sagging

The town of Dublin, Georgia, is putting saggy, baggy pants in the category of indecent exposure, with violators facing fines of up to $200.

Dublin Mayor Phil Best said he plans to sign this week an amendment to the municipality’s indecent exposure ordinance. The amendment, which Best plans to put into immediate effect at the City Council meeting, prohibits the wearing of pants or skirts “more than three inches below the top of the hips exposing the skin or undergarments.”

“We’ve gotten several complaints from citizens saying the folks with britches down below their buttocks was offensive, and wasn’t there something we could do about it,” Best said.

Text continues after Pics of the week gallery:

The mayor said after about a year of fielding complaints, he put the city attorney to work researching how other localities have dealt with the derriere dilemma. The result was that council members decided to put exposure due to baggy clothing in the same category as masturbation, fornication and urination in public places.

Patrolling for offenders will be left to local police in the town about 140 miles southeast of Atlanta. Violators could face fines ranging from $25 to $200, or court-mandated community service.

“That’s not our intent, we’d (rather) not fine anybody but we are prepared to,” Best said.

Dublin residents are divided on the issue.

Lashika Haynes supports the push to force folks to pull up, “It’s just disrespectful by showing your drawers to people,” she said.

But there are those who feel that the ordinance singles out a specific group of citizens.

Jean Wolf, who volunteers with young black men in the community said, “They’re the ones wearing the saggy, baggy pants.”

Wolf said she believes the ordinance will lead to profiling by authorities.

    ABLKMAN2NO, AGREED!

    BUT, we can definitely look forward to HUNDREDS of young black males especially, being fined for this one! I hope blacks do indeed realize that this is ANOTHER way for the gov’t to rake in money. This is one I wouldn’t even try to ‘fight’, it’s pointless and the saggin look is disgusting and HOMOSEXUALLY BASED. Just pull ya pants up folks. I would rather ‘conform’ to this law as opposed to paying useless fines trying to fight for the right to sag….

    Although I am not inclined to wear my pants in that fashion, I am opposed to such an ordinance to fine citizens for how clothing is worn unless bare skin such as the buttocks in this particular instance is shown. I am concerned not only with profiling but also with the prospect of constitutional rights being violated. Trends in fashion come and go but when precedent is established for something of this nature, one has to wonder where it will end in terms of ones freedoms and liberties afforded to us under the constitution. No one is harmed or threatened by this activity in terms of their public safety or personal property. The crime in this instance is infringement upon certain classes based solely upon demographics.

Ive seen sagging so bad out here by blacks that it embarrassing to me as a black. and these cats will show the crack of their azz. what about my constitutional right not to want to see another man’s azz crack in public?

    @diggs

    when youre in public, you have no choice but to look. If you have children, they are forced to look also. what I think is gay is a dude walking around in public with his azz all hanging out. poverty is no excuse to be indecent. an ordinance like this would be great. if one want to keep saggin his pants, then pay the fine. if he or she is living in destitution, maybe it would be wise to pull them up until that person could afford the fine.

    Wow. Of all the things to go after. I think that its pathetic that sagging is fashionable and that there are so many ignorant people both black and white that want to make themselves look like idiots doing it. But to make a law against it is ridiculous.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    Listen..this style is about as horrendous as it gets, but do we REALLY want/need something else to criminalize black men? As obnoxious as this style is, to make it criminal is something we don’t want. It’s only give license to these cops to further harass our people. How long before some of these crooked ones start handing out fines to brothers who really aren’t violating the law, just to raise some local revenues. Might sound paranoid to many, but this is a common tactic used especially in hard strapped cities. Lets be clear, right now if I wanted to go to the store in my boxers, is that a crime? What about women showing there thong? How about chicks wearing shorts where you can see butt cheeks? No laws against that? This is a target for young black men, without question. I recently pulled up to a store and a car pulled up next to me. Some young cat gets out with his damn draws hanging out. Obviously that wasn’t the shock, but the thing that struck me was the woman driving HAD to be his mother. WTF????? I’m not sure how the hell a mother could be driving her son around letting him in and out of her car like that…

    fuk that law…. i dont see anybody complaining about fat people wearing tight ass clothes, white men with they crack showing, white boys in trench coats. im offended by all those but its not an issue. if im not in your house or your business you shouldnt have control of someone else’s waredrobe. everytime i see a white boy in a trench coat i get nervous but aint nobody banning that. i used to sag and i damn sho’ aint gay. never been to prison either. yall calling folks homos look at da folks wearing these super tight ass shirts looking like it took them two weeks get get on. where does it stop, folks trying to control what you can eat, dress, your house. where does it stop

    dont let there be an ordinance banning the use of the word “nigga”. black folks will stage a 3 million man march and would want to riot.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/NtelligentlyInclined/ NtelligentlyInclined

    I don’t know how I feel about it being a law, I do know I don’t care to be walking behind someone looking at their underwear. That’s male or female. I work with young people sometimes and I LOOOOOOVE being able to tell them to pull their pants up. I’ve never understood why that became fashionable.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bham205boi/ bham205boi

    while you laughing at folks defending sagging im doing the same. seem like the ones who always throwing the gay issue into a discussion is the one secretly getting they duke tapped.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mr_rightnowww/ mr_rightnowww

    then they should also pass an ordinance against men wearing skinny jeans with their “cameltoe” visible – same principle. but of course, then they would be criminalizing the wrong demographic, in their view.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/panamaniak/ panamaniak

    Where’s the decency? My granddad used to tell me stories about Harlem in the 30′s and 40′s,when cats stayed fly. You could walk down the street on Sunday afternoon without sporting a brim! Just like the scene on Malcolm X when Red first meets West Indian Archie and his crew. Look at Sammy and Cadillac. Then look at Red. Yes it’s mostly Black men. But just because you CAN walk around with your underwear showing doesn’t mean you SHOULD. You make a sundae out of dog crap,but should you? Then you have the “just because they’re Black,it’s racism,etc” crowd. Are you serious???? Now that’s some of what keeps other people laughing and hating us. We got the right to vote. How many actually vote. And how many use the “George Bush” excuse? People DIED so that you could have a decent education. How many high school drop outs are there? How many actually go on to higher education? If King and Malcolm were still alive I think they’d kill themselves. “This is why I got shot at and bitten by dogs and had my skin ripped off by water hoses”? All so young Black men can walk around calling each other “nigga” and looking like they can’t even DRESS themselves,let alone FUNCTION. You shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover but unfortunately we do. If I am hiring someone and I see that eventhough he may be wearing a shirt and tie,but even his dress clothes are fitting like his street clothes,you can forget it. This guy can’t even give up this “style” for a few hours at a job interview? Wow. I don’t blame that mayor! If I lived there I’d support it 100%! It’s NOT racist. It’s about decency.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/brakebread28/ brakebread28

    WTF.

