This comment “Shop owner Mack Murray said Trenton's proposed ordinance unfairly targets blacks” shows how ignorant some people are. It is not about targeting blacks, it is about making people dress with some decency. They act as if it their right to show their underwear as a statement. It is not. And it is sad that so many black people do not have more respect for themselves to dress with decency.

Another statement from the article “There's a fear with people associating the way you dress with crimes being committed”. I agree totally. If any of these people took a class in statistics, maybe they would understand. If I see a guy with his britches down by his knees, I think “wannabe gangsta” who might try to rob me to prove to his buddies that he is a thug. He might be a nice law abiding guy, but I don’t want to take that chance. And if I feel that way and I am black, I know the white people must really be freaking out. The baggy pants black guy probably makes them think of every negative stereotype they have heard about. Instead of these black guys trying to look like people in jail, rappers, or street thugs, how about trying to look like a business person?
