The funny thing about wearing their pants down so low and their underwear showing? In prison that’s what the “women” would do to advertise they wanted gay sex.
So the next time you see someone doing it, remind them of how it started. I’ve gotten some pretty funny reactions.
Jackson or Sharpton should don a hoodie!
LOL! I hope you carry, duck fast and run fast. This would be a great hidden camera piece to put on You-Tube.
I would never wear a hoodie, although not so much because of the hoodlum angle, but rather to avoid looking like Mother Theresa.
The only person I’ve ever seen that looked good in a hoodie was Kim Basinger in L.A Confidential. Of course she also married Alec Baldwin, so that pretty much proves that hoodies make you stupid.
I’ll post the same here.
May Dr Thomas Sowell live 120 years in excellent health!
Lord, hear our prayer.
why would anyone wear a hoodie IN THE FL HEAT?
Hah...That’d get a thugs attention in a hurry, look out! :-)
You might add to that, “And may he run for POTUS.”
"Hey! Whattabout me?"
This whole thing has brought to my mind images of the old west and a crowd with a rope looking for the nearest tree. Sowell stands as the proverbial sheriff in that scene, guarding the front door of the jail, a shot gun cradled in his arms (in Sowell's case a keyboard) and making a stand for law and order.
I'm not sure I agree with his point that people should not wear what is in fashion. At some point in time the sheer volume of the fashion takes the edge off any conotation the style may have.
There are certain areas in my city were I just won’t wear red. Even tho I am in my 50s I don’t want to give anyone a reason to think I am a ‘crip’ or something.
God Bless Dr. Sowell. Thanks for this excellent post jaz.
Here in the NW many, many people wear hooded sweatshirts and coats of all kinds because of the weather and they don’t have the hoodlum image but there are some areas in the bigger cities I wouldn’t wear one.
I’ve worn Carhardt dungarees to work for quite a few years now and some time ago, my high school aged niece told me they weren’t allowed to wear them to school.
Apparently, gang bangers started dressing like me.
I’m still not sure, however, if the school doesn’t want their students to look like gang bangers or people who have jobs (or both, maybe).
Ok, wear a stocking cap instead. Oh wait. Hoodlums wear stocking hats. Good thing they don’t wear pants. Oh wait......
