omg so much SWAG!!!!!…. =.='
Would have to be the worst place in the world. Where retarded teenagers go to play dress up as the African-American.
Oh you're wearing a Bulls jersey, bet you've never even seen a basketball game diptard.
Also, why are all their models always looking down with their stupid hats blocking their face? Is it they are wanted by the police and don't want their faces seen? Or they feel so stupid wearing such ridiculousness clothes?
I've actually been to Brooklyn, and let me tell you, if anyone was seen wearing this rubbish, especially some white kid, it wouldn't end well.
My fellow Gen Ys are simply retarded
EDIT: I'm not done. I can't stand when complete wankers wear this rubbish clubbing. When I started going clubbing back in the mid-late-00s guys got dressed up, nice jeans, button up shirt. Now days thanks to this "black trend" the guys look like they should be at a Miami cock fight, not out at a club. Seriously, I know brain dead 18 year old girls might find it attractive, but give it 12 months and these girls will grow up and realise only a wanker would dress like that and no amount of "swag" will pay for a life. Take the stupid hat (yes, it's a hat, not a "snap back") off and get a hair cut.
Idiots.
I'm sorry.. A white homey is going to get bashed in Brooklyn? I'm sure you've been there, and that there were lots of big scary non-white guys, but I am not sure that this means that white homies get bashed. I mean, there are famous white rappers from Brooklyn (and I'm not talking about the Beastie Boys).
There's a difference to real "white homey" (if we have to use such wanky terms) and some middle-class dipshit kid walking around wearing a $60 hat.
Sorry.. You seem to have entirely shifted the goal posts. I was responding to the suggestion that a white guy dressed in clothes like this would be bashed in Brooklyn, presumably by non-whites. It's just not true.
At that time, I did not disagree with much else in your post, albeit that I was slightly suspicious of your refernece to African-Americans - as if they all dress the same, which they don't. I thought you were just being inadvertantly racist. However, your edit makes it fairly plain that, in fact, you are hateful of a certain subculture which you abscribe to all "blacks" and African-Americans. There's a word for that, and it ain't diptard (although that applies too).
I think that homies look ridiculous too, especially in Australia. I just don't link that to them wanting to look or act "black" - because I'm not a racist.
Your apparent state of terror in Brooklyn makes perfect sense now.
Really? Super sensitive. Obviously I am referring the stereotypical image of the "African-American" stupid trends like this promote. Look at the models on their site, 95% are African. Clearly that's the image they are trying to present to an impressionable teenage audience.
Brooklyn was one of a few "scary" places I visited during my time in the US, there was not one race that caused this fear.
Sorry, you were just indiscriminately invoking a stereotype of an entire racial group, in a negative way. Yeah, I'm super sensitive and you're not a racist. Seriously, do you know what racism is?
You then go on to say that the site is trying to promote African-American (I note that it's now in inverted commas, why?) trends to "impressionable" teenagers - and, in context, it's clear you mean impressionable white teenagers. I'm just not really sure what we're supposed to be protecting the poor old rich white kids from.. Looking like what you think "African-Americans" look like? Is that it?
EDIT: Your comment about Brooklyn also rings hollow. I mean, you said above that white kids would be in trouble in Brooklyn for dressing "black". Aside from that suggestion being laughable, I think you've made it pretty clear why you were afraid in Brooklyn.
I'm trying to protect ALL Australian children from loosing their real culture (where ever they be from) to the stereotypical image of "African-Americans". Nothing more. Just as I would hate to see an Sudanese refuge who has moved to Australia loose their amazing culture to the stereotypical "African-American" image.
Btw, "African-Americans" aren't even a race, it's a group of people. Africans are the race.
The "inverted commas" (which by the way are called quotation marks, genius) are there to highlight I am referring to the stereotype of the group, not the group themselves. If you had any grasp on the English language we wouldn't be having this discussion. Stay in school kid.
EDIT: In Brooklyn I was afraid of the big groups of young people, the fact that they were predominantly "black" is irrelevant. Just like how in Manhattan I was a afraid of the "white" homeless people. Race had nothing to do with it. The fact that they were obviously struggling financially and I was walking around with a SLR was what made worry.
Great. So you're a racist then. Nice.
I can't comment on the accuracy your second point, but I don't really see the relevance. Suggesting that a your distain for group of people identifiable by racial, religious or cultural characteristics is not racism because they are not techinially a race is (even if true) not exactly a defence to a charge of racism. Frankly, it tends to reinforce the charge.
Finally, and perhaps I'm in the wrong here, but I have never understood the use of inverted commas to indicate that "relax,despite appearances, I am not being a racist. No, seriously, check out my quotation marks, genius". Obviosuly though, there's a whole bunch you can teach me.
No seriously, you are are obviously trolling.
I've made it perfectly clear:
1. I hate the stereotypical image of African-American, not the race. Hence, not racist.
2. I hate when ANYONE follows this stereotype
3. Not all, infact the majority of Americans of African decent do not follow the stereotype.
4. Hating on a subculture is not racism. By your logic anyone who hates on the subculture of Justin Beieber, One Direction etc. fans are racist against white people because they are predominantly white.I'm done talking to you.
