Pants Hanging Down

Did you hear about the fellow being arrested at the airport in California because he would not pull up his pants. Momma said they arrested him cause he was black and had corn rows  hair or some such thing. Airline said they arrested him because he would not pull up his pants as inappropriate dress was not allowed on the airplane. Momma said they are racist. Police said they are inforcing rules. I say, “How do they keep their pants up?” I saw a white boy here in Albuquerque walking down the street, taking little bitty steps cause his pants were down around his thighs..But the pants stayed up. I saw a Mexican boy with  his pants hanging down and his brightly colored underwesr showing. The same day I saw a black boy showing off his grey underwear with black waistband . It is some kind of fashion statement and I guess they are willing to get arrested to show off their ability to keep their pants up while  dangling down around the thighs. I don’t know how they do it but I ain’t gonna ask. I just pretend everything is hunky dorrey and go on. But back to the Momma saying the airline and police are racist, I say, “Give it a rest.” That’s old stuff. In case you haven’t noticed mam, we have a black President….I say a black President, so come off it….Ok?

I think “sagging” pants are a personal choice, if that is the way you want to dress it is “your” business. As a teacher it was a problem, especially in middle school. Sagging was not allowed. I saw pants tied up with rope, yellow police tape, and 1 principal even went to a Thrift Store and bought numerous belts to enforce that dress code. It does make for neater dress and longer steps. 🙂

I don’t like it very much, however, it is a choice and if it makes them feel good, well, ok, but it looks like crap…..

That poor guy might have been me. What one has to go through in going through security these days at our nation’s airports makes one feel like doing just such silly things. It certainly makes one tend to forget where one is going and where one has been. After I finally made it through, I had to stop and reorient myself in order to get my bearings. The whole process is about that mindboggling.

By the way, let’s not forget that our President is half white. We are all participants in this mad rush towards oblivion regardless of one’s race, color, or national origin. If anyone deserves to be blamed, just point the ole finger inward towards oneself. Old Bill (Clinton) was right. He just pointed his finger in the wrong direction.

Sorry, but our President is half Black….I refuse to take the blame for folks wearing their pants down around the thighs and I certainly cannot do it…However, my pants no longer go around my stomach, they go under my belly and above the hips somehow….
