"Don't blame white folks [who don't hire you] with your hair uncombed, your shoes untied, or your pants half down..."

From Eric Dondero:

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter joins the rational, usually 2 to 3% of Democrats in the world who really aren't half bad.

Last Sunday, he went on a rant against black hoodlums flash mobbing in downtown Philly. He told parishioners at a local black church to roars and applause:

If you want us to respect you, take those doggone hoodies down, especially in summer. Pull your pants up and buy a belt. Comb your hair. Learn some manners. Keep your butt in school, and extend your English vocabulary beyond the few curse words that you know.

If you go to look for a job, don’t go and blame it on the white folks or anyone else if you walk in to somebody’s office with your hair uncombed and your shoes untied or your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arms, on your face, on your neck. And you wonder why somebody won’t hire you? They don’t hire you because you look like you’re crazy!
