Today K and I were hanging out at Columbus Circle watching some high school kids hanging out skating around the statue of Columbus. Kids were primarily black and white, or African- American and European-American, if you will. What I noticed was the union of two cultural phenomena. Skating came from, I am guessing, suburban white kids. And the low pants fashion, I think, came from urban black culture. And at Columbus Circle, and elsewhere, the two phenomena have mixed. There is hope for the world.
How many racist white men now wear their pants low because that is the fashion?
