onedeuce said it was to signify jail time. Is this something their community finds pride in?

It comes from the jail houses where they fitted the inmates w/ pants much too large, therefore exposing their underwear. These people, when released, would wear the same style around their hometown to let ppl know that their from jail and have served time. So, it became cool. Or so I heard on VH1

I would imagine they hold up their pants with one hand because they have not discovered the wonders of the belt to keep them from falling down.
