I still dont really get why having the whole design printed in black is offensive... i dont think there is anything racial or deragatory there , its simply a white shirt with black design. homeboy has become slang for white people too and isnt necessarily offensive. would you feel different if the same design was in pink rather than black?

i dont think its really worth getting so worked up over, but what do i know? *shrug*

In pink it would be merely stupid, instead of stupid AND offensive.

Google the history blackface if you still don't get it.
