As I walked into school this dreadful morning, I figured I could predict that everyone would have on their new Christmas clothes..crisp blazers, Rocawear, or whatever the heck people wear these days. To my surprise, after every corner, I saw one of these scarves pictured below. I was so...pissed. I thought we left these behind in '08 people. Seriously, EVERYONE had one on like they just came out. They must've been buy one get one free for a friend or something at the mall. It puzzled me that people are just now getting onto this "trend". I never rocked this myself, being that I just thought I was never "cool" enough to do so. Smh...High school. 
for most it could be a hype trend, but for those conscious hustlers it could be more than just a scrap of cloth. this has historical/cultural meaning, especially in the heat of the iran/palestine conflict. to wear this is in solidarity of the palestineans who are being murdered on the daily while all we worry about it the trends of 08 or 09.
ReplyDeleteEww, crazzzzyyy funny how this Christmas people are still getting them as gifts i personally had 1 too many colors i think... i definitely put those to rest early 08 as soon as summer came around (;
ReplyDeleteThose scarves, shemaghs as they are known where done in 06...Well, out here in London anyway.
