage to law enforcement— all they have to do is pull the pants down— no can run no mo’.
-1 for misuse of “its”/”it’s” in a sentence.
Point goes to humblegunner.
Every now and then I get to tell a rookie he can’t sag in uniform.
You are almost as bad as the spelling cops.
That would be spelling CORPS!
Wasn’t it Shakespeare (isn’t that ironic) who said “Clothes make the man”?
It’s about image. Dress like a “field hand” and people will assume you are one. Even Calypso Louie and others in the black community know this. He used to dress like a bongo player and look what an Italian suit has done for him.
Wonder if he secretly has a Jewish tailor?
You moved to SC?
There is so much more.......getting married is “white”, so it is unacceptable for a black to do that - having many women and children by many women is a desirable; having children out of wedlock is desirable - to collect gov. money and get your EBT card; dropping out of school and getting bad grades is desirable - it’s whites that don’t do that; and so on.
A young man I have been working with for about 15 years, now 30, still spends a lot of time in the hood where he does tats (he’s an artist) tells me how he’s always arguing with his friends there because they all believe all whites are racists. He knows better.
But he can’t change their minds. The last 6 years have done more to destroy racial harmony in our nation than anything in our nations history since the Civil War - and it all lies at the feet of O and his buddies like Sharpton, Jackson and the MSM......the murder of that Houston cop and the reporters here in Virginia are things that will soon become normal - the stirred up anger in the black communities is off the chart........
Yes, 5 years ago
Good for you on your exodus from the Taxed Northeast!
Reminds me of Rule Three, from "Ten Rules For Dating My Daughter"
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys your age to wear their trousers so loose that they appear to be falling off. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots.
Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during your date with my daughter, I will use my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely to your waist.
I remember that rule!
It’s like a Bobo monkey.
