Arrest Black babies before they become criminals

[NoChaser3]

I didn't think that they were seriously selling some of those shirts. I mean, who in the world would wear some of those shirts?

NOBODY.

I thought some of the stuff was funny. The "worsethanhell" page was just that - I believe it is just a subversive website, trying to be controversial and achieving just that.

They don't just pick on black folks - they pick on EVERYONE. I don't like it, so I won't buy a shirt. I'm also not going to pass on that site to others, giving them more pub.

And finally, I'm not sending any e-mails or protesting the site either. They have the right to sell those shirts. Now, if I saw an idiot wearing one, I'd probably call them an idiot.

I looked at a few of their other shirts. I wish I hadn't.

Lawd, lawd, lawd....save our babies! sisters, one day we see a bumper sticker or t-shirt, next day similar happings are in the news. So often our black men are being targeted especially the hard to reach ones. Sisters reach one and teach one to reach and teach a multitude. PLEASE!

Let's continue to brain feed our babies....the unfunny thing is Chris Rock may think its funny but big brother has an eye brow up thinking...."hmmmmm" look at the little 5 year old girl last month that the police handcuffed....coincident?

It's not even funny. I am also reminded of the video tape that came out this year where the troublesome kindergartner was arrested.

*Edited to add the word also because I didn't completely read Pearl's post and I see we were thinking about the same thing.

It's disgusting and does not make sense to me. Now, if it said, "Kick black baby's butts when they do wrong, before they get arrested" then I'd have to say that it's halfway decent.

In another group I am a member of, this link was posted regarding what is "proclaimed" to be justifiable stereotypical humor because comedians such as Chris Rock and David Chappelle perform such jokes in their shows. This link will take you to an online T-shirt company who seems to find humor in drawing an African American baby being handcuffed stating "Arrest Black babies before they become criminals.

What are your thoughts on this and the point this company is attempting to make?
