Sagging baggies and other unmentionables
Now, females seem to enjoy exposing their bras
This is ridiculous. Can it be said any louder? I do not want to see people’s underwear! Especially while they are wearing them.
Yes, I’m talking about young males and their sagging pants. The practice is rude, disrespectful and downright disgusting for me and others who are forcibly subjected to this sight in public. It should be labeled as indecent exposure if it’s not already, and perpetrators should be ticketed.
And let’s look at a common-sense issue. Many of the young men must walk holding up the sagging pants. Running? that’s a joke. In fact, one day a young man walking across the street lost his sagging baggies. Now that was funny.
And can we talk about how they have to walk to keep those pants up? OK, let’s not.
If all this is not enough, I recently noticed that females seemed to have created the feminine equivalent to male sagging—exposing much of their bras for public viewing.
On one shocking occasion, I even saw a young woman get on public transportation with one entire bra-covered boob exposed by a very slouchy shirt. I initially thought she did not realize how low her collar dipped but later realized it was apparently deliberate.
And then there are those young women who wear tank tops, spaghetti strap tops or back-outs who seem wedded like cement the idea of also wearing a full bra.
Now, I thought the idea with these tops was to free yourself from the hellish constriction of a bra.
I know that’s what I would do were I able.
But, nooooo! Young women today . . . a few older ones as well . . . just slap on the bra and let it all hang out—the female equivalent to sagging. Ugh.
All this madness needs to stop. It’s time to go backward a little bit and once more cover up your unmentionables in public.
When I was in high school, an old man told me, “The way out of trouble is never as easy as the way in.”
My kids don’t believe that Tupac Shakur wasn’t always a thug.
They’ve been blindsided by his immortalization on T-shirts, documentaries, handbags and compilations. They see a one-sided Tupac, which mass commercialism has fed them over the past 15 years, but for many of us, we know there was a multifaceted genius beneath the tattoos and head rags.
In many ways, I grew up a child of Tupac.
Bloggers around the world are setting new standards for the young, innovative American dream.
While many young people are still stuck to cable television and trying to figure out exactly how they’re going to 'Keep Up with the Kardashians,' others have found a new source of lifestyle influencers like the new extremely rich and famous New York sweetheart Vashtie Kola.
Rihanna shot a man to death in her music video ….
So what?
The television industry was recently up in arms over Rihanna’s racy promo for “Man Down,” saying that the opening scene where she murders a man in the center of town is unwarranted and inappropriate for network television.
In the video, shots of life in an underdeveloped and impoverished Third World are cut with others featuring celebratory African and Caribbean dancing by young Black girls.
Dear Ms. Norwood:
I recently read your article entitled “A Black Woman’s Dating Dilemma.” When I first read it, I said ‘here we go again. Another bashing of the Black male.’ Then I said forgive them (referring to LaShaun Williams) they know not what they are saying.
Every since the White man came to America and took all the land from the Indians and enslaved Blacks, he has put himself on a pedestal and declared himself superior. Here we are centuries later still putting him on pedestal and making him superior.
