(Just thinking... don't mind me) Whats good with people who rock images of certain thing and know very little about the person they have on their T-Shirt/Jacket/Hat/etc... For example how many people do you know rock images of Bob Marley but can't give any info on why he's been immortalized in images across the world outside of the fact that he made good music (if they even know his music like that). Or why do some people rock Malcom X shirts but ain't really down for the cause. or why do cats rock Scarface shirts and they know they ain't gangsta (and prolly ain't seen the movie either cus folk act like they ain't seen the end where dude gets murked). What do you think they would say if they came back or were real people...

Not too far fetched... I was watching this Special on A&E last night about skinheads. They worship **** and despise Jews. They had a couple of shirts and things with **** on it that they wore out in public openly. They probably would freak out if they found out **** was part Jew (or deny it). Many of them were part of cause but knew very little about it. They think they are the oppressed ones in this country.

i eat hamburgers without knowing anything about the cow who provided the meat. would it make much of a difference if my burger came with a little information sheet detailing the whole family tree and background of the cow? no; i'd still eat its meat. if bob marley apparel came with fact sheets detailing his life, nobody would read it. hell, we barely even read the regular tags on clothes when we buy them. kids don't care that che guevara... did whatever he did. they just like how he looks cool on cotton.

Yo... You eat meat for nourishment and to get the vitamins, nutrients, and proteins that you need. Even still you are going to know the history of the people you purchase that meat from (you should at least). If you don't research the producer you can end up buying something that will make you sick... would you buy your beef on the street corner from some cat you knew nothing about... but yeah.. on some random stuff comparing Bob to Beef is kinda stretching it lol... You may be a walking billboard for somethings you disagree with completely and don't even know about.
