That origin seems to be in question.

That is the God’s honest truth, it looks stupid no matter what race, color, religion or creed.
>I’ve heard it originated with poorly-fitting prison uniforms, FWIW.<
Nope, plumbers.
You must immediately report to sensitivity training less you be called a bigot :)
How does defending the ‘rights’ of any person to show their underpants advancing the cause of any race of people.
Don’t get it.
Sounds like a character from Star Wars.
What is the problem in wearing baggy pants? It is none of your business how and why people dress. Also, I go to the mall and see middle and upper class kids wearing baggy clothes. Have they now been relagated to LOW-CLASS. Maybe you should have stayed Democrat. Bringing Class into this makes you sound like one.
I stand corrected..but it’s still a stupid thing to do..I watch “most famous police chases” once in a while or whatever that show is called and it’s funny to watch convenience store video catch a bad guy tryin to run away only to fall down cause his pants are around his ankles..
Imagine if a white organization said the baggy “do me in the rump” pants were a black thing, these black racists would be screaming racism.
Nice attitude.
People are perceived much on how they look, dress, act in public. You don’t form opinions like that? Most people do, and if you think “baggy pants” and worse enhances one’s image, then you’re the one of out touch.
If this passes I’m sure they will just stop wearing underwear.
And you’re still wrong! Pants droop b/c they dont allow belts, it has nothing to do with receivers.
“It is none of your business how and why people dress.”
But it does sound like your shorts may be a little too tight for this thread.
Adora Obi Nweze...
Geshundteit!
So, you don’t advocate an objective standard of behavior or decent dress?
I’ve corrected myself twice already..
The bill didn’t say anything about NAALCP members. Tough if their members are the ones who are doing the actions that will soon be illegal.
They want special privileges and exemption from our laws too.
In seeing the headline, I thought this was a humor thread.
Baggy pants are fine. Wearing them around your thighs and exposing your butt crack is disgusting. I find it offensive just as I find RAP music offensive. It is a symptom of a degraded culture/society being dragged to the bottom just as the lowest elements drag the educational standards to the bottom for the sake of tolerance and diversity.
