I think it is our job to teach OUR kids how to 'code switch'. They MUST learn that the way you wear your clothes when you are out with friends, is one way, but that corporate America and certain other settings will require you to wear your clothes in another way (without the sag). Your very success will depend on their ability to 'code switch'.

Once upon a time Jazz was considering evil. When was the last time a predominantly Caucasian form of self expression was criminalized? This is a racist policy, meant to penalize Black people.

My parents rode me incessantly about pulling up my pants because they didn't understand. I think that's the key to all of this Understanding. Not all cats that sag and rock doo rags are thugs, and not all cats that wear dockers and wing tips are professionals. Plus the more we focus on and chide our young people for sagging, the more they are likely to do so. At this point I just shake my head when I see it, but I don't knock it. While it's not my favorite fad or trend, who am I to say it can't be done? While I don’t sag my pants anymore(I’m coming up on 28) I definitely USED to when I was a young thundercat.
