People who perceive sagging pants as a negative image also create campaigns to end the sagging trend. Ending the sagging trend is also discouraging because you’re attempting to end a style of fashion in African-American culture. Meshorn Daniels and Peter Hayes are two promoters who campaign against sagging pants and see those who sag their pants as a negative image. They want kids in Louisville and the rest of the country to pull up their pants.
They argue that the sagging-pant fashion trend promotes an unhealthy lifestyle of gangs, crime and violence. They have launched the Pull Up Your Pants education campaign, designed to persuade young people to abandon the look. Especially pants often worn so low that their underwear, or more, is exposed. Today this type of dress is associated with gangsters and criminal activity. They also imply that kids learn to pull up their pants before they can speak in full sentences and children can not go out in public without being dressed, yet suddenly grown adults do not know the difference. Blacks in the community see this campaign as an insult within their culture, while other races see this as a negative image.
