What do Oodles, Flat Top, Prune Face, Cheater Gunsmoke, and Big Boy all have in common? No they aren’t rappers. They are characters in the Dick Tracy comic book series, and like black people they like matching from head to toe.
Black people match head to toe in assorted classic ways; a powder blue Nike track suit, Sean Paul cashmere pajamas, color coordinated sweatbands like AI and Melo on the Nuggets (see #1 Making Fashion Statements), or big single color suits like the gangsters in Dick Tracy. Black people will often invest in numerous pairs of shoes to match their baseball caps that will most certainly match their Tall Tees.
A big part of matching head to toe is color coordination. If you walk into a predominately black people club, not only will you find 50 cent, but you will most assuredly find black people that look like the 7 or 8 Crayola crayons you have been missing since grade school, or those really obnoxious M&M’s. You can admire from a far, but saying something like, “Look at all the colors,” is a bad idea as this statement will most certainly be misunderstood, frowned upon, and could result in a serious beating.
Metals are another element that black people use to match head to toe. Black people will match their gold sun glass rims to their gold grills and their platinum chains to their platinum rings. Speaking of accessories, black people often go beyond matching just their person. A black person will match their outfit with the interior of their car, the rubber bands holding their cornrows, the garnish in their drink, wearing green and it’s a lime, red and it’s a cherry etc., the food they chose to eat, and even their wallet, debit card, and choice of candy bar. If it doesn’t match, they won’t have anything to do with it, until they change their color scheme of course.
So if you are buying your one black friend something at the gas station it is important to remember what they were wearing, but if you forget your safest bet is always a Hershey’s Bar, they will always be wearing some of that color.

Just stumbled on this site-HILLARIOUS!!! Being “black”, I totally understand the “stereotypes” that have gone on for decades. I just hope that the people who are trying to be “politically correct” loosen their ties and enjoy the humor in it all…
don’t you mean co-ordinating with each other…never come across the ‘uniform’ concept…?
can you really tell me whats wrong with matching? i can see to the point to wear the shirt, pants,and shoes match. but not to the point to wear you have to go buy a new pair of shoes just to go out.
and this blog should refer to little white girls. not blacks
um little white girls look like trash. i doubt this would be about them.
there is such a thing as too matchy matchy
Found this by mistake. Not sure what to say about this, actually. I guess I now have a more honest idea of what you think…I’ll just keep that in mind next time I deal with some folks. I think posts like this do attract some ignorant people like what’s seen in these comments, though… I’m really glad the actual entry didn’t resort to using horrible names for blacks.
SOCKS AND DRAWS, WALLEES AS WELL!
Most of this is not true and it’s all bout bein FRESH Thts something white ppl hav a hard time being…
I had to snap picture of my boy Kenyatta today. His hat, sneakers, backpack, and his cloths perfectly matched the red and yellow of the Bojangles he was eating. I was like “Damn, Black people are so coordinated they even match their food!”