I think you are referring to "thug" culture here which has nothing to do with race or color. Cool down guys, it's a bargain website.
Call it what ever you want, I have said many times it's not about race.
My point is, ass-hat companies like Culture Kings play up to this stereotype being "African-American" through the near exclusive use of African models and harping on prominently minority cities of the US. But some people don't have the mental ability to have a serious discussion without over simplifying it to "Racism".
Go back and read your first message. See what you actually said. It's a bit late to start backpedalling now.
1 - You invoked the stereotype, no one else. You adopted the magic inverted commas late in the piece - incidentally their magic ability to render things that appear racist not racist was not apparent until you explained it. (I am still slightly confused by the magic, if truth be told).
You could've explained yourself early on, but you didn't. At best, you chose your words extremely poorly by, in sum, suggesting that impressionable white kids are at risk of having African-American trends promoted to them. I am not putting any words in your mouth, and it remains blatantly offensive.
You subsequent attempts to redefine the words that you used and leture on the meaning of racism are transparently self-serving.
2 - Not relevant.
3 - True, but not relevant.
4 - I did not say this.If you believe what you said, own it. Don't be a coward.
"in sum, suggesting that impressionable white kids are at risk of having African-American trends promoted to them. I am not putting any words in your mouth, and it remains blatantly offensive."
I'm saying ALL Australian kids, regardless of their colour or heritage are at risk of loosing their own culture and traditions to an American fad that is followed by a wide range of Americans, though predominantly displayed in the media and fashion companies as being "African-American". That's it, take your Political Correct badge off and stop reading into stuff.
Why do I feel like I'm talking to a first year Uni student taking an ethics class and suddenly thinks he understands the entire world and is on a crusade to save the world.
Can I say that you both really care too much what another person on a forum thinks? You guys sounds like a pair of bible bashers from different religions.
Or continue on, I'm sure the starving people all around the world will think this is a good topic to discuss.
I'm done with this, but what you said was racist and your justification doesn't make any sense. You're trying to rebadge what you said as an issue of Australian culture being at risk from American culture. What you said was about black kids and white kids. These two issues are entirely discrete. One is racist, one is not.
Clearly you have an agenda to push, refusing to accept any explanation and are hell bent on calling me "racist" with zero knowledge about me. Once again, nothing I have said relates to race, you clearly don't have the mental ability to process reasoning beyond black-and-white name calling. Go find another battle to fight, your just making a fool of yourself here. Or better yet, grow up.
I don't think anyone was claiming a "snap back" isn't a hat.
Then why do these idiots think they need a $50 carry case?
Stupid people need to be forced to stop breeding.

Wow you weren't kidding.
That's the stupidest shit I've seen today, why the hell would you ever need more than 1 hat with you at a time.
Apparently too much "swag" makes you grow more heads. All this time I just thought it made you grow something on your forehead.
Welcome to Amerstralia!
The worst thing now is that I see numerous kids under the age of 10 wearing this shite, not to mention all the gangs of lads wearing this crap, bunch of bloody mongaloids.
Have you really been to Brooklyn? The place is full of hipsters riding fixies.
And i dont know how old you are but wearing NBA jerseys with a snapback etc was the trend when i was going to school in the mid 90s too. Except back then the brand was Starter not Mitchell & Ness and you wore them with Kepper jeans and Jordans. Oh wait Jordans are back in style too. Fashion goes in circles.
Yes I've really been to Brooklyn, start of 2012. It is very segregated. Hipsters one neighborhood, completely different the next.
I'm mid 20's, I never remember it being this bad in the 90's. Never.
Well you were either too young to remember or you have a terrible memory. Basketball cards were everywhere, Shaq and Jordan were household names, Channel 10 showed NBA games on tv, Darling Harbour basketball courts were packed out, Even Sydney Kings had a following! Ahhh good times.
Hip hop style is in fashion as it has been since the 90's time to just move on with your life.
+1 for Kepper jeans …. I still have my pair .
Calm down, gramps.
I'm very close to your age. It's not about age, it's about not being a wanker.
I think we can all agree with this statement.
Angry, angry young man
Just be grateful guys wear this gear as it makes you look better and women might look past your "judgemental" ways. Did I use those quotation marks right? I don't care they're "fun"
So much hate over a white t-shirt and jeans? That's been standard issue male attire since the 50s.
delete
lol jeans to a club is dressing up? back in the 90s everyone had to wear collared shirts, dress pants and leather lace ups to get into clubs. jeans would be an automatic knock back.
Nice jeans, straight cut or skinny, button up collared shirt, leather shoes. That was minimum when I started. Now days they basically let any scum in. I'm guessing this is why violence is increasing.
aww only a white t-shirt. I was hoping for this: http://www.culturekings.com.au/tops/t-shirts/limited-cross-t…
I was gonna post here until I saw PainToad had completely smeared the walls.
Your logic is flawless…
All this hate over a pair of jeans and white tshirt with shoes.
