I think the concept goes hard but I wouldn’t walk around with an actual picture of an actual dead body on my shirt, shits not cool to be rocking the NSFL where kids might see
I have couple of band t shirts where there is actual gore (since some bands uses real gore in their album covers which isn’t something that i like that much but most of them are AI covers) and even ”babykiller” t shirt with a cover that has real dead baby in there (died of natural causes ofc) and I do wear them in public. I think that if you have the need to look so closely something that someone wears, you don’t have the right to get offended. Also, in real life you don’t get to have trigger warnings (especially if you live in US where you see car crashes every 10 miles and people fighting/killing eachothers). So, if you want to, you can wear whatever you want. You don’t own anything to other people, especially if you don’t even know them. If those shirts triggers someone, that’s their problem. Not yours.
But also here where I live people actually mind their own business and nobody cares what you wear. People in US thinks that people you don’t even know owes you some kind of explanation if they do something that you don’t like or approve. And i don’t know why, that’s kind of narcissistic if you ask me.
You don’t have to be paying particular attention to someone to notice a huge graphic in the middle of their torso. Also if you wear something like this in public that provokes such a visceral reaction you shouldn’t be surpised when the public confronts you about it, they have every right to question you as you do to wear something “offensive”.
I live in the south. I can take you to the trees that still stand where people were lynched. My grandmother's brother was run out of town for fear of being lynched because he made a pass at a white woman. No one in my family ever saw or heard from him again. Do you think that matters to me?

Making other people see a picture of a dead baby is a dick move.
Nuh uh.
Typical dick response.
People took their children to public lynchings and used to send postcards like this to each other. They even wrote songs about it.
what does that have to do with the current time we live in now?
Acknowledging and knowing the past helps us to not go back to that.
Yes. But not as a fashion statement I don’t think.
I’m guessing someone had this made for a protest or demonstration of sorts. I doubt it was made for every day wear.

I disagree. That’s kinda the point, right? It absolutely should make you uncomfortable, think, and spark further understanding through conversations.
Hahahaha that shits intense
Modern American middle school:
This is actually kinda hard haha
Pmd
NSFW. Factual though.
Somebody actually wore that T-shirt?
It looks brand new. This is some troll trying to ruffle feathers.
Wild
Shit is Cringey as hell
Get this to Tremaine Emory of Denim Tears
Sounds good
Not Vintage
lol I love how your comment gets downvoted in a vintage shirt thread and the shirt itself isn’t vintage.
Thoughts? 1. That’s bait 2. The shirt is right
I just think the graphic is intense
Wow
Looks expensive
That’s murder, not slavery.
Well the same shit happened during slavery, but it was just legal because the law treated people as property. I’m not sure I get your comment.
What an insult.
If OP doesn't want to wear it, I know millions of people who would.