    Should it be a law no?

    But what the f is the social value of young men having their pants damn near below their ass.

    Saggy-fine. Loose-cool.

    But these young cats got the underwear out above the pants.

    And the funny ish isn’t that they are doing it, but young ladies are like aw s**t Pookie got his checkered boxers popping-let me get that.

    All I can say is I understand why white people treat and look at me sideways.

    Only black folks would consider this law an infringement on our race.

    Its an infringement on stupidity.

    _A_, Mmmm I kind of agree with you….No, there is nothing else needed to criminalize black males. BUT on the other hand, aren’t they doing it themselves? We all know this law is aimed directly at black males for sure. But is it a ‘fight’ worth the trouble? I also agree with the person ‘below’ me…Any black that thinks this is ‘taking away’ from our culture or ‘rights’ is an idiot. THIS sagging look should not be something of pride to hang on to.

    I think the BEST thing for blacks to do with this situation is BEAT the law at their own game if possible. Start pulling their pants up respectably.

    do i walk around like the picture above no but do i want someone to legally be able to tell me how to dress. when white boys was shooting up school wearing trench coats i heard nobody wanting to ban them even in the schools. i can’t support this law because nobody is going to ticket the woman whose underwear is showing or the fat man who crack shows teverytime he bends over. some folks consider beaters underwear so should people be fined because they dont have a shirt over it. and on the issue of the how people used to dress and who fought for what. everybody old act like they was in birmingham, alabama and they personally went up against bull connor. my generation did not start these trends that yall find so offensive it was the men before us. yall start something and then all of a sudden you blame and criticize others. anybody can critcize someone over the internet but what are you doing to enlighten young black men. passing a law is not going to change the minds of people.
    answer me this question. how would yall like if someone said because its too many fat people and im offended by fat people they are no longer allowed to eat certain foods?

    @ bham205

    I did go back and reread what youve posted and I stand corrected. however, black folks have the propensity to perpetuate stereotypes. some clothing you cannot wear improperly. I cant get mad if I walked into a bank with a ski mask and get tackled. I cant get mad if I get the shyt tasered out of me because I decided to discuss with someone about what a bomb could do to an airplane even though I have the right to free speech.

    If the person’s free speech impedes the rest than it becomes a problem. sagging pants to the point where I can see that person’s crack or better yet, my 4 year old niece points it out is a problem.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bham205boi/ bham205boi

    ok you make a point i’ll give you that but where does it stop. once you give a group the right to control you you dont get it back. they start looking for other issues they dont like about you. i dont like looking at men in skinny jeans but should i be able to ban them. i dont like looking at obese folks but should we be able to fine them for eating chicken. its not the politicians making this country bad its the folks like me and you, everyday crying about something they dont like and infringing on others but at the same time dont want anyone to infringe upon them. it doesnt matter how you live your life people are going to put you into a box. you can’t worry bout how the world is going to look at you all the time because someone will always find an issue.

    As much as I hate the droopy pants look, the mayor’s law won’t last long. It has no constitutional merit. The problem is, today it’s pants, tomorrow it will be ” all hats must be worn straight, no hats to the side”. Stupid as it looksthey have a right to wear their pants anyway they wish as long as it’s not Lude or obscene. If it were lude and obscene, the violators or that law would have been arrested already. We need to be careful of allowing laws to be initiated that set a precedent.

    I am glad there’s going to be a “pull-your-pants-up-law” signed. Apparently people want to be told to pull their pants up. It’s so disgusting to see someone with their pants below their butt with underwear showing.

    This saggy pants is not a black culture, its a prison culture and its nothing to be proud of. Some people are overweight and they don’t have a waist line to keep their pants up, but the deliberate saggy pants with a belt on and unable to walk or run properly is crazy.

    Wearing your clothes like that causes a negative stereotype. I don’t see anything in the Constitution regarding clothes. I would like t0 see an end to this saggy pants syndrome.

    Funny how people are willing to accept more government if it’s something they never have to deal with personally.

    Anyway.
    In 2008, a Palm Beach, Fla. judge ruled that a ban on sagging pants was unconstitutional. Exposing underwear is not the same as exposing buttocks and cannot be treated the same in the eyes of the law.”

Showing your sh.itty, stinking, skid-marked draws to the world is not being a man. Pull your f.ucking pants up and stop emasculating yourself. The white man is not going around putting a gun to your head and “making” you sag your pants. Some of the shyt we do is completely inexcusable!!!

    I’m sure they also are going to target plumbers. It’s another law or rule adults have created because the youth chooses not to act, dress or behave like them. There are people who posted about “The good old days” but this happens in every generation. Your parents thought you needed a hair cut and to get rid of that afro and their parents were upset about kids wearing conks and zoot suits and their parents were upset about young women called “flappers” who went into bars who drank and smoke with men.

    personally i think that saggin’ is trifling, and very unbecoming, i dont advocate the saggin’ of pants at all, but this is america, so to each his own as long as it dont impose upon me and my free will. being 41 and from the south, i do remember in my teens the east coast fellas saggin. (back in the mid 80′s) tho, not as low as they do now. i doubt if you can call it indecent exposure when there is nothing erroganeous being exposed. even if you go into corporate america, its the norm to see short skirts, cleavage,etc. i just think its going too far into infringing upon our own personal choices. next they’ll be saying we’ll have to button our shirts to the neck, tuck in our shirts, wear a undershirt, split-slick our hair to the side,etc. just another way for the municipalities to make revenues . to the young MEN i just say pull yo’ dayum britches up !!!…….lol

    @javon…..aint nobody forced to look at anything….i dont look at people wearing saggy pants nor am i forced to look at it so all the people who are having problems with saggy pants are the ones who are staring at peoples butts if you should ask me……stop staring at male booty and it wont bother you….you a grown azz adult cant you control yourself to not look at men booty?…..i have self control….

