Down and Dirty, Rosalee?

I like the below-the-waist fashion that you see a lot of black teenager's wear today. Doesn't look good when I did it. Particularly when you see the look at those straight-laced women. LOL. This would make an educated Indian man with a daughter wince. But no one cared. But with black guys, it does something. Cities in the south are making ordinances in their counties on "wear and tear". I say, whatever.

I was at the Marta train station in Sandy Springs. There was this group of 6 girls and 5 guys going to a Braves game. I think they went to... a preppy school (by looking at some of their T-shirts. I went to Galloway). The guys were trying to show off their so-called "swag" to the ladies (They were tall-toned except for one). Couple of the girls ignored me when I looked at them (too old for this). Inside the train, they were all chipper, talking it up like summer camp or recess. Then all of sudden, you saw this brother with his pants hanging down and underwear up. The train stops, he gets up to walk. Complete silence from that group. Jaw dropping. The dude destroyed whatever swag them preps had for life as well as the girls for the rest of that ride.

Likewise, there was this couple with Atlanta Braves T-shirts, kissing in increments, warm and fuzzy on the train. They were some seats down from the teens but a couple from the bro. Ole time, they were embracing each other like birds on a tree. When the "Mr. Pant" walked out, the guy was still feeling fuzzy but some of the fuzz left the lady because her eyes were wandering in thinking mode of what if. The guy wasn't trying to make a statement because he wasn't looking at them. He was just being himself.

An ordinance should only pass if I did it which was back in 1989. Go Indigo Girls and M.C. Hammer! Problem was, no one cared because the girls looked at my skinny butt with disgust and pity (pant button broke and I tried to use the belt to keep it up). As Alex Hawkins would say, "that Roger Staubach runs like a sissy."
