I’ve never liked the ‘sagging’ trend. It’s linked to the negativity in most of today’s hip hop. The trend has been around since I was in high school. I knew brothas who got caught up cause their peers dictated every decision they made. I was criticized many times because I wouldn’t play along, but I remain strong. I’m still seeing this trend everyday in college (I would have thought most would have matured by now). It saddens me to see brothas degrading themselves like this. All I’m saying is- just because it’s cool for just about everybody else, doesn’t make it right.

I am not young, but I wear a suit and tie for work and get admiring looks from black women who don’t know me, and dress ‘sloppy’ and very unfashionably when away from work, when I get ignored by black women who don’t know me. Would you recognize me as the same person? Would you even look? Give young black men a break. Unless you are involved in their lives, you won’t see them when they dress smartly. We are already judged for one aspect of our appearance: our skin color. So many of the people who have oppressed us and ripped us off have worn suits and ties, whose game are we playing? When will we be judged on the content of our character?
