-GD-X★ 7,914 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 What’s wrong with the shirt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Sauce 2,750 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I wouldn't have given that shirt a second look without being told, but that's pretty funny and I can see why it would be offensive. Don't know why this guy thinks it's some malicious move by Vince, though, since I doubt Vince even knows this guy exists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is the black shirt supposed to be black face, the red the mouth, and the letters the teeth? Edited October 27, 2019 by -GD- Quote Link to post Share on other sites

First, let me say that I 100% agree that people are too sensitive these days and need to learn to take a joke. That said, I do see something wrong with this shirt. Having a bunch of your merchandise out there, associated with your name, that was essentially a spit in the face to you and your race, would definitely not sit well with you. It's obvious the intent was to make fun... but also done in such a way that it wasn't meant to be immediately apparent to anyone. Meaning it's shady as fuck. For me... there's a huge difference between things like that cosplay girl making a really awesome bodysuit of a character she wanted to portray properly... and then they stereotypical blackface shit with the pure black, exaggerated big lips, and white eyes/teeth that's obviously meant to hurt/make fun of people. I really wish those two things weren't thrown under the same umbrella because there's a huge difference between them. I'm not a person of color though.. but if there's one thing I wished, it would be that we could all separate things like this.. so that people who have good intentions, don't need to feel fear that they'll be labeled as racist or other such things, for simply wanting to represent characters and people who are a different race than they are. But this shirt... it's turning something that should be a positive representation, into something negative. It's just unnecessary.

madmaltese★ 2,699 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I wouldn't have ever picked up on it if I wasn't told but I sort of see it now. Regardless though, It's his name and character being used so surely it should be something that he is happy to have represent him. He clearly isn't in this case so he's fair to get unhappy about it.

It’s not like there’s a piece of fried chicken, some water melon, and the mouth saying “yessum masta” or “imz a good boy” on the shirt. the shirt wouldn’t look good white either. I hate this current social climate. Edited October 28, 2019 by -GD- Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. No one thought it was racist before until his insecurities were tweeted out for the world to see. it is simply a black colored shirt with his name in the shape of a mouth.