    as for kids, kids do look at everything cas they are always curious. the only thing you have to worry about kids are is what they the kids translate it as and if it realy mattered to them what they saw….if you raise your kids right you dont have to worry about them doing some crazy shyts…..

    all this behavior and mentality starts from homes that dont teach thier kids the proper way of wearing their pants….

    when erica badu walked down the street naked we all support her including me because we think she just getting a hassle for artistic freedom and because she black when other folks walk around naked and you aint hearing crap about it………not to mention erica badu can get it. if you know what what i mean…:)

    the only people i think that let stuff bother them is because they cant bring themselves to do the things they see other people do so they protest to get everyone to be like them or some attention……like some women will dog a sister out cas she hot and had the audacity of showing most of her booty in a picture come to find out some of the women hating this sister dont have any azz nor are they too good looking themselves…

    why dont yall go to the prisons and try to ban saggy pants since thats where it started due to the fact that they cant wear belts. not to mention it promotes homosexuality in prison that bleeds out on the streets into our society that leads to undecover brothers and the spread of deseases that kills out more blacks than other races?

    why? focusing yourself on another mans booty is not gonna stop a lot of the suffering we goin thru….

    tell me how many people that saggy pants killed?….bring me back some statistics that said saggy pants killed someone…..

    when it comes to morals it all starts at home…….run and tell that homeboy….if your goverment is profiting off morality then we as a people isnt doing something right at home….the gov should not be involved in a saggy pant when we suffering and need jobs.

    @ diggs

    shakes head. why do black men always have to make reference to homosexuality when they trying to prove their point? Its is more of a decency issue. its funny how black folks who believes they have no constitutional rights when it comes to voting and everything else, will enforce their rights when it comes to this issue.

    I love how you state that good parenting starts at home, yet you defend people sagging their pants in public. I hope youre not raising any kids.

    oh and youre asking how many people did people wearing some sagging pants killed? you really want to go there? lol.

    anybody that would want to side with a man’s right to show his azz crack may have homosexuality tendencies themselves.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/OneMethodMan/ OneMethodMan

    Please look at the history of sagging-why would young guys (not men). If a person wearing those pants that low had to run for his life-guess what his ass is gone! The mentality or lack thereof is a part of conditioning for prison, jail or just making t on the streets. I agree with the law.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Andre396/ Andre396

    who the fuk cares if wants to make it a law so be it im thinkinag about the new world order not some nicca wearing baggy or saggy pants its more pressing issues than this bullshyt

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/digg_it_up/ digg_it_up

    @javon…..am not siding with it…..am just wondering why people like you find time to worry about another mans azz thats all…………..

    any man making a big deal out of another mans pants saggin might have homosexual tendencies cas he probably cant fight the urge when he sees another man pants down and might blow his cover in public…..

    and how is a law passed to tax men on showing their azz is gonna teach your kids any moral values….the more you try to ban somwthing is the more people gonna try it…..i thought you knew that…..

    and where is your statistic that shows that a man pant sagged and killed him or someone else?….

    i dont stare at men booty so saggy pants dont bother me period…..

    the ones its bothering is the ones who dont have self control and cant stop staring at another mans booty….i think yall scared it might blow yall homosexual tendencies cover when you see another mans azz….so yall making a big ruckus about it….stop stearing at men booty and your problem will be solved…

    and teach your children at home so when they run into it in public it wont be a problem…..if you depending on the public to raise your child then javon i hope you aint a father or is raising a child…..cas you would be depending on the streets to raise them depending on what they see in the streets….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blaxxjax/ blaxxjax

    I agree with the law about sagging pants below your butt, it is un call for, I don’t want to be around no one goes looking like a fool wearing their pants down, I wouldn’t want them around me, now you hater talking all of that stuff about you can wear what you want and no one tell you how to dress, how would you like to see me walk around with my p***s hanging out around your mother or sister or even your daughter thinking that is cool.
    This should have been taken care long before now, enough is enough, I wouldn’t want to be out eating a nice dinner and here come in some guys showing their drawers, they should start off with a fine of $1,000.00 dollar for the first offense and double it everytime they get caught, we live in a place where we should dress accord.
    I have never worn my pants below my butt like that, it is disrespect to anyone, now some of you with the ghetto knowledge think it is cool, that is because you are not educated, we must tell our people to get a grip on theirself, we are the only race that have been taught to do the silly stuff for people to laugh at us and make fun, grown ass men should do that, and children should be taught by us to not do it either, that is like pissing in the streets in front of your mother, she wouldn’t want to see that and neighter would you, so quit trying to be a thug and show how ignorant you are and pull up the pants and be a gentleman, our race need to stop the foolish thing we do.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/javon707/ javon707

    @diggs

    lol. Well my story is a decency issue. where do people like me have the time to make this an issue? now you cant be the teapot painting the kettle black because last I checked, your ass is on here too.

    your homosexuality rhetoric makes no sense. If I dont want to see a 90 year old woman in a thong walking arounf in a thong does that make me secretly attracted to her?

    If im a hiring manager and someone like you applied for a job and wearing your pants around your azz, do you think I want you because I didnt hire you?

    you every try to get into an upscale night club with your pants hanging off your waist? if the door man turned you away did that mean he had homosexual tendencies towards you?

    I dont need to bring up statistics about saggy pants wearing thugs who killed people. I grew up in the bay area and know quite a few who did.

    now if you want to make this an issue about a man’s butt, fine. we all know what’s on your mind. as for me, its all about decency and empowerment in the black community.

    I think people should be free to wear what they want. The sagging pants is no better than these outof shape sistas wearing tight materials they know they can not fit..with all the goodies sticking out-thats a shame too !!! there should be a law against halfnaked women and big women in small thongs,lol !! I seen a dude not so long ago with his pants sagging so low, I could see the imprint of his groin and butt lol…it was not cute so i get why some ppl think it is indecent when its Overt in that sense!! Moderation is the key.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/manba1/ manba1

    I agree with this mayor on the edict, and as to some of the fools stating that it will amout to racial profiling it’s just pure idiotic nonsense unless you are one of those wearing your pants under your azzes. Not only is it unhip but out right indecent, nobody in their right mind want anyone going pass them with their pants so far down its damn near their ankles then having to look at their funky drawers. All any person has to do to evade this law is put their pants where there was “meant” to be worn. If most stop being copycats and become trail blazers, leaders instead of followers or role models instead of fools we would be setting better examples for the little ones followering behind !

