Monica’s Lil Thug Rock

R&B songstress Monica has been catching hell over at Celebrity Baby Blog for dressing her son like a Mini Biggie Smalls(Smallie Biggs?) in Rocawear and Sean John with matching bandannas. People are acting like they gave him a gun to go with his sippy cup! He looks ready to mug the kids on the playground for their juice boxes. She basically said she dresses him like that because he’s black and all black men dress that way. That’s not true. All black men who live in the ghetto, or wish they did, who have guns or sell drugs, or enjoy the glorification of all of that, dress that way. Why would you want that for your 2-year-old? Its sad when you use the color of your skin as an excuse to dress your child like someone who is such a bad example for who a child should want to grow up to be. I think he looks darling, but that’s probably because my mother dressed me in a flour sack until I was in the 5th grade. Monica was quick to defend her fashion choices: How he dresses reflects nothing that I teach him. Morals and values are instilled in our home and in our lives. And for those that choose to speak negative, I simply must say take a look at self and dissect the problems within before you try to look at my life and dissect mine. My son is loved, blessed, favored by God and supported by many. I bet you dollars to Doogie Howser, M.D.s that the same people crowing about Lil Rock’s outfits are the same one who dress their 10 year old daughters in thongs and buy them Bratz dolls. Nothing like a little Prosti-tot hypocrisy to flavor-pardon me flava your day.
