#PantsUPDontLoot - The Billboard Rises




Many people are calling the Pants Up Don't Loot billboard racist. That does not make sense to me. The billboard does not mention race. Unless that is the reader ASSUMES that people that have sagging pants and loot must be "youths". But wouldn't that assumption make them racist?

I personally assume the billboard is targeting old Jewish women.So that would make it anti-Semitic. And ageist. And sexist,



Supporters of Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson have raised thousands of dollars with the intention of putting up a billboard in the St. Louis suburb that reads "#PantsUPDontLOOT."

Violence In Chicago

President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
