Not seen as racist at all, but rather an observation.Originally Posted by 350ZFTW
Here's the thing. IMO, society still categorizes nearly all black people to the TYPICAL stereotypes. The media slings the saggy pant wearing, "thughsh" looking, Oversized t-shirt black guy everywhere. Many times, families were too poor to afford new clothes for more than one child in the household. Therefore, the children would recieve the older (bigger) siblings clothing to go to school. Most kids were embarrased, but passed it off as a fashion move. New trend.....still hitting hard today. It makes you "cool".
Some of my other friends can't stand the "Bro" look, lol. Tight ass custom fit Polos the show your damn nipple, lol.![]()
When Jim Jones made "Ballin" he was wearing the tight fitting tee's with the fashionable true religion jeans w/ the chain. The song was a BIG hit, so the lyrics and video hit the hip hop and black community hard.
Jay-Z is shown rocking high-end taiolred suits all the time! Now, lots of entertainment groups are starting to dress in suits for their party promotions! Keep in mind, lots of these are the ages 18-26!
As stated by someone above, I too have never worn baggy clothes with my ass hanging out. My dad would have tore my ass to pieces.![]()
