my friend came with me to the beach today....he's black and wore shoes...i was like dude why are you gonna wear shoes to the beach?....he didnt even bring trunks to get in the water (which was really nice today..like 70 degrees)

so my question is this: why do black people (and a lot of hood type mexicans. tj mexicans are down to rock the flops) never wear flip flops? is it cause they don't like nautical shit? which raises another question...if you grew up in southern cali, no matter what your race, what is the reason to not like the beach? and im not talking about go to the beach to bonfire bullshit...but i mean like getting in the water and swimming and shit. if lil wayne starts reppin body surfing and wearing flip flops is that all it will take for black people to start experimenting with the ocean? not that i think its a bad thing, just a sociological curiosity.

and for the record, i dont ever really wear flip flops, except for the beach. if i ever wore flip flops with jeans i would feel awkward like some whitey magee...but whats your guys' take on this?
you know it's funny cause i got friends who wear flip flops that are black and they don't give a fuck...we go out on the boat and shit...fuck shoes...jeans don't work either lol...shorts and flip flops...and these aren't square dudes...they're pretty "hood" as you say, LOL :) smokin blunts and swimming off a boat is pretty fun tho.

mayeb they see flip flops as white people hippie shit...some of them at least. there's all sorts of stereotypes about every race...

like the stereotype that black people can't swim. which isn't true...cause my homies can swim...

I don't wear sandals (yeah I call them sandals... flip flops sounds gay as fuck) unless I'm going to the beach or pool or some shit... or camping...

and I don't wear the ones with the little thing in between your toes and shit

I got black Nike sandals... with the velcro strap



^ I don't have these actual ones... but that style wit the strap like that

as far as black people wearing them... yeah I guess there are some black people who don't like wearing them... one of my boys who's black doesn't wear them... but that's just because he doesn't own a pair... and also because he has some of the most fucked up disgusting looking feet I've ever seen... so I don't really lame him

^^that's what i wear. I haven't worn flip flops since i was kid. Those sandals you posted are a convenience around the house and/or going out to the water.
