About Me
"In my opinion"
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs;
"We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem;
"...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression;
"Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

Welcome
Although I'm pretty tired of the "Race is King" mantra usually put forward by past and current polemics, race-relations (and the improvement of such) is always a good topic of civilized conversation. I've been called "Uncle-Tom" more times than I've been called "N-----". When I volunteer at the local Habitat for Humanity, I'm often the only black working who's not trying to get a house. When I volunteer at the local shelter, I'm usually the only black on the giving end. Something is wrong or deficient with Black-culture (as it is practiced today). Don't say that I don't know the ghetto, I'm originally from the ghetto. My ghetto-pass wasn't pulled, like my middle school I.D., it expired. I graduated. Now, I say middle school because too many blacks haven't graduated from high school. (Detroit, anybody ?) Please feel free to bring up any topic but please refrain from misusing epithets and downgrading others. Thank you, UBJ

Hopefully they dress this way because they attended a prep school with uniform requirements.
One the habit is inculcated, it is an easy, comfortable, functional, useful and affordable one to maintain.
I dress that way! (Slightly updated.) CNu, sadly I went to a public high school in rural Pennsylvania. A friend in school called it the Blockbuster Video Employee look.
But, yeah, it's comfortable, it looks better than the even-more-comfortable jeans & T-shirt uniform, and I look exactly like millions of other guys. Perfect. I don't care about clothes, but I don't want to look like a reject either.
I hardly ever wear the blazer.
The real NY preppies actively assault the senses with deliberately dumb-looking stuff, plaid blazers and weird slacks. But I'm not a real preppy. I don't even care enough to advertise that I don't care.
Wally, wally, wally, wally, wally, wally world...,
Puritan cotton flat front pants for $12.00 - that's cheap enough for those joints to be dayyum near disposable.
George white cotton oxford shirts for $10.00 - you wind up spending more money on your tee-shirts, socks, shoes, belt, and drawls...,
No effort, no thought, simple, straight-up, cheap and plain.
Depends on the person. I have found myself in a place where you have legit people who always dressed this way, which becomes even more obvious on parents day (lots of grown ups who dress exactly the same as the kids... nothing like my upbringing), then there is a whole crew of folks who dress that way because it is "now".
Deciphering between the two sorts is difficult, entertaining, and an obvious waste of my precious time... so of course I will continue to do it.
Ohhhh ... has the look suddenly come back in style or something?
Timeless never goes out of style...,
Ack like you know!
lol...
Brohammas, I never thought of it as something that had to be come by honestly or anything. It's a uniform. People put it on, they're now wearing the uniform. JMHO.
Tom,
Those who weren't raised in the uniform but have donned it are not dishonest, they are as you say simply wearing the uniform. We agree here, but... (there is always a but),
With prep there are some who wear this style by some sort of cultural dictate or have always done so from their early youth. I am not one of those.
Preppy is back in style so many who never wore it before are doing so... not dishonest, but not the same as the "native." I have no problem with either but the watching them both is fascinating.
