Sorry,

as a poor and uneducated "white" man, i have always considered bandanas to be do-rags. Whether they be on Nelly, or a Biker in Sturgis. Granted the biker in Sturgis isn't part of hip hop culture but it's still a damn do-rag. What are they REALLY? and what are they REALLY for? National defense? Identification? What?

as far as the ghetto issue. For the love of god, do some people just wait on GC for someone to bring up an issue just so they can accuse them of being a racist?

and if i can't call the style "hip-hop", "ghetto", "rap" what the hell am i supposed to call it?

"style where people wear oversized clothes, white tshirts, lots of jewelry, DO-RAGS, hats and visors worn the wrong way, and AF Ones"?

Kitso
KS 361

Bikers do not wear do-rags. They wear headwraps. They don't even wear bandanas most of the time -- they have a specially fashioned piece of cloth that looks nothing like a bandana when it's off. And I know this because my friend's mom owns a company that sells biker apparel and I worked there one summer, so do not question my knowledge on this subject.

Sure, bandanas go across the spectrum of cultures, but the term "do-rag" is specifically associated with "ghetto" culture. You can't separate the "bling bling" from the black, because they are automatically linked in most people's eyes. And no, saying you don't find the "bling bling" attractive is not necessarily racist -- I certainly don't think it's all that hot when guys have got their pants pulled down to their knees -- but a ridiculous attack where you make fun of something that is clearly associated with one race is verging on it. It's really not all that far from saying "People who wear kimonos and eat sushi are really stupid. They should be wearing khakis and eating hamburgers like me."

I think it's hilarious when the same people who complain about "everything on GC turning into a race issue" are the ones who bring up things that are obviously race issues.

And I agree with Jules: wear what you want. People who wear labels are no better than those who don't, and vice versa. Isn't it great when we've got the non-label-wearers feeling superior to the label-wearers because they "are individuals" and the label-wearers feeling superior to the non-label-wearers because they are "in style"? And then toss in the people who think they're better because they're wearing Lilly Pulitzer instead of Abercrombie, Seven jeans instead of FUBU, etc. Seriously, how petty can we get?

I also agree with her that nerd glasses are hot.

Sounds like the best quote I ever heard- Never forget: you're unique.....just like everyone else.

She might be talking about those. But I like the thinner glasses, if I'm going to wear glasses. I've worn contacts for 19 years

and am reluctant to go back.

I'm glad that one summer spent working in a bike outfitters store has made you and expert on all things biker and qualifies you to speak on behalf of all bikers.

I spent one summer volunteering at a Boy's and Girl's club in Bryan, Texas, does that make me an expert on AfAm youth? i think some of the posters on GC would be quick to say Hell No. I have SEEN bikers wearing what i call do-rags, what others call bandanas.

There is a HUGE difference between a Kimono and hip hop gear. When the slave traders were bringing the slaves over to the New World were they chasing men and women wearing FUBU or sagging jeans? No. A kimono is a traditonal way of dress, bling bling is an amalgamation of different styles and fashion trends that is shared equally amongst American youth. If i had said, traditional African dress is dumb, and i don't like it, then THAT would have been a similar statement.

KS 361 times i knew this thread would go this way, not because i wanted it to, but because we can't have a convo like this w/o something playing the race card

Again, let's not be naive.

I'm not being naive.

I started this ENTIRE thread as a joke, not as a discussion of fashion. I gave it a name similar to the FAT like me thread that we were having fun on, and subsequently was locked.

So, in order to make my point i named it PHat like me. To continue the ruse, i posted about not liking the hip hop fashion. the first thing about race on this thread was when i mentioned, 'lets see how long it takes for someone to take this (harmless) thread and turn it into a race issue."

and, y'all proved my point. from now on i'll just post about white bread and gordon lightfoot. Oh wait, the canadians may start in on me next

KS 361 times i'm done with this topic.
