Was this inspired by our discussion of Mr. T's old article?

One thing I'd add is most of the people who compliment my outfits are black guys, and they do so in the most poetic and laconic way. When I wore a fake Gucci bad, a black guy at the mall said, "Got some designer on you," and when I wore limited edition green 990s some black construction workers remarked, "With the green newbies!" White people would either think it's gay to comment or they'd say something boring and stiff.
