Okay, so what's the new trend of all the African-Americans here wearing their backpacks on the front of their bodies? I don't get it. Its called a backpack for a reason. You use your back for support, not your stomach. Can someone please explain this phenomenon to me ( Read more... )

be careful with generalizations. "ALL the african americans?" i know you aren't racist, but some people are sensitive enough that you might come across that way.

being politically correct, while seemingly overrated, is actually a way of making sure we don't accidentally stir a pot we didn't mean to disturb. the reason PC exists is because language shapes our thinking. if you say something enough, it becomes what you think and how you act. being overly careful about not stepping on anyone's toes is one thing, but making sure you don't make ridiculous generalizations that negatively shape your worldview is something else altogether.

trust me, i'm not into listless political correctness. just conscious caution.

bridgers, i just want to apologize for not getting the post that you wanted up. ive been swamped, but when it does come up, it will change the world. i also cannot wait till the new years resolutions post, because that is pretty much the highlight of my year. yea, my little bro, a freshman in high school, sports the backpack in front now. i think he wants a little more street cred. lunch this week?

A Gragg sporting the front pack? Absurd. But yes, lunch would be swell. Maybe Thursday?
