Insurance Agent Buys Anti-Sagging Pants Billboard

Alot of black boys/men sags their pants for the sake of being cool, but the truth of the matter is that there is nothing cool in showing off you behind.


A businessman in Tennessee has a message for young African American men: Pull up your pants.

Insurance agent Fred Davis shelled out $6,000 of his own money to buy this billboard.
It says "Show your mind. Not your behind."

Davis believes men who sag their pants portray an image of crime and poor education.
"If you want to be upwardly mobile, you can't present that image to people who are qualified to make a decision about you."

Davis is also a civil rights activist who marched alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr..

He says they fought for future generations to move up a little higher, not for "thuggish mentality."
