What's wrong with Respectability? Respectability Politics is essentially the idea of demonstrating to the majority group, i.e. white people, that black people are worthy of respect by exemplifying characteristics that the dominant culture deems as respectable. Examples include wearing a suit, ensuring your hair is done when going out in public, speaking with dignity, etc.
One of the issues is the wear that rich black athletes and entertainers wear. They dress an old way. Cause they can. They made Timberlands...of all things a status symbol. Kanye used to dress both hip and respectable. But he got off his meds....
Yep, that's true. There's nothing wrong with wearing Tims, jerseys, etc. I used to wear those back in the day...yeah, Kanye is off his meds, so you see what he is wearing or not!
