That "fashion" came from the prisons, only the gays do it however most outside of the Big House don't know this fact.
A Pentecostal Baptist church? That must be a rarity; Baptists have been preaching against pentacostalism for decades and beyond.

While we call out this pastor, let's keep in mind that it's rare to hear this mess from Christians are from the right. The left owns racism. It's one of the main ingredients in their recipe.
Then why is ok for black boys to "culturally appropriate" lowered cars from Hispanics?
Of course, the Hispanics stole it from the white boys who started it in the 30s and 40s with "chopping and channeling" cars.
So, LOTS of "cultural appropriation" going on all around. Maybe everybody should just drop that crap and say "It's cool that you like what we did so much you want to do it, too."
Remember the good old days when Mom taught us "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"?
(”I get sick and tired of white boys all the time wanting to go to downtown Chattanooga and try and pattern their life and how they are living black boys with their britches hanging off and white boys want their britches hanging off. It makes me sick to pull up to a red light and see a white boy in a lowered car with a trash can muffler on it”)
Might be a lesson in there somewhere....
Does that mean Nike should make sneakers for black folks emblazoned with a label reading, "I got these from Whitey."
Or they should preface every sentence they speak in English with, "I am speaking to you now in the White man's language, ...."
Or that every NBA blackboard should be placarded, "Brought to you courtesy of James Naismith, a White man."
Because if it doesn't go both ways equally and without exception, it isn't equality.
How many people actually disagree with the pastor? Deep down in their hearts...
“...you’re not black your white and straighten up I’m just simply saying God made a difference in us.”
God made us different, how? We’re the human race-—redeemed and unredeemed. Period, that’s it! Maybe I’m reading into it wrong but in Galatians 3:28:
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus”.
We’re either one in Christ or against Christ...the Pharisees broke us down into groups to divide us...let’s not repeat that except for “redeemed and unredeemed”.
That “fashion” as you called it has been around for more than 20 years now! Kinda old for a fad - I didn’t think they lasted that long. Don’t they realize how stupid they all look? The good news is it sure makes it harder to run from the police.
