    Default Can I wear this?

    I have an awesome sense of humor and I love this shirt but I wouldn't want to offend anybody. I'd probably just wear it to class or something and I talk to all of the black people in the class all the time and they know my personality.. Could I wear this or should I steer clear?

    Sweet. Thanks I was talking to a black female friend of mine over myspace and I just love her attitude and just got to thinking I know a lot of black women with her fierce attitude and found that shirt. You gals rock!

    I think it's cute! I doubt anyone would take offense to that, I mean...what can anyone really say, right?

    I dunno. I would probably ask some genuinely black people to get their spin on what their opinion was if they saw some random ass chick wearing the tee.

    but then again, hot girls can get away with most everything so it's probably not an issue.

    Go for it

    Just my opinion, if it was the other way around and I saw a black girl wearing an "I love white people" T shirt, I wouldn't be offended.

    I am black, and I think if you wear it to school, only wear it to school. The reason I say this is because you said that every black person there knows you, and talks to you etc. so they will probably find it humorous. But if I were to see someone (that I didn't know) with that shirt on in the grocery store, mall, etc. I would probably think they were trying to be somewhat of a smartass. Just my 2cents

    I thinks the shirts cute but I can see why you would be wary wearing it. I guess its fine if your in the company of people you know but maybe not when going shopping or whatever.

    Yeah, I'd laugh if I saw that. But honestly, people can be sensitive and take offense when none is meant so I probably wouldn't wear the shirt.

    I have a similar question, about a tshirt that says 'Niger Lover' (with a picture of Niger, the country). Just curious- I'm not one for 'crazy' tshirts, but it's appealingly funny to me. Conversation starter? lol

    FTR, I wouldn't wear the t in the OP, just cuz it has the vague implication that the quality of 'being black' is the defining characteristic that makes you 'heart' black people. I know that's not the case, that's just why I wouldn't wear it.

    I think it's a bad idea. Now, I'm all for the wry sense of humor, un-PC type shirts at t-shirthell.com, and even scarlett_van's shirt idea is amusing, but a shirt that doesn't really have any subtext to let people KNOW "J/K, y'all!" Funny shirts are funny because they have subtext, but they also let you know 'this person doesn't mean it.' Your shirt lacks that. I wouldn't know if you were being sarcastic and actually DIDn't like black people, if you were making some ginormous racial assumption that all black people are just super-cool, or if you genuinely meant it but couldn't convey it in normal, societally acceptable terms. I say no...

    I couldn't. I understand you're wearing it in earnestness. I love some black people, not all of them, just like I don't love all lighter skinned people. I don't know. If I saw a black chick walking around with an "I love white people" shirt, I would feel a little uncomfortable, because I wouldn't understand what she was really meaning by wearing that. Just my opinion. Maybe I'm too sensitive. Or, too scared .

    I'm with CC about the subtext. I just really don't like this shirt. Its makes me think, "You love black people? um yeah duh, why wouldn't you? Why would you feel the need to announce it to the world unless you felt that it somehow makes you special to "love" black people?

    You're cool and all, but right now you remind me of the people they're making fun of on this site:

    ^^Haha...I love that site. It's the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread. If I thought people would take it in the same spirit as that site, I'd wear it.

    Again with the subtext. There's plenty of information on that site for a reasonable person to get that it's a joke. I'm not sure I'd wear that t-shirt or not. I would, however, go ga-ga for a shirt that said "Black people love me".

    Quoted for truth.... you are one smart cookie.

    IMO the shirt is dumb.

    I'm not black but I would most likely think less of you if I saw you walking down the street in that.

    It's just... pointless... not even funny....
