Wake Up 3: The Return of the Angry Black Man……Well Not Really That Mad

I know it has been a while since I have written a blog.  But within that time, I have seen random things that make me and some others say WAKE UP!!!!

I will not stop talking about this until people start to realize how stupid it is to walk out of your house in pajama pants and slippers.  Don’t give that excuse that you’re comfortable, you can wear whatever you want or I just threw something on to go to the store but remember this, other people can see you.  This is what I see when I see someone that does that first, it looks like you just rolled out of bed and didn’t wash your ass.  Second, you don’t care your appearance. And finally, YOU NEED YOUR ASS BEAT!!!!  You are not that comfortable wearing that because you get offended every time someone says something.

Speaking of things to not wear out of the house during certain seasons of the year, shorts and sandals in the middle of winter.  It has been a rather mild winter here in Minnesota but you still see people wearing shorts and sandals out of the house.  It’s not 95 and sunny outside in December, it’s more like 30 degrees with a chance of flurries.  Not to mention that there is some snow on the ground.  Not a lot but enough to cover some ice patches. So when they slip and fall, now they are mad because their legs are really cold from the snow.

What makes guys sag their pants?  I refuse to call them men because they don’t dress like one.  That’s not a good look because you walk like you’re a penguin and took a s*** in your pants.  And no one wants to see your dirty underwear laced in grim (use your imagination).  And on top of that, they have the nerve to wear skinny jeans.  Like the hip hop artist Joel Ortiz says “You ain’t cool you wack with your foolish acts, skinny jeans don’t mean your ass shoot, it means your booty claps.”  If you don’t understand what he means, you’re lost.

As people, we need to realize that what you see is what you get on the outside.  You can say that’s not the person I am but your appearance says another thing.  If people see that you care about your appearance and the way you carry yourself & dress, you will earn respect.  It’s the complete opposite when you sag your pants and claim you’re a so-called gangster.  As a black man, the stereo type of the black man needs to be uplifted and torn down.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  Until the next time, stay cool.
