Growing up, I loved the T. V. show Family Ties especially Michael J. Fox character because he was intelligent and he always dressed sharp (nice) in a suit.
But.... I grew to hate suits because I only saw people (Black males) wearing suits going to court, funerals, and or to church where they were being forced to attend.
My first suit my mom bought me was my sophomore year in high school because our football coach made us wear a suit every Friday (game day).
It wasn't until I joined the Nation of Islam that the love and interest of wearing a suit came back to my heart and mind.
I was taught that Master Fard Muhammad had us (FOI) to wear suits because he was teaching us and inspiring us to become business men.
Plus He taught as The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan teaches us: "Opposite Attracts. It attracts like a clean glass of water next to a dirty glass water."
