“Take those God-darn hoodies down, especially in the summer,” Mr. Nutter, the city’s second black mayor, said in an angry lecture aimed at black teens. “Pull your pants up and buy a belt ‘cause no one wants to see your underwear or the crack of your butt.”
“If you walk into somebody’s office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied, and your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arms and on your neck, and you wonder why somebody won’t hire you?

Straight talk. There ought to be more of it.
Is Nutter going Cosby on us?
‘bout time somebody says what needs to be said!
Maybe for one day : )
I wonder if this will give white liberal PC-whipped newsroom editors “permission” to mention the racial aspect of the flash mobs, finally?
When we stack them like cordwood they might, maybe, mention the color of their skin or their cult membership.
President "if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun" Obama?
That President Obama?
President "get in their face" Obama?
That President Obama?
Looks like the chickens have come home to roost, eh Mr. Mayor?

AMEN, BROTHER!!!!
And risk detonating the political coalition? That is what matters most to any liberal, and why they take a passive/aggressive tone to anything like this.
The only good news is that gov is broke, where will be hell to pay but maybe in a couple of generations we can get back to having real families again, maybe.
Yeah, you better straighten up or he’ll talk tough to you again.
Nutter not so nutty.
The really weird part of this story is that the local NAACP agreed with him.
“Your shoes untied and your pants half down” - Hey! Let’s leave Bill Clinton out of this!
-——There ought to be more of it.-——
it is like water off a duck’s back. They don’t give a damn
The only thing they understand is death.
Death is the instrument of self control in urban black society. Their country within America is controlled by violence and ultimately death. That is the only means of effective control.
