This is a G.A.M! (Grown Ass Man!) I can't understand it. Like you, I was taught that your appearance reflects how you feel about yourself, your folks, your community and your people. This, 'have a care' shit is for the birds, fam.<BR/><BR/>BTW, Happy Birthday.

Another reason maybe because parents are no longer policing their children. I couldn't leave the house unless I was dressed decently because as you said, at the time I represented everyone who lived in my house. Parents today sometimes just want the kids out of the house and out of their hair so they don't bother to monitor what Shenique and Lil Ray Ray are wearing.<BR/>As for me, I still love a brother who takes pride in his appearance. And I am like your mother. I don't even step outside to get the mail with rollers in my hair!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
