Morehouse Says ‘Step Your Dress Game Up’

I wasn’t gonna talk about it but I’ve been asked too many times.  Even though I don’t attend the prestigious Morehouse College, I guess because I’m young, black, male and live in Atlanta people want to know my opinion on it’s dress code.  Or maybe they just value my opinion, either way here it is.

This is a private institute. They have the right to enforce whatever rules they see fit.  If you don’t like them then don’t attend.  Simple as that.  I don’t have an issue with the rules.  Frankly I am tired of seeing sagging pants, people wearing shades indoors and men dressed as women or with women’s accessories (e.g.  purses, scarves, high heels, dresses etc).  I’ve never seen people walking around in pajamas but when I was in college I would see girls come to class in their Vicki’s sleepwear looking like they just rolled out of bed.

Again, this is a private institute, meaning not publicly funded.  This is also a school you CHOOSE to go to.  It’s not forced upon anyone to go there.  If the rules don’t fit you then go else where. I’m sure Georgia State, UGA, Georgia Perimeter or Georgia Tech will accept you and let you run around looking like a fool as long as you pay your tuition. Morehouse it seems, is trying to uphold their long storied legacy.  You can’t be mad at that.  We as black men need to get that wholesome image back anyway!  I’m not saying you have to wear a Brooks Brothers suit everyday and dress like Fonsworth Bentley but at least look presentable.  You can wear loose fitting jeans without them falling off of your ass.  Unless you’re blind as Stevie Wonder or have some sort of Retinal disease then please take those damn sunglasses off inside or at night! Matter of fact leave them on because I hope you dumb ass trips because you can’t see and falls while your pants dangle around your stupid ass ankles! Jerks. Don’t give me the argument that they are expressing their individuality because if your’e dressed like everybody else than you’re not being individual.

Anyway,  every college has a dress code even public ones, it’s in the student handbook.  Some choose to enforce it while others don’t.  So Morehouse decides to step it up and update theirs so that the Men of their respectable institute look like well, respectable men than more power to them and I hope other schools take heed and follow suit.

That is all.

Sincere
