I may have to make this into a shirt for myself. Respectability politics have always been icky to me, I can write a paragraph but the cultural norm revolving around one demographic will always be 🗑️to me.

This saggin pants proposal in Georgia is dumb as fuck. i personally don't wear my pants sagging HOWEVER applying all this attention and regulation to how civilians choose to wear their clothes shows how asinine city/state officials are and where their priorities lie. I've read multiple articles and have yet to become informed as to WHY they see a need for such regulation other than "prohibit public indecency" & "finding exposure of an individual's buttocks, genital area, or undergarments being lewd and indecent." These people are dramatic as fuck and worried about the wrong shit. Commission Dennis Williams did say “We also have to be careful that could give a green light to some law enforcement officials who may not be on the even plane to bother people and it depends on how it’s approached because people do have the right to dress how they want to dress but they can’t be distasteful to the over all public,” anyway, respectability politics written all over this. smh. not here for it. How someone dresses is not a reflection of their character. rich white boys wear polo t-shirts, khaki pants (with a belt around their waist), and sperrys & be out hear date raping women soooo.... yeah.

Back in March before one taxpaying citizen received a dollar of taxpayer money from the government.... The Federal Reserve injected as much as $1.5 trillion into the financial sector. Billion dollar banking institutions received this money to “stimulate the economy” but we are headed for a #recession -

$1.5 Trillion roughly equals about $18,000 for every American citizen. But your President gave Billions to Billionaires long before he thought to give your ass $1200. But we never call it “stealing” when the rich do it. -

So I don’t want to hear shit about folks looting a Target.

Fuck that Target!

And fuck the respectability politics that punish poor people while the wealthy literally get away with murder.
