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?

im just saying, a lot of black people seem to be against flip flops/foot thongs. not just black people, but a lot of mexicans too (mexicans seem to like the beach though...even though theyll go in shoes and jean shorts...and be all in the water in jean shorts and wife beaters). basically most asians and whites seem to love flip flops and wear them all the time..land or water......i simply find it interesting that a lot of black ppl for some reason don't.

I'm going to break it down.


My white ass used to live in Orlando, and because of the occasion... I actually broke down and bought/wore a pair of flip flops.

Growing up as a kid, I always LOVED getting new sneakers. I had two pair of every Grant Hill Fila's that came out, a few pairs of J's, and ridiculous amounts of Converse/Rbks. New shoes as a kid would put me on this high, because I always kept them clean, they were always comfortable as fuck, and I played a whole lot of basketball.

Anyway I buy my first pair of "flip flops" aka thong sandals at teh age of 19. Never wore this fucking things before IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Matter of fact, I never owned anything BUT sneakers. So I walk around the house with them a lil bit and break them in. Feeling like I got the hang of it, I try walking down a set of stairs (10 steps) and I almost killed my gott damn self in the process. Flip Flops are straight retard shoes to people who never knew how to walk in them. You can't fucking run in them, your feet get dirty wearing them, they get all nasty looking after 3 days. I just couldn't grasp the toe to heel concept needed to use flip flip sandals. It was just very unnatural for me. Thats why people don't really mess with flip flops. They're all mostly sneaker heads anyway and can't get used to it even if they try, let alone wanna walk around with the toes hanging out and shit.


And yeah, thats me in the picture with all those girls. It was at Daytona Beach, I ended up gettin grinded on by the 2nd from my right (SEXY ASS BODY) at the club later that evening. Me and my homie got a number from the girls we were feelin, but they lived in Louisiana or something and we never called either of them after that day.


The snake is a prop some drunk ass white girl from Vegas gave me. ALWAYS have one interesting accessory on wherever you go. You'd be surprised how many girls would just walk up and grab it...

the way some of yall ask questions about other ethnicities makes it seem like you grew up sheltered in a bubble and just had your first encounter with a different group of people.

there we go....the sneaker head theory. good points...im sure this mixed with a couple other reasonings could explain the blacks and flip flops refusal

i know...the question does sound like im really ignorant or sheltered....far from the case...i hate to say i grew up with and still have lot of close black friends just to defend myself....but i did, so i wouldnt consider myself sheltered

i guess if i would of asked it sounding more like....how come yall niggaz aint ever be rockin gay ass flip flops?........it'd probably make me sound a little less like a nerd



what about the beach and water explanation though? is it wrong to say that a lot of black people do not like swimming at the beach? is the "no pools in the ghetto" really the main reason for that?
