They always so corny. And the one I hate the most is “we are not our ancestors” like of course not we ain’t built like they was. It’s disrespectful

Lol no. I think it’s saying black men can have joy in life. Outsiders think we don’t have emotions. At least I guess
I don’t like the “I can’t breathe” shirts. Those I won’t make and have declined several times.
I interpret it as
"Because I never sold dope I don't deserve the negative treatment towards blacks"
Which to me sounds like you're good with it happening to those who have. And when the topic of discussion is blacks literally being unjustly killed, that shirt looks like a cosign...
That's just me though ...I over think shit and see the bad in a whole lot
My initial thought was, don’t assume I sold/sell dope because I am black. Almost like a Black person wearing a “Black and Educated” shirt. It’s cause people assume Black people stupid. I get your side too tho.

I was here
But If its outta sight its outta mind and if its outta mind nobody is giving attention to what is going on. I feel like white people need to have this in their face. Like they're blind to its reality. Billboard doesnt have the same effect, seeing a black person wearing a shirt hoping they dont get shot is a heart wrenching reality that white people need to confront. Imo, my bad if I swerved outta me lane.

Du and Kandy stumbled on an interesting convo. I always interpret them shits more like Du, also. Usually, when you make a proclamation about yourself, unprompted, without any ever asking or that subject comes up, it seems like you are mentioning it because you think that thing makes you exceptional or better than other people.
Like a nigga with a 'Never Sold Dope' shirt. Like...good for you?
Who is that message for?
If it's for black people, we already know that not every black person sells dope. So it seems condescending.
If it's for white people, it seems like you are playing the 'Look, I'm one of the good ones!'.
Obviously not everyone feels the same. Kandy for example. Interesting difference of opinion though.

Yeah, but dope dealers can be smart.
dope dealers can get an education.
It's niggaz who got master's and deep into their career but might've sold dope at 16 got arrested once and never touched the shit again...
He can't wear that shirt in good faith. But a nigga who committed every crime but selling dope can ....
Just leaves too much to interpretation

I don't rock shirts with messages of any kind to be honest. I just want clothing. I'm not trying to be a walking billboard.

I feel that but sometimes it can lead to a teachable moment

Here to point out the illogical
I kind of side with kandy. It is like those shirts "I am not a rapper". Lot of outsiders, hell, even insiders think rich blacks either play sports or rap. Outsiders can be people not from your area or your circle. So it is more like a "joke" shirt.

Do you think that about the Black and educated type of shirts?
I don’t disagree with you but that’s why I’m saying I don’t automatically think because he wearing that shirt he saying he shouldn’t be treated like other black men who may not be educated. I see those shirts as a statement to other races who group a nigga selling dope as someone who isn’t educated. Neither should be treated harshly but I see it as “yes because I’m black don’t mean I sell dope.” It’s all perspective tho.
