STOP THE SAG

BY KEITH KIRSNER Belt up, Gentlemen! Senator Eric Adams (D-Brooklyn) partnered with the non-profit group Full Persuaded for Children and Families to start a new campaign urging men to pull up their pants! Six new billboards are up in Brooklyn that read, ‘Raise your pants, raise your image.’ Sen. Adams explains how this is not a fashion trend, but a major social stigma of groups seen in a negative light. They are targeting young men to become role models for future generations. When you raise your pants, you raise your character and your self esteem.

Much like how baggy jeans came into society, this movement came from the prison culture. When men go to jail, their belts are confiscated so their pants are always falling down. This look is actually referred to as jallin’ in the prison yard. Adams says, “the city, the country, the globe is watching us. We are better than this.” Like the song goes: Pants on the ground, pants on the ground… Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground!
