......over a month after signing the controversial saggy pants ordinance, Ocala Mayor Kent Guinn said Tuesday he no longer supports it.....
His stance comes after criticism by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The groups claims to be taking direct action against the city, which can mean a lawsuit, according to Dale Landry, with the NAACP Florida chapter.
"I'm sorry, it's going to be black males that are the subject of this," Landry said.

Got nothing to do with race. Has everything to do with ignorance.
But the clowns of the NAACP have turned it into race.
And this mayor is wussing out.
What a pansy.
Bundle saggy pants and Mullets in one ban ordinance. BOOM! Solved.
If the droopy drawer boys want to advertise their “availability”, I guess they can.
They could care less about the welfare of the people they supposedly represent.

is it true that the saggy pants fad comes from prisons where prisoners who are ready for sex would wear their pants down below the buttock - saggy???
If so, I wonder how well that is known by the macho black males.
“Bundle saggy pants and Mullets in one ban ordinance. BOOM! Solved.”
Big time funny...LOL
“And all laws boil down to the point of a gun.”
I saw meter maids without guns ...
Would the racist NAACP be happy if the law only applied to whites?
I don’t think they care, so long as it pi$$es off old white guys. On occasion, I’ll chuckle a bit and move on.
The rebuttal to the NAACP is easy:
“So you *want* young black men to look unkempt and disreputable? And how do you think this will help them get ahead in life? Should they do other such things, like getting face tattooes, engaging in unprotected sex, and telling police officers off before running away?”
I think they should be able to wear their pants the way they want as long as it is not indecent.
That's what laws do. All laws.

I don’t think that there is a surprise in NAACP saying that dressing like a hooligan is part of black culture and a treasured civil right.
It is amazing how many people think they are doing blacks a favor by exempting them from standards that others are expected to meet.— Thomas Sowell
Now, who's the racist?
If these idiots choose to perpetrate a look that says “look at me a**.. I’m available,” then they should go for it... but sure as hell they should have no expectations of being hired for a job or otherwise be taken seriously. They CAN have expectations of being ridiculed. But hey.. they want to look like they have <70 IQs... fine.
The bottom line is "Are you willing to use men with guns to enforce your law?"
That is the test of the appropriateness of a law.
Personally, I think the saggy pants are stupid, and have trained on using them for a take-down hold (it's easy).
It's an inappropriate law.

Saggy pants are one of the beat cop’s best friends.
When perps try to run they end up getting a “sidewalk sandwich.”
