You can start by pulling up your pants.

He was speaking to the young black men of America.

I never heard this when he supposedly said it, however if he can convince all races, not just young men but young women also, he will have my gratitude forever.

All right, it may be a first, but HD gets a well deserved, Fanny endorsed "Ha!".

For anybody wondering how I saw this in the first place.... no, he's not on my foe list and never has been.

A WDFE "Ha!" is a compliment, btw.

Pull Up Your Pants!
"Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants," he declared. "You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What's wrong with that? Come on."

"Some people might not want to see your underwear - I'm one of them," he added.
I don't want to see it either.

When I volunteer at the library at Maddie's high school on Wednesdays you wouldn't believe how much underwear I have to look at.

I've not heard it either, but I wouldn't be surprised. He seems to be a very smart, aware person who takes pride in both himself and others. It won't hurt to have a positive example and somebody to take cues from for the younger people.

And not just black people, he has influenced a lot of Hispanics (and just plain people in general) in a very positive way.

PSM has it. The context was that candidate Obama was asked about the town/state/district/whatever that tried to enact a law against baggy pants. He said that he didn't think the law was a good idea, in that it wasn't something that should be legislated. Then he went on to say what was in the quoted section.

Blame Madonna, who made it fashionable, at least for women, to wear your underwear on the outside. :shock:
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

not only don't I want to see underwear, I really (really really really really) don't want to see the stuff you get to see when the falling-down/falling-off clothes aren't covering any. Underwear.

My crazy aunt Gladys did this 40 years ago. Then she went away.
