southpole, ... Options

[picaso_smile]

I don't mean this in any racist way... But some brands are just marketed to certain groups.

Do you think that Southpole is an African American brand? I heard it was... but then I've also seen nonAfrican American people wearing it. Does that make them wiggers?

[inthemudhole]

A lot of white, ghetto-wannabes wear South Pole at my school.. I don't know about other races, though.. basically everyone here is white. O_o

[Nicolatofu]

There are many brands/magazines/tv shows whatever that may seem to direct what they have to offer to a certain audience. I've noticed a lot of black people wear that particular brand, but I don't think that makes the people who aren't white wearing it wiggers...?

Yess. Ding ding ding ding.

[freeflow]

well i wear south pole even though im african american and i see alot of other non african amercans wearing south pole . just like a&f theres alot of african americans wearing that ( even though its not that common) or american eagle african americans wear that tooo but i personally think it should be a brand for anyone . too me it seems like a brand for everyone



wiggers? to some people YES too me NOT REALLY

[misoshiru]

oh...since i live in taiwan, i've never heard of that brand, and no one at my school wears them.

[captured_serenit...]

southpole? well most clothes are aimed for a certain group, but that doesn't matter because everyone wants to be their own person right?

but i haven't heard....probably ghetto white people and some african-american wears them and i just don't notice...sorry...

[dOyOOHtHINK]

i dont think it was generated towards blacks... but you just see more of them wearing it because its their style.. i got a southpole shirt from my aunt from x-mas and im white.. it doesnt make us wiggers.. i shop anywhere.. thrift store, hollister, hot topic, old navy, all those department stores... south pole is just a brand... like hollister... its made for all people.. but i have only seen like 3 black people that have ever worn hollister... i guess its just the brand/style they prefer most..

[jennyjenny]

You mean like Enyce, Ecko, Fubu, and Phatfarm...
and how they're supposedly an African American brand?

And how Aero, Abercrombie, AE, Hollister and them are supposed to be for whites?

I know what you mean.

[miss barnes]

^^^ yea thats true

at my school its mostly black people that wear southpole, myself included. I've only seen like 5 white people wear southpole. They usually wear that abercrombie, ae, or umm...i dont know what else they wear. My school is predominately (sp?) black so its hard to answer this..

[Xprezsion]

That's true that some brands cater to certain ethnic groups. For example:
African Americans: Rocawear, Sean John, South Pole, Ecko, G- Unit, Phat Farm, Baby Phat, Enyce.
White people: Abercrombie, Holister, American Eagle, Aeropostale (Sometimes asian too).

Although I'm not Africna American I still like Ecko Red because the Rhino is cool and Baby Phat because the cat is cute. The fonder of Ecko is actually white I think, I saw and interview with im a year ago and the founder of Baby Phat is part asian, so I don't think people should give you a problem with what you wear.

[Shattered_Hope]

I've never even heard of this brand...

[sunissed14127]

I dont think it makes them wiggers. I like South Pole clothes....If I had a SP store here, I'd buy stuff from there. I guess, you can say the clothes are kinda...uhh....on the "ghetto" side???

[xCrAzYPnAix]

ok who gives a flyin f*ck?! b/c even tho i am asian and my whole school is white, n racist!!!! i wore abercrombie n people still think that im ghetto...as in sterotyping...i think it dosent matter what you wear its how u wear it...

[miss barnes]

southpole isnt a "store". just certain stores sell it. how are they on ghetto side?

agreed.

[ANG33ZY]

Ahh. It's just a brand for everyone to wear.

[FLIPxADDICTION]

gangster's at my school wear that brand. those people always make fun of me....

[mai_z]

I've never heard of Southpole, but most brands are marketed towards a certain style, rather than a certain race. Generally you see people of different races dressing to different styles.

[KrunkMuzik]

I Hate SouthPole! Well..at least like the T-Shirts...theyre gay! SouthPole is not a black brand.......wtf? Latins, Blacks, Whites....they all wear it. Ecko is way better though

[sweetxsimplicity]

That's true that some brands cater to certain ethnic groups.  For example:
African Americans: Rocawear, Sean John, South Pole, Ecko, G- Unit, Phat Farm, Baby Phat, Enyce.
White people:  Abercrombie, Holister, American Eagle, Aeropostale (Sometimes asian too).

Although I'm not Africna American I still like Ecko Red because the Rhino is cool and Baby Phat because the cat is cute.  The fonder of Ecko is actually white I think, I saw and interview with im a year ago and the founder of Baby Phat is part asian, so I don't think people should give you a problem with what you wear.

