(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...

People are fickled and like to follow popular culture. And within the Black community, it's sorta "in" to be conscious...or appear to be

My friend here at school had on a "Free Sadaam Houssain" (sp.) tee shirt.... It's crazy because it had the picture of him down in that dirt hole! But I haven't asked him why he likes that shirt yet but I will! I liked that Bob vs. Beef comparison..... and understood it completely! Gots to say I agree wit it... Kids won't read if they don't have too! Adults barely read!!!!!!!!! I heard about the public school system banning the snowman tee-shirts and the cartoon and cereal character tee- shirts.... Thats crazy!!!

i can't stand those shirts either; rather than having to go through the trouble of explaining to dumb uneducated people what "fcuk" stands for, i'd rather just wear a shirt that says the uncensored f-word on it

to be honest, if they came back they'd be like "Why the hell am i on a t-shirt? when the person wearing it isn't projecting what i fought, bled and died for" But i only think Malcolm would say that.. Funny Story This dude had Che Guvera on his shirt.. so i said Hey nice Che shirt.. it had big bold red letters that said CHE on it... he's like whose Che? i am like Che Guvera? he's like who? then i pointed to his shirt he said "oh the **** on my shirt" ok.. so it wasn't funny, but it was at the time.. i guess you kinda had to be there.

That pretty much explains it. BTW, is it just me or does it seem that the biggest tattle-tellers are the ones who wear the " Stop Snitchin' " shirts?