    What does pants sagging and decency have to do with how you raise your child? No matter HOW you raise your child at home, we STILL have to see that disgusting display in the streets. I for one ALWAYS hear my daughters whispering…”Dang mom, he need to pull his pants up, thats nasty!”…Are they perverts because they saw it? Hell no, do they have good sense because they DON’T like it? Absolutely. It’s not about depending on the public to raise a kid. And my goodness! WHY are there so MANY BLACK MEN on this damn blog trying to defend another male with his pants hanging off his ass??? I mean do NONE of you not ever want to see your own people with some decency?? Just like A LOT of topics, just because they have a right to do it, doesn’t make it the thing to do.

    Well, I’m personally against this. I may not agree with guys who choose to sag their pants, but it is their decision and the law should never be able to tell you what you can and cannot wear. That is too much power.

    Seriously now, to equate sagging your pants to masturbation, urination, and nudity in public? You have got to be kidding me.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Pfunk_legacy04/ Pfunk_legacy04

    I agree that the saggy jeans is tacky & wack but fining kids i don’t think will solve the problem maybe fining the parents will but if thats the case why not fine fat people for wearing fitting clothing & them having their meat & fat hanging all out. thats an eyesore too

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bham205boi/ bham205boi

    Ms. Cali i will restate that i do not dress like that and do i want to see it, no, but i have read a lot of your statement on many subjects and how would you feel if someone told you how you can dress in the streets. not in someone’s house or job, club, etc. even though some may not aprrove of something you do or wear, do you want to give white folk or the gov’t more authority over what you wear. once they see a law like this passed it wont be the end. tommorow they will tell you that all women have to be completely covered from head to toe and all men have to be in suits at all times in public. what’s to stop them once a precedence has been established. someone will always disagree with something you do so should they have that much control to stop you from doing what you do. i dont like weave, makeup, loud mouth females, fat folks in tight clothes but should i be able to control them.
    i dont too much care for white folks but talking to them, they dont even want a law like this, and i agree. no matter what you do you will be catagorized and labeled. do all black people make you look back? i think not. i mean folks are already trying to control other aspects of your life why let them have another. and believe me im not trying to attack you, im just trying to ask you a simple question.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Pfunk_legacy04/ Pfunk_legacy04

    furthermore if your a man in your late 20′s & 30′s sagging your pants YOU ARE A DUMBASS FOOL!! grow up & move on that style died in the 90′s & even then they didn’t take it to the extreme the way they do now. A man at that age looks like a a total FOOL, thats not hip hop & it sure isn’t a style just shows you still donot know how to dress yourselves & if there any grown ass men that have a problem with this than your really dumber than i thought & i’m not apologizing.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    bham205boi, I do indeed ‘get’ what you’re saying, although I feel it is a bit ‘far fetched’ in thinking. I don’t think the gov’t will resort to the extreme of requiring suits and slacks on everyone anytime soon…

    Once again, this is about decency. I think the same holds true for females as well. It disgusts me when I see females with their underwear showing, ass cracks out, ‘see through’ blouses on etc, walking around in public. I mean is it that important to get attention using something other than your brain? See that’s what I was taught growing up. Not all attention is ‘good’ attention and saggin is not good attention.

    I see many folks on here see this as a way for the ‘white man’ to hold us back or change who we are etc…So not true. My question to you is, WHY would any black person want to hold onto such an ugly stereotype that has been tagged to US?? If blacks don’t have anything better to ‘fight’ for then damn…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PrestonJW1/ PrestonJW1

    Take the word saggin and reverse it.. what do you have?

    Saggin equates to (n.i.g.g.a.s). What does that say to public psyche at-large?

    Add 5 days in lock-up to the offense and see if you don’t get their attention.

    It might sound extreme but this is really getting out of hand.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Esoteric_Dredz/ Esoteric_Dredz

    This “style” is flat out ignorant and indecent…Any “freedom” that someone claims to have to walk around with their underwear showing is more than overcome by the right of the public to not be exposed to that. I mean we have other laws that limit how much of the body can be publicly exposes based upon public decency, so this ordinance is valid IMO….

    Seriously though, I do get a bit annoyed when the government gets involved in small matters like this when the attention and resources could be better spent elsewhere…But trust me, I am not going to lost sleep because someone wasn’t raised with the good common sense to buy a got damn belt for their pants.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MisterUnderstood425/ MisterUnderstood425

    This look has never been a good one and the origins of this “style” have developed in prison which has quite a dominance on homosexual acts and this “style” implicates that as well. There was another article with this topic as well and it was stated that this particular thought process needs to come to a halt. It’s indecent and overall ignorant.

    Moving along… as far as laws enforcing this statute… I’m not quite convinced that is the answer simply because we already know how police like to stereotype and abuse their privileges on the minority population so to give them another reason or another way to excuse their abuse… I don’t see it.

    Sad state of affairs society has reached when it comes to this. The govt actually passing a law forcing one to pull their pants up and wear them appropriately.

    For those of you trying to shift the blame eg, saying other ethnic groups wear their pants down too; I’d invite to you look at the last census for this town. 52% black and 45% white. This law is clearly being aimed at black youths.

    Blacks need to stop this idiotic behavior immediately. You wear your pants like the photo shown above you are saying one thing to the rest of us: I AM A TOTAL FAILURE IN LIFE, AND SO ARE MY PARENTS.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrWantSomeNewBooty/ MrWantSomeNewBooty

    Although I don’t totally approve of the “sagging look” and I’m definitley too old to do it, I don’t really have a problem with the young brothers doing it. Every generation likes to express themselves especially in clothing styles and how they wear their clothes. I think this is another attempt by the establishment to try to infringe of the rights of an individuals’ freedom of expression. What’s next fining people for too many piercings or tattoos? We don’t always have to like something to accept something as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone or cause undue harm to someone. I think this law is silly and possibly unconstitutional.