Hey, don't be so racist! Any kind of people can wear any kind of brand. And I've seen many white people wear all the brands that you named for african americans and african americans where all the brands you just named for whites. So watch what you say next time.

[xGlovex]

um i dont wear it. i wear abercrombie, aeropostale, hollisters etc....

[sweetdreamsx3]

I agree with Nicole.

[heyyfrankie]

i don't think it makes them wiggers. but it just mean that they like a clothing line that most black people wear. i think that southpole was made everyone but it is a majority of black customers.

[babyxyelloe]

its true that southpole and rocawear has a majority of african-american people wearing the brand, but isnt it just like abercrombie and holister? same difference.

[mysticalazxn]

Southpole
is black ppl brand or gangsta wanna be!
not being racist but it 100% true!

[synthase]

nope never heard of the store xo

[Shahin]

The clothing people wear does not have anything to do as to whether they are a 'wigger' or not. I wear Southpole clothing. Granted, it's only the jeans I buy (cuhz they are the only things that are worth buying from that brand). People would swear that I'm white, even though I am moderatly tanned because of my Middle Eastern backround, I'm Iranian. Does it make me a wigger that I wear Southpole clothing?

Do I come across as a wigger in this (Cb)? I understand that wearing baggy clothing can make a guy look imposing. Shit, I look imposing enough wearing clothing like AE (which I only rarely wear because I don't think I look good in it).

I think the persons personality has far more to do with the said persons ''wigger-ness'' haha. If a white guy runs up to you and greets you with a ''sup nigga'' or a ''whats good wit ya blood'' then yeah, my first inclination is to treat him like a fake ass wigger.

Also, I can understand peoples dressing if they have lived in relatively rough places. I've lived in Los Angeles and San Jose, two pretty rough places to live. I'm FAR better off now, living in a quiet city where not much happens. But I think the white guy who's living in let's say Oakland has far more right to wear anything he wants and to front like he wants than the average white boy living in Pleasanton.

I understand where people can come from thinking that if a white guy is wearing ecko/southpole/roca wear or whatever the hell it is, that guy is branded a wigger. But hey, get to know the guy first and you'll find that some people can be completely different than yuo perceive at first.

Yeah...I don't talk like this at all in person. But I definatly don't say wassup with a ''wats good wit ya blood''. I got more black friends than white, I don't know why, prolly jus cuhz of where I've lived in my past, I can relate to them more - because most of them aren't from here either, majority come from Oakland, Hayward, philly, or san jo

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

You're ignorant and innacurate.

Clothing does not brand people.

[Shahin]

^ See, if she says it, it must be true.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Heh. Shit, I wear South Pole, LRG, Enyce, and Ecko. I am not black. If you think I'm a wannabe, you can surely lick my ass.

[Im So Vain]

I don't mean this in any racist way... But some brands are just marketed to certain groups.

Do you think that Southpole is an African American brand? I heard it was... but then I've also seen nonAfrican American people wearing it. Does that make them wiggers?

Why does it matter? Southpole is lame anyways. Is there a brand that doesen't target a certain group of people? It's how they make sales, and there's nothing wrong with that. The reason why they do it is because they know that group of people are more likely to purchase their merchandise.

... Was that sarcasm.

[AnnahhbeL]

Lol. I can see where it can come off as looking like sarcasm. But no, it wasn't.

[*ranniel*]

Southpole
is black ppl brand or gangsta wanna be!
not being racist but it 100% true!

agreed.

[iDecay]

*shrugs* At my school, it's either the asian or the hispanics who wear it. There's no African American kids at our school. Umm... well, the people who wear them aren't "wiggers." I have to admit though, most of them are wanabes.

nope never heard of the store xo

It's not a store, it's a brand of clothing. They sell it at depertment stores like Robinson's May or JCPenny.

[shortiiex]

i wear a lot of southpole...i don't it is an african american brand
i only wear teh sweaters..which is really comfy


but it shrinks easilyyy

[Chii]

You mean like Enyce, Ecko, Fubu, and Phatfarm...
and how they're supposedly an African American brand?

And how Aero, Abercrombie, AE, Hollister and them are supposed to be for whites?

I know what you mean.

i only agree with fubu. fubu is an african american brand or at least started out as one. For Us, By Us

I've never heard of Southpole, but most brands are marketed towards a certain style, rather than a certain race. Generally you see people of different races dressing to different styles.

i agree, brands are marketed toward certain types of people, not by their race.
