    Im saying that that IS the idea behind the baggy clothes. Research a genre before buying into it because its hip. How metropolitan is the area you live in?

    Go grab 15 random black guys. Just make sure they are "hip hopped" to the nines. Then search them. Look in the 45 pockets thos bombers have. Look in the 14 pockets the pants have. But be careful.

    Then imagine having to police them, daily. Imagine.


    reminds me of that scene in Easy Rider when dennis hopper asks the cop for a cigarette and he responds that filthy animals likes him and peter fonda didn't deserve anything...oh well, think i am done w/ this thread
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    OK I'll take your advice... making a mental note here... *must avoid black people in the dark with baggy pants* ok I got it... now what about black people in "normal clothes"? Should I avoid them too? Or only at night? Hmmm How about some white kids in the dark with baggy clothes? Do they have guns too? How about Asians? Arabs? Any other racial stereotypes you want to help me with here so I’m safer? God this is so scary!!! Man I dont even know if I should go out at night... or even the daytime!!!! AHHHHH!!!

    this thread is starting to really explain a few things, though.

    Oh come on that isnt true. Racism certainly still exists, as we have seen on this thread, but things have certainly gotten somewhat better.

    what's even funnier is it was PaperPlates who called ME a troll...i asked HOW me asking a simple question; why do you think Mos Def is an illiterate thug? one he refused to answer repeatedly. why get so mad when asked to back up one's beliefs? the 'because i said so!' answer never did it for me
