nikka YOU go walking around in a suit all damn day in August
Yeah, ain't nobody trying to dress like that year 'round. 
But I do agree we could be more dignified.
Solution is group economics and teaching our kids to love themselves more by teaching them our real history.

not suits, necessarily
just dressed up nicely. Carrying yourself in dignity as opposed to dressing liek a raggamuffin.

So you don't see a problem with contrasting one snapshot to an entire era? Why don't you look back in American history and find a shot that rivals this?

One of the problems is that our beautiful and dignified First Lady said that she wanted to be like Beyoncé Knowles.
So there's that.

theres an entire mindstate change when you're dressed in a certain way.
what you wear really does affect how you carry yourself.

Think about it yall...in the 60s we started gaining self consciousness and started going away from what was deemed acceptable by whites. We grew Afros and facial hair and wore dashikis. We don't need to dress like them in order to maintain our dignity
So you're telling me whites got a monopoly on suites?
I can guarantee you anytime I ever wore a suit being accepted by a cracka was the last thing on my mind. Plus as of right now I'm still rocking my fro and beard hell I've even turn down some jobs because people din't like my afro. So to me this is an strange concept even though I can see where you're coming from.

Nothing wrong with suits. There are occasions when theyre necessary but how many Africans do you see rocking suits? As a people we decided we were gonna do our own thing and not be trapped by the white mans ideals. Its the same thing with names
