Correct.
Its origins are one thing but keeping it a "white thing" versus "black thing" is a different story.

That has already been outlined in this thread.

Whites started popping collars first.  I see whites do that today.
I don't like shades at night. I think it's dumb. I'm not quite sure if those are "urban style" sunglasses as opposed to...regular sunglasses that some black guys are wearing in a picture. But I do remember that "normal" things suddenly become/are called "urban" when black people do it.

I think my point was proven. Polos and sweaters are supposed to be a "white thing". As a matter of fact I get called an oreo or Brooks Brutha for not following the urban trends of fashion. But to hell with it all. I also notice that none of the most important points in my post were addressed!

What they need to call you is "gainfully employed". I hate when someone says I "talk" white or "act" white. So are they saying only white people can speak correct grammar and not get loud in public places? I tell people that there is a time and place for everything. Sometimes we are actors just playing a part.

Don't worry, we're not asking you to wear them. Its because those glasses have a purpose. I'm not busting out my costa del mar's to go to the club at night, rather I'm wearing them on the boat or on the golf course. I personally buy sunglasses to, you know, keep the sun out of my eyes. The purpose isn't to look like I just stepped off a Kanye video set. Then again, thats probably the difference between us...
haha, I'm still laughing about the "tacky" comment. I guess simplestic sunglasses made of quality materials are "tacky."

no, they're just ugly. there's plenty of other stylish glasses you can wear on a boat or the golf course that don't look horrible.
