My words, "Whatever you do, you had better make sure your clothes are IRONED. You KNOW Black people will talk about some dude whose clothes look like they just came out of a laundry basket."
He was forever grateful for the advice...lol.

When should you tell a white man to use an iron?
Before I moved back North, there was an iron and ironing board, that I knew I could not take with me. I gave it to my boyfriend, who was about to take a job as an architect at a historically black college. He had a habit of wearing wrinkled khakis, and the shirts were a little too lived in.
