    I’m a white kid who grew up in the middle of the worst ghetto in Milwaukee. After sixth grade, I was forced to go to the suburbs with a bunch of rich, spoiled, white kids (not all, mind you, but more than at my old school). I find it occasionally useful to say where I’m coming from when trying to convince other white people that I have some clout when talking about matters of race, poverty, classism, capitalism, etc.

    This trend was started in California’s black communities. In prison, belts aren’t allowed, so sometimes their pants were baggie. Some prisoners chose to continue that style to show that they’ve been in prison. This style was then taken to the music industry through hip-hop and rap, and white kids in the suburbs copied it to show how bad they are.