The worst part about the commentary on this blog is the people who seem to make excuses for this degrading character that has found its origin where??…..WITH US!….Don’t we fight enough with negative stereotypes??!!…So f.ucking stupid and self-degrading. The system of racism-white supremacy is not enough, to where we have to enforce stereotypes against ourselves (as well as the stereotypes that are placed on us by society!)…And, dat’s right, I’ll say it again: Real men wear their pants like real men are supposed to. Only fags, sissies, including those with subconscious homosexual tendencies and no self-knowledge, are the ones who sag. Read what “My people perish for lack of knowledge”….We clearly need some mental readjustments as to what “real” men are within the Black race. Manufacturing excuses and cursing out “sane” people ain’t going to make it right!…God, what is happening to some of us?!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bham205boi/ bham205boi

    @Cali,i dont think its far fetched and i dont believe the white man is always trying to hold us back. we do that to each other enough. if the law gets pasted i won’t be hurt either way but who decides where the waist is. some people say up to your belly button. my issue with the comments folks are posting is everybody claim who is and is not gay. who and who has not been to prison. who is ignorant or not. folks dont want people to have control over their lives but want to control others.
    if you dont think if this passes that eventually they will turn to something else, look at cigarettes. i dont smoke but they taxes cigarettes more now because some people dont agree with them. then they said ok we got them now lets try to tax sodas and beer. true story.
    and to the one who dont agree with me and want to claim this and that about people. i have my own house, paid for, had a full ACADEMIC scholarship to college when i graduated. in college now. pay my bills, take care of my child. and was doing all this even when i was sagging. it wasn’t because i was forced or because someone kept telling me to pull my pants up that i did it. you can force someone to do something but you haven’t changed their mentality. that’s how you get them to pull up their pants, help change their mentality

    ok, here we go, another issue, in which we influence the young Wiggers to do…. then when the government does something to make our children look like decent human beings, that look like they have good sense. Pre-post note, not only our youth but our old men, who trying to look young. We basically blame this as being racist. This is not being racist, it is not targetting black youth. This one is at yourdaddy’s statistics, 52% black 45%white. Out of that 45% white, there are probaby 20% of them teens or young adults, out of that 20% they have the case of Vanilla Ice, thinking they are from the hood…… of those 20% gaurateed there are 18% of them whom where saggy pants, with baseball hats with the tag on them, with wife beaters,…… See all I’m trying to say is just because we made it up, or it is generally our “thing” dont mean we are the only race that does it….

    While we’re at it, let’s outlaw spandex, sheer, lace, netted or any article of white clothing that shows thru to what’s underneath. Matter fact… bright ass colors offend me and confuses drunk people, SO DOWN WITH DIVERSITY AND EVERYONE WEAR ONLY SOLID COLORS!

    goodness4sho… How???

    Please explain to me why wearing your clothes the way you want denotes being unintelligent?

    I sag and I’ve read over 200 books since 2,000. Please by all means tell me what kind of dumbass I am.

    @Goodness4sho

    The way a person dress has no effect on their mentality. If a person is ignorant if their saggin, they will still be ignorant with their pants up.

    I guess folks forgot how to be their own individual person. Hell I don’t like skinny jeans so I don’t wear them but if another person do, that’s their business. The way another person dress has no effect on my life, I done seen way worst in my life than saggin pants.

    Well good…I hope they go up on the fines and I hope that other cities pick this up and do the same thing. The nasty booty ass niggas that do that just grosses me out. I asked a lil’ ignorant nigglet the other day. He was about 15 or 16. I asked…”Why do you where your pants like that”? and he was like, “I feel like, if I work and buy my own clothes, than nobody should tell me how to where my clothes. My own mama don’t tell me what to do.” And I was like, “I understand that, but nobody seems to be able to give me an answer when I ask them that.” And then he was like, “Oh, well it’s just a style”. And I left it like that bcuz obviously he was a lil’ ignorant bastard.

    And everytime I ask grown ass men why they do it and they can never give me an answer. I mean, the lil’ young ignorant one was able to give me some type of explanation which is typical for a child his age. But what about the older nigglets? What’s their excuse? Why would a grown ass man that want to be treated with respect and as equal to anybody else walk around with his dookie stained drawers showing and the pants too big and down below their stankin ass cheeks? Why? Do you think you deserve respect for some shyt like that? Do you deserve to be takedn seriously like that? It just spells dookie chute fagggg to me. And this is part of the reason why white folks make a mockery of black folks. It really is a crying shame!!

Why would a man want to advertise his ass to other men & these dumb ass broads need to stop dealing with guys dressing like that. I wish 1 of these niggas would come to my door trying to see my daughter dressed like that!

    i personally think “sagging” looks rediculous, it sounds rediculous and it shows your level of intelligence. however, banning it is going to cause ALOT of problems, and I know there will be tons of police harrassment because of this.
    im not completely disagreeing with the bill, but how bout the mayor sign a bill focusing on the drug dealers there? or how about the pimps who are exploiting children, yes children in georgia? how bout a bil helping the poor?

    Well I’m all for the no sagging and baggy clothing policy. I’m sick of young black males walking around looking like jail birds because prison is where sagging began since prisoners are not allowed to wear belts. Sagging is not cute so why not enhance your appearence by pulling your pants up and wearing a freaking belt for crying outloud? I’m sick of looking a boys walking down the street showing their dirty drawls, I don’t want to see your boxers fool! And another thing they need to ban is women walking around revealing their thongs. I don’t want to see no thong strings rising above your hip huggers, that is not cute and God forbid a woman is at work or at church with her thong showing.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/6ft180nATL/ 6ft180nATL

    I’ll be glad when they pass that ordinance in my town.Here the Blacks don’t hold a monopoly on this fad,the white do it also.This whole thing started from the prisons where they take their belts and shoestrings.Are they practicing with their wardrobe so they’ll be prepared upon arrival. To me it looks horrible as do those long “T” shirts denoting what gang they belong to.What’s with the youth of today? Another thing,wearing the caps backwards. I heard one of my favorite teachers disciplining a student and explaining “We’re not going back to where we came from so wear that cap appropriately”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/javon707/ javon707

    has anyone noticed that the opponents of the ordinance are “men”? the women are in favor of men pulling up their pants. why would a man want to continue to sag if women find it repulsive? hmmmm…..

    Lemme get this straight….

    1.) You go to the beach and people are walking around naked with butt cracks showing, and thongs tucked up their privates.

    2.) You get on the bus in Chicago and you see people with tattoos all over their body

    3.) You get off the bus and you see the KKK holding rallies downtown talking about kill all black people

    But you get mad at a poor 16 yr old black kid going about his business for showing his drawers…..

