Sagging Pants: Fashion Statement Amongst Black Youths?

Hmm, interesting. I went through previous pages and some people here were posting crap.

Anywayz, @topic, I believe it's a fashion thing, definitely not a culture because it's not looked upon as a normal thing or accepted in most places in America although if someone living in another country sees this dressing being portrayed in rap music videos, one would think 'oh, it's normal to sag pants in America'. False! I see the ugly looks people who dress like that get, and not just at school.
   It has happened at a public place where this dude walked in with his boxers all out; everyone looked at him like he was stupid. Even at school, which is made up of blacks and hispanics who it's in their *culture* to sag pants according to some people here, it's still looked upon as indecent.
Well, I personally don't like seeing boys' underpants, wtf!, and my girls don't either.
  Oh, as for those saying it came about because prisoners weren't allowed to wear belts, I don't know about that because people wear belts but still sag.There's nothing wrong with wearing baggy because it's not cute either for a guy to wear a really tight-fitting pant like a woman but when the underpants is exposed, that's it! There's no other word other than indecent for that type of dressing. Period!

Fashion, chiogo, people's way of dressing is also considered a part of their culture.

I don't know why you don't get my point.  You can read, right?

You said " I believe it's a fashion thing, definitely not a culture " - just thought it was contradictory and wanted to provide a rebuttal to that.

It shows that you're down for the hood.  The hood is a territorial achievement for the black american man.    lots of innocent lives have been lost and their bloods shed all to defend the turf.  wearing your trousers and jeans around your waist is a statement of disloyalty to the black community.  Shows that you are an oreo and are not down for the cause.  That you support the white man and are not your brother's keeper.

    LMAO I can't believe I typed all of that with a straight face.

My uncle was telling me, yest.,  about "Drive By Shootings" gang in NY. I think that's what CH3COO's talking about.

Is "how low your pant can go" the requirement you need to get into  that gang? I mean, isn't it hard for those people to walk like they got sh*t stacked up their ynash?

@topic
One of the most stupidest things anyone could come up with, it is quite common over here, thank God it is improving kind of, nonsense

@CH3COO, umm, ok. I never thought of it that way, you're right. 

The point is, it is no excuse for justifying nefarious behaviorism.  Would you kill your mother because a "white man does it too"? That's a contemptible reason to participate in abuse.  The white people you compare yourself to have done more to participate in a cycle of maintaining a healthy environment that's prosperous for everyone.

thanks for accepting.

@CH3COO
oops, rude me. almost forgot to say thanks.

@oyinye
You've seen the prepiest boy sag their their pants. abi?

Those boys are confused. Well groomed boys  don't  show off their briefs to people who really don't want to see it.

Please, when you meet another preppy boy, ask him if that's the "Good manners" he learned at home.
If he says yes, tell him he learned wrong.

You know you're a naughty little girl.

Lmao you are so corny

It's not even about winning or losing.  If you're so concerned about knowing who won, the white men won this rat-race a long time ago.  Black people are still fighting to get it back.  We shall not quarrel or begin a cat and mouse argument over whose opinion is superior; however, I will encourage you to understand that one's living environment is no excuse to condone sheepish ideas.  Sagging pants is a prison trend that wasn't intended for the purpose of fashion.  Even freedom to express has its limits - what type of freedom is a grown ass man expressing by sagging his pants.  Makes him look inappropriate, irresponsible, feminine, dull, pathetic, dirty, you name it.  Why bother putting the darn pants on if your plan is to let it slide all the way back down. What is being expressed here that cannot be expressed in a more appropriate manner?   Kids or adults don't need to see these obscene displays while walking down their streets.

Gosh oyb. Horrible thought.

Wonder if that's the real reason 

yeah well my ex husband an aa, when he was younger he used to wear all these things he told me that he basically just whipped it out where needed be.

THEN HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM AND WORE ALL KUFIS AND JILBABS LONG GARMETS ETC. 

You have had too many husbands in your lifetime, don't you think?

tattos actually existed in african and polynesian culture a long time ago. sagging pants is a form of self-expression which doesn't bother me, won't do it though.
