This is not a joke. I don't think it is because they are lazy, and don't want to get dressed for work. I haven't seen other races doing this. It's not because I was in their home, this is in public at the local Wal-mart, The Mall, The grocery store, etc. Just seems like another crazy trend to me. I thought maybe some TV or Music Idol started this trend.

Could be for the same reason so many white people are walking around barefoot. Just comfy for them.

Ok... I'm black, and I actually have seen this before... so I'm not going to take offense to the generalization of your question. Personally, I prefer to put on some shoes or at least flip flops to leave my house. But, for the most part, I believe that they just don't give a damn at that particular moment. In the situations where I have seen black people wearing slippers in public, they were just running in to a store or something. So, they probably just take the attitude that they aren't out trying to impress anyone, they just want to go get some milk or something. So, why go thru all the trouble of actually getting dressed? It may have something to do with laziness... or the fact that there are other things to be concerned about in their lives, that they don't worry about what other people think. Seriously, how does black people wearing slippers in public effect your life???? It doesn't.

I agree with you damsel.
This is definitely a trendy fad that will go away just like Nike shoes
and MJ. Nothing last forever.
Now, for the girl that said blacks are lazy, you better watch what
you write on here. All other nationalities don't have jobs and homes. You need to keep to the question and leave person feeling out. Excuse me Damsel, but she made me mad.

Maybe they've been watching hood movies. I step outside my home sometimes with my slippers. Never in public like a mall or grocery store, Puleeez! Us black folks can be colorful and crazy!

Maybe they just live next door to the store and like a lot of people, just "popping out to the store" to get some Orio Cookies!

I've seen white people do the same thing...As another person said on here to be comfy at least they have something on there feet!
Some people can't wear certain shoes due to health problems. Look at it this way if you like as I mention before they at least have something on.

this is an idiotic question why do you ask a question about black people and your not even black and when a blk person asks about a white person it just looks dumb god most americans(you)are so ignorant to the world who cares if blk ppl like to wear slippers outside white people walk around barefooted no one says anything just who cares what every other race is doing focus on yourself and stop asking racists questions!

because they are ghetto and dont know what not to do. Im not putting my own race down its just that...its kinda embarrassing coming from my side. People like that are making us blacks who have sense look bad. We all arent like that. But they do that maybe cuz it might be slightly more comfortable...i dont tho. Tacky is what i hate..with the passion.
