Look, I'm gonna get straight to it. It upsets me when I see the younger black men, with their pants pulled down. I 've tried to figure and understand all point of views, but yet, do I get a clear meaning. But, I did get this.
Believe it or now, but this weird-way of dressing, was said to have strated inside prisons. This way of dressing was once said to be the "prison-b*tch" statement. For those who don't know, please allow me to fill you in. Once upon a time, when the men were being brutally raped inside the prisons, they were forced to wear their pants at this position all day, inside the jails and prisons. They had to presume their positions. If they were caught not doing this, brutally attacks, killings and beatings arose. Because they were the "PRISON-B*TCHES".
Secondly, it was said to be the ''2000'' fashion look for the younger generation. Okay, maybe so, but I'm totally against this ungodly way of dressing. Third, it was said that this is the thug-out, gansterleng thang. Okay, maybe so, but again, I'm against this bad dress code. There's nothing appealing about that look.
Now, sisters, I talking straight to you--This must stop. This is not cute. This is an insult to all of us. Yes, that right, an insult to all of us. Because we are the parents to this kids. Don't you know, that if they talk about our kids, then image what they say about us--the parents? Just giving you something to think about.
Another note to leave you with...And what is this long white teeshirt thing about? What, do our kids actually walk around in their nightie shirts, awaiting nap time? They guys look like clowns. What a sad thing for me to say---but hey, people are talking. And they get mad. Now, I'm talking, and how, I pray that these young men get it together. Pull their pants up and wear a belt. Bring the real man look back..Please, Lord, please! Hear my words. Shine the light on them Lord, theyall have lost their way. Guide them back to reality.
