"Barbarism is the foundation of civilization." -p.p.
No.
For one thing, I've enver seen a black person wearing a kimono, and
another, "FUBU" stands for "FOR Us By Us", not just, say "By Us".

'fraid not.
Means For black people.

I believe "wigger" refers to "hip hop" (*shudder, I hate THAT word) "poseurs".
> "Nuff said.
Quit saying that.

Duh.....
then again i still also don't beleive in the same interpretation of the
phrase .....
anywayz....
and "wigger" stands for "wanna-be nigger".... which is why i don't like
the word....it has no reference to hip.... if u don't
understand....though u probably do....i was making a point that DJ calls
someone a "wigger" (nigger is used to degrade black people) while he
enjoys hip hop (an African American music style which was started by
black people)....see my point....

No shit.
Trends disgust me.

Or maybe I just live in a small, isolated town, where there are about five
African-Americans in a school of 1200 kids. No, I'm not exaggerating. It
really is that bad.

I just get the meaning that the company used to name itself.
If you don't like the fact that Fubu clothes are, in essence, rascist,
then write the compnay about it.

HOW DARE YOU.... i'm black as i was born baby....
So this would probably explain all of the sexually derogatory comments and questions you have asked in this news group??
and i don't dare come
in here getting as racial as you did.... i'll be damnned if i know what
FuBu stands for but if it infact means what u said.... "For Us"
IMO...means just FOR US ALL.... whether u be black, white, guyanese,
chinese, etc.....all what u said in your post is just as bad as me TRYIN
Can you send me one of those Ebonics dictionaries... I don't think Barnes & Nobles carries them.
to say that just because Tommy Hilfiger is white...only white people can
wear his clothes....now don't THAT sound dumb...
and about the "fat ass wigger"....i suggest you think about what u say
before u contradict yourself.....just as u called him a wigger (a word
i can't stand by the way)... u proclaim to the world that ur an
ever-so-devoted and wonderful HIP HOP fan....just as u listen to Hip Hop
the so-called "wigger" wears fubu....padna.... do urself a favor and
stop kicking your own self in the ass...
"Nuff said.
Geez... if I had a dime for every sentence in here that you have butchered... I could retire before even FINISHING college!! Good luck in life!!!
>when I ask them what Fubu stands for, they don't know. and I
>tell them it stands for "For Us By Us" meaning the black race
Well, FUBU sells 40% of their product to non-Blacks and the number
keeps increasing...

Motown.
That's it, I give up with clothing altogether.
I'm going nekkie.
>Beats me... I've never been in a store that sells this crap.
FUBU has some quite upscale distribution -- Macy's, for one.
>Beats me... I've never been in a store that sells this crap.
Probably have and didn't know it.
You can go to their Web site and see what stores carry it.
Quite a few: Macy's, Burdine's, The Bon Marché, Castner Knott, Maison
Blanche, Gayfer's, Herberger's, Joslin's, Carson Pirie Scott, J.C.
Penney, Stern's, Liberty House, Foley's, Kaufmann's, Dayton-Hudson, JB

I'd suspect it's marketing research data.

Haven't been to those.
Kinda helps if you ride off capitalism in general as evil and
exploitative, like I do.

I don't think I can relate to anything called "Friendz 4 eva".
Good point.

Wear them labels with pride. Baa-aa-aa-aa-aa

Stop for a moment. Think of all the worthwhile, helpful things you COULD be doing,
instead of sitting at that keyboard, soaking up radiation.
Then forget about them. If you have the time and security to think of anything besides
survival, you're doing ok.
You make me ill.
I've got a "Your Ad Here" shirt from unamerican.com.
Works just as well.

Yeah, but if I make my own, I can take full credit for it. Nothing
like the satisfaction of making your own non-billboard:)
Too true, my friend.
If only I had a silk-screen...if only.
DIY, baby.
