News Word: I’ll show you kids what a belt’s for!
Posted by Scott Henry @ScottTheHenry on Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 4:02 PM
In 2007, Atlanta Councilman C.T. Martin unsuccessfully proposed a much-debated law against saggy britches. Now he offers a resolution praising Morehouse College for setting a good example.
“The debate garnered international attention and discussion among youth and adults and has led to several states, municipalities and educational institutions to encourage their youth to dress appropriately.”
— C.T. Martin, from his current resolution
“I think people passing a law against people wearing sagging pants is a waste of time. Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants."
— President-elect Barack Obama, in an MTV interview
“The use of profanity and the wearing of exposed underwear are not a part of the image of Morehouse College, its students, nor its distinguished alumni, which include actor Samuel Jackson and director Spike Lee…”
— C.T. Martin, from his current resolution
“I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!"
— Samuel L. Jackson, from Snakes on a Plane, 2006

Hey C.T., Why don't you just make sure all the "brothas" stop assaulting, raping, robbing and killing folks instead. I say we let the idiots wear their baggy pants. That way we know who to stay away from. Plus, I've seen several of the fools get caught by the police because they got tripped up by their saggy britches.