    I smell a racist Tea party member and a republican behind this law…..and you need to punch yourself in the face for agreeing with this idiot mayor…

    @javon you are so right…women are definitely against this while mean are all for it which is killing me right now…

    What is women wearing jeans would wear their jeans just half way up so you can see their underwear…is that cool?? for those who believe that sagging your pants is a way to express yourself than you are an IDIOT and need to find some other way of expressing yourself that doesn’t involve me knowing if you were boxers or briefs….

    @goodness4sho, Saggin doesn’t denote ignorance at all. It says indecency depending upon how low of a sag we are talking about. Sorry, but the men in this forum fighting for the right to sag, you can’t tell me the above picture doesn’t look ridiculous! And chicago_he is also correct in his post to an extent. The bikini’s and thongs etc at the beach is in fact attire for the beach. A gang of tats is disgusting, thongs/g-strings showing is disgusting and good god let’s not forget the people that wear extremely tight clothing with stomachs and rolls hangin over the front and sides! WE DON’T WANT TO SEE ANY OF IT!

    All I know is, I’m just glad that Martin Luther King Jr. is not here today to see our young (and obviously old” Stan_Vinyl”) men wearing their pants below their butts showing their underwear, holding their pants up with their hands instead of wearing a belt, and can barely walk down the road. He is probably turning in his grave. After all he’s done for us, fighting for equality, for freedom, to stop racism. I am positive that if all these so called saggers today went through what the people had to go through back when MLK was here to get the freedom that we have today, They would definitely wear their clothes respectfully in public. People were beat, hung, burnt alive, dragged behind trucks for us……………..FOR US!!!!!!!!!! And this is how we repay those people. I’m sorry Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I am so embarrassed that our people don’t respect what you did for us enough to act like intelligent young and old men , and cover there ass’es! Stan_Vinyl says he can sag because he’s read over 200 books, well obviously they wern’t the right ones. Go back a little further to the 1960′s. Read 200 books about what our people went through so that you would be a role model and not a contributer to ass showing. I’m just curious to know who hired you, my bet is with you sagging like you do……………..NO ONE! WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP! Start showing America the real us!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/javon707/ javon707

    @ califemme

    well there are a few other men in here who are against sagging as well, but you know what kills me? black men will give you every other excuse not to participate in politics, voting, taking back our communities etc because they say “why bother, the system is set up against us” rhetoric, but all the sudden, when someone tells them to pull their pants up they want to invoke their first amendment rights and stand up and fight the power.

    go ahead black men, dont fight for your communities, dont fight for an education, dont fight to restore and lead your communities, but by all mean necessary, fight for the right to sag your pants.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BigBlackRod/ BigBlackRod

    DISCLAIMER: I am a fifty-year-old male, who doesn’t wear his pants on his hips, and don’t like the style itself. But, when the government can criminalize our young men simply for a clothing choice, (General Ackbar voice): IT’S A TRAP! Go back to the forties, when they criminalized anyone wearing “zootsuits;” the fifties, when they didn’t like Black guys with sharkskin suits. The ’60′s, when black leather would bring down the wrath of “The Man;” and the Seventies, when we wore dashikis, and Whitey didn’t like that. In each of these eras, conservative (older) Black folks said the SAME thing: “If you wear that, you MUST be a thug!” Nothing can be further from the truth, but even if it was, who do y’all think is gonna be prosecuted most under this law? Y’all better wake up…PEACE.

    @ o_omissz

    there is a big difference. swimsuits and beach attire is made for the beach therefore its appropriate to wear that on the beach. now just plain saggin your pants to the point where your boxers or briefs are showing is just plain tacky. underwear, boxers, or briefs arent meant to be shown in public. It becomes anyone’s business when they are forced to look at indecency. if youre gonna sag, wear a long shirt over it so that it wont expose your underswear.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Stan_Vinyl/ Stan_Vinyl

    ski_2008, let me tell you now… YOU’RE NOT READY FOR ME ON ANY FRONT, SO FALL BACK BEFORE YOU HURT YOURSELF!

    MLK fought for the right for us to be free, let’s keep that str8… fighting for equality runs alongside with “wearing your clothes how you please.

    Secondly to EVERYONE IN THIS PIECE, Not one of you, NOT ONE has ever seen how I wear my pants. I’ve been doing this for quite sometime and I’ve mastered my attire, most people wouldn’t even know I was saggin unless I showed or told them!

    Lastly ski_2008, it would be in your best interest to refrain from judging me or what you “assume” I’ve read to this point. Look up “Schwaller De Lubicz” Or Renee Schwaller, then tell me if my choice of reading material is above or below par.

    And reading over 200 books doesn’t give me the right to sag my pants, being born a free American does.

    I don’t give a phucc who likes it or who doesn’t… they’re my pants and I’ll wear them as I see fit.

    those arent women. those are what we call young females. they dont even know how to wipe their coochie right. a real, grown azz, woman I know dont want no man that cant wear his pants right.

    yeah you go with your freedom of speech to sag your pants, its just too bad black “boys” will fight and stand up for bullshyt.

    Since “saggin” originated in prison as an invitation to homosexuals, dont get mad if I call you a fag.

Now you say a person wouldn’t even know you are saggin unless you told them or made it visual. Then fine. And please don’t tell me that you feel like saggin is a part of ‘who’ you are….

    Question: Would you no longer be the same exact intelligent, educated, aware, conscious, FINE black man if you didn’t sag??? Let us not allow the clothing to help determine who we are.

    I know for a fact saggin did not originate in prison (on some real life Forrest Gump shyt, i was there)… ya’ll been watchin them damn movies again. Prisons DO NOT allow you to alter your uniform. You might wanna see how far back that rule runs!

