Why do barbershop quartets wear stripes?

In the early days, barbershop quartets wore red and white stripes to identify with barber poles on the outside of a barbershop. As the popularity of the singing style took hold, many quartets became more formal. Boater hats were popular with the college crowds and the quartets adopted white pants and boater hats to go along with the red and white theme. Arm garters were just plain popular with everybody because few shirts were tailor made to fit arm lengths, but were seldom seen under men's jackets. Because a lot of barbershop quartet singing took place outdoors in the summer, the coats usually came off, and the quartets usually had their red arm garters on. Many of the Ivy League college groups didn't bother with coats. A white shirt, red and white vest, white pants, boater hats, and a red arm garter was the "spiffy" costume of the day for young men singing in the sumer.

Why can blacks show their pride but whites can not fly the rebel flag?

Well to answer your question, the Dixie flag represents the South as it was which was the fight to keep slavery legal. That is what the #1 point of the war was about. So to many people when you fly the Dixie flag you are in essence saying you dont believe in the American or (Union ) flag and you thing the slaves should not have been freed. Now personally I think one of the greatest things about this country is freedom of speech so you have every right in the world to fly your Dixie flag and dont let anyone tell you any different. But there is the reason why you take a little heat. Its like walking down the street and saying "I dont like Nig&ers" I dont like Nig&ers".....While it would be inappropriate and most offensive using it in that manner, you are within your rights.....And just because we have the right to do something doesnt always mean we should! Well it is what it is!
