towns, like they do spanish speaking brown people. i'm too lazy to dig it up, but i've posted on it here before. i really hate today's republicans, because they've made open, in your face racism acceptable again.

Will somebody please tell me why everyone has to act white? WTF is this pathological desire to conquer and control everything.

How is it possible that these racist dress codes can even be written, much less upheld in court.

What's next?

Leglisating that all women must wear dresses or skirts? How about legislating mandatory wearing of burkas?

And who gets their panties in such a wad over boys wearing their pants low? They've got underwear on, so it's not like there's any legal 'obscenity' basis...

So what? Who cares? Other than to make up reasons to justify their hate of brown people?

I hate sagging. Hasn't got a hell of a lot to do with color. Has got to do with safety.

Ever see a kid whose saggy pants were stepped on from behind?

We. Are. Going. To. Die. We must restore hope in the world. We must bring forth a new way of living that can sustain the world. Or else it is not just us who will die but everyone. What have we got to lose? Go forth and Fight!-- Xan

And yeah, I hate it.

And you know what else I hate? That plague of backward baseball caps. I thought the population had built up sufficient resistance by now and moved on to the next virality, but now it's flared up again.

"You'll never keep the sun out of your eyes that way, son...."

elevator muzak. i'll know i'm old then.

i'm going to do a post soon, on the time period from 1900-15 or so. and how Thug Hipster Black culture was viewed then. bottom line: not much different than today. at least today, we're not jailing young Black men for looking at White women. at least, not as much. we still jail them for having gold teeth, hanging out with unsavories, etc. that will remain a crime (for some) for a while yet, i suspect.

those stepped-on pants-bottoms result in bloody noses and clogged hallways. Not to mention "aired buns."

None of which is terrifically edifying...
and it's *white* kids ... which, of course, isn't really enough to make you go blind. Just enough to make you wish you had....

i do. a lot. in the most ridiculous, unsafe, hampering, fashion conscious silliness. and i'm a good dancer, in spite of all that.

the Kidz are too. sigh, i'm having a flashback of one time during Fireball, and this luscious little Ravegrrl in these totally awesome superbaggy pants. i'm telling you, you've never seen beauty in action like her groove. she was too young for me, but still...lightning in the flesh.

anyway- worrying about baggy pants and fire drills reminds me of when they worried that girls shouldn't wear pants to school, but only skirts. it was a big deal in the early 70s. i think the logic was that girls' thighs were too delicate to rub on fabric, and thus they wouldn't be able to walk or run long distances, or something. /eye roll/

HA!