    Its not about sagging you have to see past that. Look at how easily they take rights away from people and so many people don’t understand the principle of why passing a law against this is wrong until they come to take a right that you yourself value. Then no one will hear your protest because it is hypocritical to be for taking these rights away yet against taking the rights you value away.
    For example maybe some people find women who wear any type of fake hear offensive….so now lets pass a law against weave and wigs and fine women who choose to do so.
    Guess what else is offensive to a lot of people, abortion….so now lets pass a law making it illegal to have an abortion.
    If you are for passing a law against sagging how can you be against a law against abortion without being a hypocrite?
    BTW I am against sagging but it still doesn’t mean we should outlaw it because I don’t like it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/6ft180nATL/ 6ft180nATL

    Something else that used to be offensive to a lot of white people was black people using the same water fountain as them…or sitting in the front of the bus with them.
    Lets go ahead and pass a law…….its crazy how people don’t even understand the dangers of passing laws to take people’s rights away and why so many people who may be against the thing the law is meant to stop would fight to stop the law from being passed itself.

    winter wearing two pants or shorts to keep warm they sure ain’t gonna fit on my waist one of them definitely gonna hang below my waist till its a habit that get comfortable even for summer,so new york specially street nigga and the homeless gotta get them skii pants training on cause some just don’t understand.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Travel_Deals/ Travel_Deals

    I don’t believe passing a law is the answer to this because it will cause so many other problems between the youth and the police but something has to be done to change the mindset of people who see nothing wrong with that look. When i see someone dressed like that i think that they are ignorant with no direction in life. No matter how many books a person has read. I saw a boy in the store that had to bend down to reach his pockets. And you wonder why white people joke our race soo much. JMHO.

    And to comment @ stan .. you’ve been sagging since 85? If my math is right that’s 25 years .. WOW! I guess at your class reunions people say you haven’t changed one bit. But let’s say you were out and about sagging and president obama was walking through your town talking to people … what would his 1st impression be of you? Do you think he would stop to talk with you and give you the opportunity to discuss the over 200 books you have read since 2000?

    To debate the relevance of allowing boys to wear clothes like that because they can, IMHO, makes no sense at all. There is no social function, that i know of, where jeans hanging at the thighs with a shirt not long enough to cover the boxers is the acceptable dress code.

    TV and music are a big influence in society so I guess if lil wayne can do it so can the boys out there walking around but i bet lill wayne isn’t walking around in prison with his pants hanging down.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Melolvr69/ Melolvr69

    What is sad is people need to be told to not look trifling.

    Yes they should have the right to look that way and while government should not pass a law forcing people to have better grooming standards, the private sector, businesses should have the right to expect you to dress appropriately at work.

    Abortion is touchy with me because I read how it was used in a way to purge us from society.

    Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood:
    In 1930, Sanger opened a family planning clinic in Harlem

    She advocated coercion to prevent the “undeniably feeble-minded” from procreating;

    “The undeniably feeble-minded should, indeed, not only be discouraged but prevented from propagating their kind.”[28]

    Her first pamphlet read:

    It is a vicious cycle; ignorance breeds poverty and poverty breeds ignorance. There is only one cure for both, and that is to stop breeding these things. Stop bringing to birth children whose inheritance cannot be one of health or intelligence. Stop bringing into the world children whose parents cannot provide for them. Herein lies the key of civilization.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Travel_Deals/ Travel_Deals

    @stan.. i read some of your other posts and i can understand wanting to defend a right to dress but do you really want the youth and i guess some people over the age of 25 to dress like that? And I’m glad you have mastered “sagging” so now you can be the sensei and teach kids how do it right because I’m embarrassed when i see someone dressed like that and they should be embarrassed also.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Diamondcut101/ Diamondcut101

    Thank goodness someone listened!! People are saying how it is a black or white issue. No!! It is a decency issue. If we can’t teach our young black men how to look decent in society then what are we doing? I am so sick of looking at their boxers or drawers. Many, many black people are tired of looking at them. It is sad that as a teacher I have to tell boys to pull their pants up. It used to be embarassing to be showing your drawers. Enough is enough. It is sad that it takes a law to teach them how to dress. We also have a right and an obligation to teach our young men how to look decent!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Pikachu12/ Pikachu12

    Though I’m kinda ify on the law being passed, but its about time something be done. This sagging getting ridiculous and its tacky and like several of the posters I’m getting tired of seeing drawers young men wadddling around like penguins with no sense. Telling these young men to “pull up your damn pants and have some dignity about yourself” ISNT WORKING and for most teaching dont work either. It goes in one ear and out the other They rather be like their friends or those thug rappers they see. And pointing out how stupid they look doesnt work either. Nowadays they just laugh at you and tell you “you trippin”, “nerd” or any other names. So harsher measures must sometimes be taken. It may not be right or fair but when positive incentives teaching and showing fail to change behavior, then negative concequences like fines and charges must be enforced.

    javon707, Overstood & all good!

    Travel_Deals WTF is so hard to understand about FREEDOM TO CHOOSE??? Why is it just because so many of you don’t like it that it makes it fair to violate some civil liberties?

    I think whitemen with long stringy hair and big ass beards all look like pedophiles, but they can rock that shyt everyday if they want and no one is pulling them over diggin thru their pockets for kiddy porn!

    Yes 25 years of people talking to me before they have a chance to judge my attire, which by the way never consisted of an oversized t-shirt.

    My ass doesn’t hang out nor have my draws ever shown… I simply don’t like people in my business like that.

    Lastly, If anyone I approach/talk to judges me on my attire before they have the opportunity to see who it is that I am consciously, not only do they miss a chance to know a really down to Earth type individual…. but I’m sure they’ve missed ample opportunity in their life.

    Judging people based on clothing is some Tea Party type thinking. Besides, in this f*cked up world you never know who you might need, thus reserve judgement for the persons actions not attire.

    That’s no different than judging based on skin tone.

    I mean, the root is clear! This law was in fact passed JUST to nit pick at black males and we all know this! If it was really ONLY about decency, then the law would have included A LOT of other public travesties we see day in and day out. Shyt! Add skinny jeans to the damn list if you ask me.

    They can pass the bill all they want to. I highly doubt it if this is going to be a law that will be enforced. They did the same thing with you being caught texting while driving and so far in GA I have seen many that still do it. You know some that are down with the freedom to speak is going to say the same thing as to what a person can wear. Until the clowns realize that the sagging jeans and the skinny jeans is not what they think it is this problem is going to continue and I strongly feel it is going to continue to be a problem for a very long time

    I concur!!

    This Law would be about taking away “civil liberties”.

    As much as I abhor sagging pants……it is the right of every individual to express themselves as they see fit. If they want to be the laughing stock of the community that’s their problem. When we start giving the authorities permission to make up laws for something one or two of us don’t agree with……..it sets the precedent for other laws to be put in place……for example, maybe banning blonde weaves or dreadlocks.

    The citizenry naturally through “group think” will let anyone doing something culturally unacceptable know if they agree with it or not…..as it should be; the power is and should be with the people, not the authorities.

