For one, since we know we prejudge each other, I wanted to see how people think about certain people and the prejudgements that they usually tend to make. With that, this DEFINITELY leads to an opportunity for solutions, because somebody may take offense to someone else's prejudgement and respond, and they may debate and find a solution. Besides, we all know that "posting solutions" straight up with no debating never leads to anything, whether it's on message boards or in seminars or forums on campus.

To be honest...you should have a "Does it put A's and B's on my report card or money in my pocket or helping me in the long run" mentality..if it dosent...I just don't give a f**k about it. I mean, if you want to wear what you want to wear...dont worry about it and let em be...I just don't give a f**k...thats them, not me. That's the thing about Black people...were always into someone elses business but our own...My "f**k EVERYONE ELSE, IM FEND TO GET MINE" mentality suits me well ^.^

This is nothin but trivial discussion, and who ever said every topic on here has to show a mentality dealin with gettin money in my pocket or helpin me in the long run? We all know that most people, aside from the few who are elite (and even them), make assumptions and prejudge people based on how they dress and present themselves....it's basically human nature. So I just wanted to see how most people felt about these common themes that we see, and this will usually lead into further discussion about these things.

-Girls who sunglasses to the club nothin... i wear sunglasses ALL THE TIME, even at night / when i'm inside, so its all gravy -A dude with a white tee on if the tee's clean, i wouldn't think anything of him at all. unless he was good looking. -Dude with pink on there is not a damn thing wrong with wearing pink, whether its a male or a female. go 'head, pink wearin dude! -Dude who's definitely 19-21 drivin a very nice car, hooked up with rims and all of that he stole it. 85% chance he stole it. lol j/k -Girl in the club dancin, droppin her **** on the ground, with tiny shorts or a short skirt on ****. now if she wasn't wearin the short short / skirt, i wouldn't think that. -Greeks who wear their paraphenelia everyday, or are ALWAYS throwin up their sign everywhere they go get a life. -Dude with average, sorta dirty shoes on, wearin em to class or to the club i'll think that somebody needs to clean they shoes. -Dude with dreadlocks my sister has dreadlocks, and i don't hate her too much, so i wouldn't think nothin bad about this dude -Female with hair colors that definitely aren't natural, such as the reds, oranges, green, purple, bright gold, etc. etc. my sister's dreads are purple and green so i wouldn't think nothin bad about her either. -Dude drivin a straight up bucket (hoopty or whatever else y'all call it, but just a raggedy **** car), who is in school with you (lets be honest females!) some guys are well off, others aren't. that's a fact of life. so it wasn't his fault that that was the car he has to drive. wouldn't think nothin of it at all. -Dude with hoop earrings OH MY... -Dude wearin a basketball jersey, particularly a throwback jerseys are played out. -Dude with any kind of grills in their mouth smile for me, daddy! i wanna see your grill! haha, actually it would depend on how old he was; a young guy and i'd think he's just a trend follower; an older man, and i'd fear for his sanity.
