My favorite part is when Michaela Angela Davis says “We’re not allowed to have baggy jeans and a Hugo Boss suit in the same closet.” It’s so true. People need to get over the stereotypes. I personally dress fitted but I have friends that dress baggy and that does not mean they’re low class people or are not intelligent people It is just a preference in attire. Oh and middle class men have found it difficult to fit into and attracted women in a culture that is all about the thugs and gangsters.
I think however woman does want a man with some thug in him. Barack Obama does have a cool masculine aura about themselves. I do not want a man who is to much of anyway, a balance if you will. I want hear something on the erosion of the Black Family: Family Values and Marriage. I am sick of all the Baby Mama and Baby Daddy. If you are a African-American Women with no children people look at you like you have two heads. I am like what about marriage.
I think that it demonstrates that the UNDERDOG can prevail. However, I do believe there will be a shifting in the way African-American men carry themselves. I do not think all women like thugmos.
