And how about the "style" (I use the term loosely - no pun intended) of the baggy cloths?

They are mimicking the street kids, who don't have enough money to purchase the correct cloths. Hey, I guess it is sheek to look like bums?!?!?!

 

Fo Shore is hillbilly ebonics. :laugh:

 

:th_fish:

 

We see this sort of linguistic abberations, clothing choices, and behavior because the youth of this country have been taught by the media (and to some extent the schools and society) that it is justified, righteous, and just plain cool as hell to take on the trappings of the counter culture and its progressive rebellion against the old order.

And T, the baggy clothes thing has NOTHING to do with not having the money to buy clothes that fit -- it was a freaking street trend partially and a high fashion take off on street fashion only. Poor kids have habitually gotten their clothes from yard sales, thrift stores, and charity houses -- they don't get to wear the stuff you see rappers, gang bangers, and spoiled suburbanite kids wearing. Yeah, their clothes may not fit -- but this had nothing to do with lack of wealth, precisely just the opposite of it; it's a display of wealth.

And damn nasty too -- when some young punk is walking around with his damn pants almost down to his knees and the front of his boxers are hanging open (yeah, major c$%k shot -- what a way to start the day :) I kinda have to fight the urge to shoot him. and usually he's walking with some dumbass girl sporting the every popular "whale tail" -- oh yeay, I get to see her goodies too while picking up milk for my babies: -- so I have to fight the urge to (quaintly) "pop a cap in their ass" -- because you know somewhere out there is a little old lady that's dying due to lack of oxygen; oxygen that these two worthless sacks of shit as sucking up. (and that they'll probably reproduce and create even more worthless sacks of shit that will eventually suck ukp my oxygen).

 

I don't know if this is what you're talking about or not... but if you are talking about the closed caption for the hearing impaired?

 

Baggy clothing started in prison, as a way to communicate availability. I bet if kids new that, they would be less willing to dress like that

I dont care what TV channels put on there--but it is true that white folks are not the only demographic in this country. It is a fact that soe peopel talk that way--so why shouldnt it be used on TV too? Media is supposed to be a reflection of society
