So, if something was said, somehow you
Pick UP
that the intent for wearing the shirt was to try to offend, then you would get offended?

I'd probably just shake my head at his ignorance

BTW, the text, so far as i can remember was
I am a proud Black (Man / Woman)
and I will stand with my black brothers and sisters

now here memory fails, but I believe it was against injustice, inequality, etc

As Mn Spring said, put 'white' in there, and certain groups would be up in arms
Take color out, and I might wear the shirt

it's intended as a statement of solidarity, but the author, and those who wear it, are missing the nascent racism and exclusionary message

Much racism is unintentional, like the fella who told me 'I like you red, you ain't like most white folks'
Complimentary intent? yes
Racist?
Hmmm
has he actually MET most white folks?
no
yup, racist, but not intended to insult
I'm not a fragile flower, so i didn't take offense

So, what wording is even possible?
As Mn Spring said, put 'white' in there, and certain groups would be up in arms
Take color out, and I might wear the shirt

What would it say?
I'm a proud human and I stand with all humanity?

I've never believed that having a clue where someone's great great great gramps was born would allow me to know whether or not that person is honest ,decent, or anything.
I wanna know about racists.
IF they dislike people just because of the difference in skin color,then don't they Have to equally Like everyone who isn't different?

Yeah, like that's gonna happen. It seems like people have to justify their existence by belittling somebody else.

racists like other racists OF THE SAME BRAND OF RACISM, and are blind to their foibles
like certain celebrities saying'There is no such thing as a black racists'
Bulldookey
I've met a slew of 'em
also white ones, Latino ones, and Asian ones
The fact I've never met a native American racist is probably because I've met very few Native Americans

some folks call it 'reverse racism' when you're racist (or they think you are) against 'your own kind' (black folks who hate / believe bad stuff about other blacks being the most obvious example)
Of course, that would really just be racism

You're right, Art, but my point is the term "reverse". It implies that only one group can be racist. That's racist as well.

Racism is racism no matter who you are. I'm just tired of the word being thrown around if someone doesn't get their way.

I've heard it used about something completely frivolous. If a person didn't get cheese on their burger, even though they ordered cheese, the fast food restaurant must practice racism. It's garbage like this that takes the sting out of real racism. You can't pull the race card about everything!
