I did'nt say the clothes were inexpensive, but it does make them look..well...

as for "urban clothing" --kids get in trouble for wearing confedrate flags on their clothing, kids get in trouble for wearing trenchcoats after school shootings. Why should these students have their first amendent rights suspended in an unconstitutional school rule, while gansta people are allowed to wear baggy clothes - perfect for smuggling drugs and weapons, and other clothing which is designed to promote a lower quality of life.

Just listen to any rape song: does it treat men and women equally? Blacks and whites? Does it promote drug use, prostitution, and other unethical practices.

I beleive you CAN blame rap, in part, for some of societies problems. The lyrics of rap music, by a great majority, promote racism against white people (ME!), as well as voilence, most notable agianst women and police officers. Also condoned are
drug use, prostitution, and other illegal activities.

The fact is, you can't have entire generations of little kids, hitting maybe 6, 7, 8, 9th grade now, believing this stuff, dressing up like the rap video's on MTV, beleiving every bit. They young kids esp. are being poisoned by this stuff.

Just my piece, more than 2 cents, though.
