Baaa!

Personally, my style has always been kind of preppy (although you all usually only see me in sweats). As of the past two or three years, I have noticed a dramatic increase in the number of black people wearing Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch; but honestly, I think it's just a new fad. Regardless of race, humans are blind sheep. I think this article just magnifies this humanistic quality in blacks.

I've lived through the eras of FUBU, Roca Wear, Abercrombie & Fitch, True Religion, etc. Us little people follow stupid things that famous celebrities do all the time. For instance, A$AP Rocky was seen on 106 & Park wearing a dress...   -____-    ....Let's see how long it takes for more guys to wear dresses. It may not be tomorrow, or even three months from now, but you just wait!

It took over a decade for people to bite Dennis Rodman's style. We all looked at him like he was crazy, but now Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa are somehow cool..?

Morris mentioned that for some athletes, this new preppy style is insincere. A lot of trends are. For some reason, a few years ago we convinced ourselves that Crocs were okay to wear out in public. Crocs are the most hideous things I've ever laid eyes on. But I am happy that the current trends are more appropriate for perhaps a job interview. Employers wouldn't even think twice about hiring someone who came into an interview with their pants pulled down to their ankles.

I think that the more influential black figures are finally stepping up and showing the black youth how affluent people, or those who aspire to become affluent, present themselves. Notice that more and more blacks are attending college. The whole "Fight the Power" mindset was great for getting people fired up, but the real way to "Fight the Power" is to put oneself in a position to be "The Power." Word to yo mama!
