    How do you figure that Black youth face no discrimination. The simple fact of the matter is not whether one has faced discrimination or not. The fact that this country was built on the backs of Africans for over 280 years without cost of labor is enough to warrant reparation. Africans in america are the only group to have suffered at the hands of white Americans and not be financially compensated. The Indians, Japanese, Jewish, ect.... Have all been acknowledged and paid. Where's ours? But I feel that we will never get reparations, because white americans have a hard time admitting wrong doing when it comes to slavery. As long as they have a 'Get over it' mentality, then we'll continue to get the short end.

    There is definitly no racial motivation behind it. Just like bell bottoms, afros, ty dye shirts, hot pants, or any other popular fashion of the moment. It's simply a current fashion. More and more kids of color and white kids for that matter are wearing there clothing extra baggy. As a young black male, I find it to be rather retarded, but I'm sure anyone who's older has a different view of what's cool and acceptable. But to lay the racial issue to rest, it's simply a fashion statement.
