He is simply aping the black. This has been going on, in our culture, for quite a while; pants down over the buttocks, rap music, baseball hat turned backwards with the bill over the neck, the use of black slang. White children intuitively know that black culture is favored by the media, movies, sports, schools, churches etc. etc.
Yes and no. I really think this "pants on the ground" and "no shoelaces" fashion is simply these idiots way of being "cool" just like your typical prison inmate who also has no belt and no shoelaces. So cool man, so cool.
A couple of years ago, I went into my neighborhood gas station in Houston to get a newspaper. There was a school-age dummy looking for a before school snack. He was walking around holding his pants up with one hand. I told him he could use both hands to find a snack if he’d put on a belt.
He looked at me like I was a racist ahole.
I quit watching Am. Idol when nearly EVERY nominally white contestant tried to sing “black” and did a crappy job of it! Daniel Patrick Moinaghan nailed it when he said that the yoot of America were being dumbed-down. Sad to say, the gubmint schools are in the forefront in doing it.
