How about wearing sushi? And eating a kimono?

Because daishikis are, like, so seventies, dude.

Besides, everyone knows that you can't wear a daishiki without a fuzzy-ass 'fro, a kinte cloth cap, and silver aviators' shades. Gotta go for that Black Panthers look to do it right.

He He. How about wearing whatever the hell you want and not worrying so much about it. I got mocked and beat up by rednecks from the time I was about 14 for having a mohawk and funny clothes, but it didn't stop me from it, so fuck 'em. I know it's not as rough for punks these days, especially in certain parts of the world, but this was 15 years ago in Texas, for god's sake, and I think I can say a little on the subject of standing out like a sore thumb. Although, I can't claim to be in the same position, I think you get me. You can't be resposible for the lot of knuckledraggers we got rollin' along about us. Do what you like.

A foolish young man
Of the Negro Persuasion
Devoted his life
To become a caucasian
He stopped eating pork
He stopped eating greens
He traded his daishiki
("Uhuru!")
For some Jordache Jeans
(does this answer yer question, mr. easton?)

Be what you be.

you just gotta make the daishiki work. tad's off base - retro's not the way to go. recontextualize the 'shiki. use the tools of the oppressor to overthrow him!

I mean on a larger level, why in our culture are clothes so regimented -made into a uniform. And ethan i think the name calling is uncalled for.

I'm going to use a pile of daishikis to sculpt a replica of the Devil's Tower.

Modern science admits that you are not necessarily what you eat, but what you eat don't make me shit.
