Black Man Wears ‘Caucasians’ T-Shirt To Gauge Hypocrisy About Racist Logos

Nothing exposes racism like turning the tables and watching racist people react with hilarious angry hypocrisy.

"The shirt is a play on the Washington “Redskins” logo to demonstrate how people look wearing apparel with a logo that is blatantly racially charged and disrespectful.

The shirt doesn’t have any rude language or slurs such as “crackers” or “honkies”... but that didn’t matter"

I left @SXMProgress after just doing an interview with @XorjeO and it was my first time in public with the shirt on.

A white guy walking by mistook the shirt for an actual team shirt and yelled “Go Skins!” I said “nah”, he then saw my shirt and yelled “asshole!”

------

Next, an older white lady stopped me in the street and said “why would you wear that? It’s disrespectful!”

So I asked her if she would have said the same if I had on the actually team shirt or another team using disrespectful branding.

She said “no, because that’s the logo!”

-------

The third person or rather people was a group of white guys across the street and one pointed at me. I can see from the corner of my eye that two of them were seemingly trying to come across the street and have a word with me.

I wish they would have, but that’s here nor there.

-------

As I walked through Manhattan, people looked at me and rolled their eyes, pointed, made snide comments, etc.

But, I’ve never seen white people do the same when people are wearing “Redskins” apparel, which is actually racist versus the word “caucasians” and a white man logo.

I would have given him a, "nice one!" had I run into him.

People have real issues seeing the perspective of others, as in they are unable to.
 
Should have been a "Paleface" t-shirt.

That being said, I'm going to guess that some of the reactions maybe people not so made at the "racism" of the shirt, but them recognizing that the guy is just being a troll with the shirt. If I saw somebody wearing this shirt, my first reaction would be "this guy is just trying to get a reaction out of me" at which point I'd consider him a jerk.

THAT being said, I really don't see much of an issue with Native American team names/mascots. I do think "Redskins" is pretty harsh, and Chief Wahoo of the Indians is a pretty racist cartoon depiction. I think it is up to those tribes native to that area to decide and voice their opinion on. You'll never get a nation-wide consensus from the tribes so going locally seems like at least a step with some logic behind it.
 
I think that if he wore that shirt around me, I never would notice it. He's got nice tats (serious, I like the geometrics).

Well played.

Yeah, that works too. If he gave a shit he wouldn't be whoring a shirt but be out there for the government to honor the law and treaty it created so long ago after the genocides.

My people were made almost extinct and treated worse than he, forced to live on trash land and dishonored and cheated. All I get was a stupid shirt.

Actually, nope. He wanted to be as unoffensive as possible. He purposely did not use paleface or cracker or whitey for that reason. He wanted to give no reason for it to appear intentionally offensive or demeaning.

I like it. Reminds me of a while back I saw some funny faux protest on a college campus for 'END WOMEN'S SUFFERAGE' and they got all these signatures from chicks. I love when ignorance and hypocrisy are pointed out.

Makes me want to get one (1/8th Cherokee as well, not that it matters).

I at once agree, but also think he could do both. Advocacy at once involves concrete and symbolic action; I like the thought of reminding people on the street that hey, these racist caricatures of native Americans aren't acceptable just because they're on sports jerseys.
 
Yeah, i'm absolutely positive he's completely full of shit.

NOBODY got upset and whined about racism when seeing his shirt. The guy is looking for attention and probably gets paid for page hits.
 
I think that shirt is pretty clever.

I spent 30 years of my life as someone local to the football team, and never thought of the issue much. I might have said at the time the issue emerged that objection to the name "Redskins" was much-ado-about-nothing, no less than I view all the college campus spats about "free spaces" and "micro-aggressions." But the objections come from the right corner.

And since about 2010 with the Tea Party demonstrations, I've been of the view that the "political innovators" were glorifying a group of covert-operators who scapegoated Natives in their raid.

Ah! Such a Gurr-eat country with such a Gurr-eat history! Die, Custer! Die!
 
Click bait fail.

None of these confrontations happened, especially in Manhattan. You see all kinds of ironic and offensive t-shirts walking around NY, so I highly doubt this one received any special attention.

The only confrontations that happened were the ones fabricated in the mind of the person wearing the t-shirt.
