As I recall, in HS (early 2000’s in Atlanta) you could rock Du-rags before and AFTER school. Not to class. We’d rock em on the bus to school, take them off and put then either in the locker or book bag, and then put them back on when school was out. It wasn’t a big deal.
Du-rahs really became a fashion during this time, we’d have different color du-rags for different outfits lol. nikkas would rock durags RELIGIOUSLY during the weekends, you only rocked your waves if you were out with a girl or at church.
There is ZERO gang affiliation with fukking Durags. Like everything, black americans took a simple item and made it a popular form of fashion, just like White Tee’s. I support the kids fighting against the rocking of durags as a gang affiliation because thats simply racist as fukk. All the administration has to do is say “no head coverings PERIOD and problem solved. But they always wanna go the extra mile and put a little extra racist sauce on some shyt that has to do with black subculture.
