Why Do African Americans and Wannabe African Americans Leave Holograms On Their Hats?

[Tuesday]

Let me explain...

Let me explain more, you're not understanding what I'm trying to say.

First, your question that I answered was, "is it still cool for african americans to where holograms on their hats?".

Then I answered you, that if people are doing it still, then it must still be considered cool.

You replied that someone could have cool stuff and not be cool.

Now, let me point out that your reply about having things and not being cool - is a different question that you first asked, which was is it cool to wear the hologram.

So to conclude and answer both your questions, yes if people are still doing it that shows that doing it is still thought of as cool - or else people wouldn't be doing it. To answer your last question about having cool things and not being cool, that is an obvious given and you are of course right - people can own cool things, and try to show off by doing cool thing and it doesn't make them cool. But, that doesn't change the fact that the things they own and the things they are doing are cool. Simply put, doing something "cool" or fashionable, does not make that person cool - it just makes them a un-cool person doing cool things.

Does that help?

I was in a company town hall meeting that was boring today. I was thinking of random things such as the escorts I slept with in AC, what would be my best escape route if the auditorium was stormed by armed gunman and I still don't understand why african americans still where holograms on their hats. I didn't get it back when I made the thread, but I still don't get it now. Even if I still don't get it, is it still cool for african americans to where holograms on their hats?

I don't think being black and having a hologram on your hat or not having a hologram on your hat, is a factor in being "cool" or not "cool". If by "cool", you mean is it the fashion for black guys to have a hologram? If you're still seeing people do it - then it still must be the fashion or "cool".

Does that help?

No. A guy could have all the cool gear, but not really be cool.

Not trying to be a smart ass but I think it's a waste of time to try and figure it out

Reminds me of Bio 101 where I had to go to the zoo and write down when monkeys slung feces at eachother

Tuesday, I appreciate the response. I don't know though if a group of african americans in a city who still wear holograms on their cap would be cool if another group of african americans in the same city don't rock the holograms on their caps because they know it is not cool anymore. So based on this example, is it cool?

The group that doesn't rock it gets hotter hoes, steals more cars and slangs more rock vs the other group that wear holograms on their caps. They are only into petty theft and hang around with heavier african american females who wear holograms on their caps.

$20 or $35 whatever. Does anyone know why? Also, can someone explain to me why 17 years or so ago african americans or african american wannabees wore one pant leg pulled up to their shin bone?

LL Cool J did the pant leg to the knee thing in a music video a long time ago. I believe the video was "Hey Lover" but I'm not 100% sure...however, the hologram is just one of those trends that they think is cool...not sure who started it.

[robmpink]

someone throw me a bone here.

[Let's Go Rangers]

can't throw you a bone.

Any bones that were laying around are in the noses of those wearing holograms on their hats

[Smoke]

Who picks cotton?

[TheRifleman]

[robmpink]

Anyone know after all this time?

[daneblazer]

to make them look like a pack of upper deck baseball cards?

Now that was funny.

[Tmuston Beltics]

african americans probably don't know how to take off the holograms.

lmfao

[Kermit]

You're never alone and lonely if you have a hologram with you.

[Big Bear]

ding ding

why dont u ask a person wearing it?

thats probably a good way to get your ass beat. As a fellow african american i can tell you a cultural thing.

Its just the cool thing to do. Also we keep the tags on our Jerseys so we can return the Jersey after we wear it
so we aint gotta pay for it

I ball so hard i need a jersey on and i keep the tags on so you know i'm fresh

[robmpink]

This look has been going on for awhile. When will african americans stop wearing holograms on their caps?

Wouldn't it fly,dope, crunk or whatever term is used for someone to stop wearing them to start a new fad of not wearing them?

[Big Bear]

We are talking about a $20 authentic mlb cap.

they cost like 36.99 +tax where i get my caps

i usually have to try on about 50 hats to get one to fit just right. They seem all fit different even if they are the same size.

As far as the question its b/c it looks cool

[jayfly]

no it doesnt

[Slanina]

What's more of a mystery is when the first kid did it and his friends didn't make fun of him, thus ending the trend then and there.

[Big Bear]

While sagging did gain its start in the U.S. prison system, it was not a clothes-wearing style authored by imprisoned homosexuals intent upon advertising their interest in casual flings. Sagging pants became the behind-the-bars thing thanks to ill-fitting prison-issue garb: some of those incarcerated were provided with clothing a few sizes too large. That oversizing, coupled with the lack of belts in the big house, led to a great number of jailbirds whose pants were falling off their arses. (Belts are not permitted in most correctional facilities because all too often the lifeless bodies of their inmate owners have been found hanging from them.)
