"Behind the indecency laws may be the real issue — the hip-hop style itself, which critics say is worn as a badge of delinquency, with its distinctive walk conveying thuggish swagger and a disrespect for authority. "
“It’s a fad like hot pants; however, I think it crosses the line when a person shows their backside,� Ms. Lartigue said. “You can’t legislate how people dress, but you can legislate when people begin to become indecent by exposing their body parts.�
how come no one is banning those god awful t-bars hanging outta chicks backsides, that's exposed flesh....all we look at in these cases is boxer shorts. Fine if people don't like saggy pants and it makes them uncomfortable, like there is a subversive element in the midst, they have to cross to the other side of the street in broad daylight, but just admit your own freaking worries and prejudices, it'd be a lot easier to take than pretending it's all about something else. It's like a little kid lying about why they don't want to go to the doctor, they have this big elaborate story involving multiple mythical characters, various plots, but it's very obvious the bottom line is FEAR.
