Well, apparently you of half brain status knows what that means. What does a black person dress like? Please enlighten us full brained people so that we may know this information too. Is that Urban Dress? Casual? Brightly colored clothing? Flashy? Subdued? I wear the same clothes my white friends wear. I shop at JCPenney, Macy's and other major department stores and there is not a black, white, asian or hispanic section there. I have seen Urban Sections at JCPenney (where I work part-time), but guess who shops there mostly? Hispanics!!
Get it together before your stupidity makes you a liability.

I believe the discussion was based on what is considered popular black clothing. Sorry, but blacks you see popularized on TV and in the media dress quite different than the average white, Southern fraternity man. That is what most of the posting was concerning a few pages back. That and the picture that was posted of the black guys.

Just because you have an opinion based on a personal experience doesn't mean it is the way it is. Urban clothing was popularized by black people.....I don't think anyone is going to refute that.

Which is exactly what your comment is, a comment or observation based on your personal experience. Urban clothin is indigenous to those who live in urban areas, which can be any race. Hip Hop clothing on the other hand was worn by African-American and Latino members of the hip hop culture (and some white advocates) and has been popularized and worn by those mainstream people. Doesn't matter what you wear, it's what's in your head that counts.
