I think it's a stupid look. I don't have a problem with it unless it's showing part or most of someones bum. That goes for women with thongs as well. Where was this law when plumbers where showing it off so much?
There's not many young black males in my area. There's plenty of young white males that sport this look. I usually make a joke about it to their face so they are embarrassed and pull them up. I think if they are showing the "crack" area of the bum, then it's indecent exposer and there's a law on that already. Perhaps it just needs amended?

I absolutely HATE the baggy pants look, but I question how effectively this law would be enforced if it was passed. There are so many other issues that need our attention.

And I DO NOT think that this is a racial issue. I see just as many white, hispanic, and other races wearing the "baggy" look. EVERYTHING isn't a racial issue (and yes, this is a Black person saying this!!)

Believe it or not, the largest purchasers of hip hop music and fashion are LATINO kids (look it up, it's true). I'm just pointing that fact out because a lot of folks automatically think of young black males when the subject of baggy pants is brought up. If people just go by assumptions or "what they see on TV", they're not being realistic about this "image".

I think that the "baggy pants" look is either loved or hated by kids of ALL RACES. I also think that if parents put their foot down a little more with regards to acting and LOOKING respectful, the issue of making this a law wouldn't even BE an issue.

I have no desire to see anyone's ass or their choice of undergarments. I've seen all types wearing this look and it doesn't do a thing for me or them contrary to what they may think. This is much like those young ladies who think it's OK to wear hip huggers and crop tops when they have fat rolls hanging all over. NOT ATTRACTIVE, NOT COOL, NOT anything positive.
Add a belt, buy a smaller size and stop walking like you have BLEEP in your pants like an infant with a full diaper.

it is nasty plain and simple i dont want to see some guy or girls under wear and racial profiling thats a joke i see just as many white guys wear there pants like that as i do african americans so comoon its just nasty ya a fine should start to be enforced on them then they might learn to be a decent looking person when it comes to pants around the bottom of there bottom.its not fashion its just ridiculous and stupid looking!!!!!!!!!!!

You know baggy pants are still a better look the speedo's

Race has absolutely nothing to due with it!!! I see a pretty even amount of people of several races, so that is not the issue. My question is--Why do they bother to wear a belt????

You guys are making good points...I just thought of one more thing:

I wish we could round up all of the guys who wear the baggy pants and tell them emphatically that GIRLS do NOT find this look attractive!! So if they're dressing "baggy" because girls find it attractive, they are sadly mistaken. I have NEVER found this attractive, and neither does ANY female that I know! I even heard this topic discussed on the radio one time, and EVERY female that called in said they thought it was ridiculous!

And LADIES...any guy who is attracted to you simply because you're showing your THONG is NOT the type of guy you need to be bothered with in the first place!!!

Wake up, smell the coffee, and PULL UP YOUR PANTS!

Again....... this is NOT about RACE! It's about
dress atire!
I ahve 3 sons, 27, 22 8......They were, and are NOT allowed to dress as such!
It's sloppy/disrespectful!

I just saw that on television the other night and I thought to myself, "It's about time". I myself, as a parent, wouldn't allow my sons to show half their butts because I thought it was disgusting, anymore then I would have allowed my daughters to walk around with half their bras in full view. That's not to say they didn't do it once they left the house - but they were definately aware I didn't like it.

This isn't racial profiling - it's just another excuse for certain types of people to wine and use the discrimination clause in order to be able to do what they want. I don't want to see another person's underwear and I can't understand why anyone would want to expose it to the world. Do these young girls have any idea what those thongs straps look like sticking out of their pants? I'll tell you - the first think I think of is a Kotex belt - of course they're much to young to remember what THOSE are. If a person wants to stand out in a crowd, then have them do it by portraying themselves in a more positive, productive way. Even with school dress codes in force, you still have kids violating them on a daily basis and their parents complaining that their kids should be able to dress as they please. School isn't a fashion show - it's a place one goes to for education. How can kid's pay attention in class when they're constantly trying to keep up with today's disgusting fashion trends?

It amazes me to hear parents of these kids say, "it's not right to tell my child what he or she can wear" - don't they realize how it makes them look as parents? If these parents are so int
