by simply bringing up this topic, i have tended to take more notice to sagging in everyday life, references to sagging, and the like over the last few days.
wanna see what topics i caught?
even though you don't, here is what came up:
google "racist ASU party". they decided to drink from watermelons, dress up like basketball players, and sag their hats for an MLK day party.
i also heard this song on the radio while scanning stations:

i have noticed no references towards "sagging" being a white person thing. it can be, but it is clearly viewed societally as a black person thing.
Ya I am pretty sure I am not going to contribute to any hits to the "racist ASU" party.
Your references toward sagging being a white or black thing....are you searching the interwebz for that?
Why?
All I can tell you is some whites AND blacks do it where I am from, I don't need to google it dude.
This is evidence its a CULTURAL phenomenon, not racial.
But hey you already indicated "saggin" was a racially charged term correct? What do you expect will happen when you googles racially charged words?
no, my point in this thread was that the person of this town should stand up against this racist law. i made this thread because another member who i accused of being racist may have lived there at the time this happened.
the federal government has its place though. i certainly hope that we both agree that federal intervention into the practices of racist business owners in certain states was a good idea (i am referring to title II of civil rights for the record).
what say you? do you agree that it was a good idea for the federal government to mandate that private business owners whose businesses were 'open to the public' serve the entire public? i'm talking hotels, gas stations, restaurants, and the like. do you agree that it was a good idea for the federal government to end racist practices that states were refusing to end on their own?
Look dude I don't think its a good idea. Not because I want businesses to be racist but because this stuff imho is better worked out by the individual. Check it:
If I wont let purples in my resturaunt, gubbment shuts me down, makes me comply, whats left residually in me?
Do I now hate purples less or more?
Same?
Nope, I hate em more now.....and money we don't have was spent.
What should happen is the purples make a stink, boycott my eatery, persuade all the oranges and greens to do it too.....they will, cause they all know its wrong....I go out of business cause times have changed for the better.
you just visited bad analogy city.
such heavy handed federal intervention would be colorblind.
if the federal government were to step in on every single little racially targeted law that a backwoods town in the south put into law, they would exhaust their resources fairly quickly. there are many towns who have also enacted this racially targeted law.
i would be all for the force of law to exist anyway, but the point is that the people shouldn't turn a blind eye to this type of thing.
if they were to pull such obvious shit where i live, the backlash would be immense and immediate. this is a public shaming of these backwards southern towns who still try to get away with this obvious shit in this day and age.
Its color blind until someone says it isn't. I support local governments making their own local laws.
Where would we be with mmj if not for this?
Town says pull your pants up....you say its a racial thing, I cant agree just cause you posted some pics of black people doing it.
Watch this carefully, tell me this dude isn't "sagging" a lot of the time...
