Heres my argument, please for the love of GOD quit making this an attack on Black people, OMG. I am so freaking over hearing this worn-out argument, its old. Stop. Come up with some other valid points. If a culturally diverse population comes up with a trend, as this trend did come from black people, then people automatically blame it on their race and say they are being targeted. NO you are being targeted because out of all the freaking trends, this just happens to be very offensive by SOCIETIES standards. That encompasses everyone not just whites. Quit already. This trend started as a result of not being able to wear belts in prison and bands like Kris Kross who wore their pants big baggie and backwards. And, referring to Erik Erikson’s model of development we know that adolescent’s is a time that individualism and identity are important. Young people are influenced usually by things that go against the norms.

So, like I said, if you wanna wear your pants down at you knees or for that matter no pants at all, I don’t care, it doesn’t bother me. But if you wanna play the victim role because YOU KNOW IT GOES AGAINST NORMS and blame an attack on you because your black, that’s not ok, STOP!!

I just find it hard to understand how wearing something that’s designed to cover your butt without hugging it (in most cases) feels uncomfortable. I don’t expect someone to wear their pants old man style up to the navel, but I don’t see how wearing them over your butt is uncomfortable, especially if you wear pants with room in them. Oh well, do your thing. Thank goodness for drawls.

If saggin’ is your thing, then so be it. The bigger issue is that many that choose to sag don’t have any intention of going to the next level like many of us have. They intend to make their own path so they don’t have to bother with assimilation. And who knows what that path may be. That’s a much bigger issue and I think saggin’, for some, is just a manifestation of rebellion and throwing the finger at what society says is a more conventional way or path of success in life. Or who knows? Maybe I’m making it a bigger issue than it is. Maybe saggers really don’t like anything squeezing their butts. Just don’t complain when people judge you, like Theo said.
