Roy - there are so many things you think you have all figured out yet in reality, know jack ****. You're seriously trying to make a mountain of a molehill here (and somehow failing miserably and making an ass of yourself in the process). As Jesus said, I never had any intention of riding through your neighborhood - or anywhere else, for that matter - in blackface. Maybe I should have responded to mihlbach's post about riding in corpse paint by saying I'd follow him around wearing a pink gorilla suit. I chose to say "blackface" because of the sheer ridiculousness of it and didn't mean to get your diaper all in a bunch.

You may need to do a little research, 'ol boy, because dreadlocks have been around for just as long in other - ahem...white - cultures for just about as long (if not longer). It's well-documented that Celtic, Norse, Scottish and Viking warriors were all known to have gnarly dreads as a way to strike fear in the hearts of their enemies - the longer a warrior's dreads symbolized how long they had been warriors and those with the longest dreads were viewed as the most fierce because they had done more battle time than those with shorter locks. Black people do not own the rights to dreadlocks, Roy. Get over it.

You make it sound like I've got an entire clothing line featuring pictures of lynchings and ****. I've made one shirt that was borderline "offensive" and the only people it offended were those who either didn't get the KISS reference or people who are so busy looking for things to be offended by that they refuse to realize that they don't need to take offense to things just because they "should". If you think of Nazi Germany every time you see two certain letters together, perhaps there's something wrong with your mind. If you don't like my shirts, don't buy them. Play it real safe and shop at Old Navy.