    If women rejected men who wore sagging pants, believe me these men would get the message.

    This is a phase these youngsters are going through, and like all preceding generations who had their moments; they grow out of it.

    Many decades from now the sagging pants era will be but a memory.

    How long have black men been telling certain black women that they do not like hair weaves or processed hair; but they are still not budging from their stance. Are the men who disapprove of this to now petition the authorities to come up with some kind of Law banning hair-weaves etc?!?

    No….that wouldn’t be right.

    we could debate forever about people’s right to look like a buffoon. I remember the saggin style became a trend in my area in 1991. 19 years later, I dont see it subsiding. where do you draw the line? what about other people’s right not to see pookie’s drawls? to me there is a difference between wearing baggy pants and just plain outright looking tacky. the guy depicted in the photo is a public embarrassment.

    “If women rejected men who wore sagging pants, believe me these men would get the message.”

    I 100% co sign with you on this. Ive seen women reject men who approached them with saggin pants.

    It’s a shame that it takes a law to make people want to look like something respectful. It’s not a black or white issue- I’m black as hell and I’m deeply offended by these dudes with their pants around their knees! The reason that they are called “undergarments” is because they belong “under” the clothes! It is a matter of indecent exposure, a woman would be arrested or fined for the same charge if she was just walking around with her thong out and her skirt around her knees (trust me I’ve seen them arrested for indecent exposure many times). But the underlying tragedy is that our young men basically fight harder to be stereotyped than they do the prove sterotypes wrong. Like it or not, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck- it’s a duck! Something that I hope a lot of these guys will realize is that NOBODY is walking down Wall St. or Pennsylvania Ave with their pants around their knees. Sometimes rebellion is unnecessary, and no I don’t think that little kids should have to see grown men walking down the street in their draws- that’s what your bedroom is for! We have to do better, and it begins with talking accountability and acknowledging that sometimes good ol’ fashioned common sense doesn’t register so sometimes the law has to intervene.

    The way you present yourself to others will be the way they treat you. In order to get respect, you need to dress respectable. What person is going to look at you and hear exactly what you are saying while looking to see if you are about to loose your pants. I love it when men wear their clothes the right way. Its o.k if it is baggy. Nobody with a high school diploma should be sagging their pants anyways. Kid life is over and time to grow up.

    @javon707

    This comment by “neworleanstelly” is correct:

    “it’s a shame that it takes a law to make people want to look like something respectful”

    Why should a governing body need to tell our youngsters how to dress; shouldn’t that be the job of the parents, or parent whatever the case may be??

    Women are the nurturers and the father is (supposed to be) there to protect. Without a father in the home, who are the positive role models for these young men going to be?? A lot of their role models are “so called” celebrities, or anything that seems decadent.

    The media is like God to some people; they believe or revere anything it spits out. And the media can only be revered if the parents teach the child to revere it.

    Teenagers throughout history generally go against order or authority, and they follow their immediate culture/stimuli; which in this case is music culture or media dictates. The parents/parent have to be involved with their children’s lives and let them know who the real authority is.

    The standards of decency, morals, ethics or etiquette in society has decayed to an all time low; so anything goes. To keep a child on the straight and narrow is nigh on impossible in today’s age, due to again, media dictates and entertainment/entertainers……which children have been conditioned to worship.

    As mentioned before, if women used their power and rejected these males, their egos would be crushed; they wouldn’t consider it cool to dress that way anymore.

    Don’t forget heterosexual males subconsciously try to impress women and vice versa…..because “the laws of attraction” exist in nature for procreation.
    A male is like a lapdog to a woman when he wants to procreate…..he will do anything she wants.

    Women have more power than they realise….but a lot of them have lost that knowledge!!

    People seem to forget that there used to be a time when it was considered bad if a woman wore pants instead of skirts. I think the majority of the people supporting this law are being blinded by their emotions rather than using logic.

    The government should NOT be able to tell you how you can and cannot wear your clothes, period.

    Let me start by saying I’m black and hate hate hate saggy pant.. I think it is stupid and totally ignorant! BUT BUT BUT !!!!!

    There has been unarmed blacks shot in the back while handcuffed by a white cop! There has been innocent unarmed 7 year old burn by a flash bomb and then shot in the neck DEAD! By a white Detroit cop! Americans have witness four white LAPD cops beat one black man like a he was less then human. Caught on camera!

    In Philly 15 white cop kick stomp and spit on four black men. Later turn out to be the wrong black men! The beating caught on camera! Not one politician has written a law to prevent stop or address. The shooting of unarmed Americans or raid that kill innocent citizen. A white cop taser a white 72 year old senior citizen. For not signing a ticket!

    BUT BUT BUT never fear! We have politician that will introduce and pass a law against saggy pant! Which in reality is more dead black people BY COPS! Which will be more blacks ticketed more imprison….MORE!!!!!

    And for the people that will say…….SO just pull up your pants……F$%K you!

    The Law Against Saggy Pants Is Full Of Bull/S**t ……… its A Form of Expression An attitude Caucasian & African Americans Do it …but that’s what the lame assssss lawww fails to realize …Its Not “Indecent exposure” at all…. Indecent Exposure Is exposing the genital areas and female breasts, and if that’s the case then …females showing cleavage should be a law as well im not saying sagging is a good thing but damn CALM that s**t down it’s not that serious

    Ok, go into Burger King, find the young black man with his pants down to his A double S hole…now tell the manager that you want this young man to put your Double Whopper with Cheese, together for you as you watch.

    The manager tells the young man to do it…as he walks the 10 steps to the counter top, you take notice that he has to use both hands to pull up his pants…five times before he gets there. You also take notice that the fly of his boxer shorts opens each time he pulls up his pants, exposing his pubic hair.

    Now that your Double Whopper with Cheese is finished and the young man is putting it along with your fries into a bag, he once again has to pull up his pants past the open boxer shorts front. Next, as he brings it to the counter top and you, he once again has to pull up his pants…

    Oh, how nice to sit down and eat your Double Whopper with Cheese…but whats this crawling across your Double Whopper with Cheese Bun? And look, it’s dragging a public hair! Could it be, yes it is, a crab…

    But that’s ok, poor disruptive miss-understood youth… haven’t got enough self discipline to pull up there pants, or take a bath after they have sex with the lady on the street corner who just turned 6 tricks during the hour before!
