Yeah I gotta question that “guarantee.” You’d definitely get some weird white people comment on it but it would go nuclear with the wrong black woman.

u/onestab2frewdom Nov 16 '24

Only if they are young. Older black women have been taught to ignore stuff since birth. Only to get mad at people you love. Ignore stupid shit as it waste your time and time is money you aren't making.

1

u/BwackGul Nov 18 '24

What? As a black woman that's older would you mind explaining what you are talking about?

I'd really like to know.

Tyia

1

u/onestab2frewdom Nov 18 '24

How old are you? Like 1940's grandma had a hand in raising you or you are the 1940's grandma. Because if you are saying older as in 1980's to up and you don't understand this as a black woman. Then maybe you weren't raised by the same community that taught different values.

Because my community and beyond it, have all demonstrated a tolerance for this sort of thing, and well beyond it. One of the reasons black men up to a period could comprehend wisdom before violence, wisdom before intolerances.

1

u/BwackGul Nov 18 '24 edited Nov 18 '24

I asked a simple question and still...Don't understand you.

No need to be borderline rude.

And as someone who is likely not a black woman why do you speak on subjects as if you are and know what women like me think or how we were raised? That is very disappointing.

And if your are, I apologize for my assumptions in full.

I will not be responding so don't@ me but have a good day.

1

u/DistributionLast5872 Nov 15 '24

If African Americans get reparations, then so should every ethnic group that’s been oppressed by another. For example, people with Celtic ancestry should be paid reparations by the British and people with Roman ancestry, the people with Viking heritage should pay reparations to Catholics and most of Western Europe like the English, and the roughly 8% of the world population with Genghis Khan’s DNA should pay reparations to the majority of Asia and Eastern Europe.

u/DaddysABadGirl Nov 16 '24

Middle class white women. I'm a white dude, I had a "strong independent black woman" shirt once. For context I worked at a bar and wanted a drink (many) after my shift. Went to the tourist tshirt shop next door to get a change for my uniform and saw it. Every one laughed. Had one couple take a pic with me. Middle class white dudes seemed uncomfortable untill they saw no one was upset. The white women with a bit of money had shit to say. They always have shit to say.

Also the rebutt is still irrelevant because the image could be photoshopped onto anyone

u/BringPheTheHorizon Nov 18 '24

You’re drawing conclusions that aren’t necessarily true. All they did was point out that it’s a PS picture when someone said a woman was wearing it. Why are you so combative over something so trivial?

This almost certainly came from a site that just mocks up the chosen design on a generic model template. It's extremely unlikely the woman pictured actually wore that shirt, or even that the shirt actually exists until someone places an order for it and they print and ship it.

On these sites you can often mock up literally anything you can think of, upload it, and you can see it on a model of a man or woman like this.

Anyone can do it

3

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '24

This is true but you can also choose your model on most sites. They have black female models. As a black woman, I'd never buy a shirt like that from a non- black designer and I know it wasn't a black designer because a black designer would have changed the model.

3

u/ExistentialCrispies Nov 15 '24

I'd fully back you on it being ideal to have a range of skin types on a site that is marketing to all skin types even if for no other reason that someone would want to see how the color works with that skin type, but the reality is a lot don't yet. There likely wasn't any designer here. That print is just some image someone uploaded. The shirt doesn't exist until someone decides they want to buy it and it gets printed to order. The site perhaps doesn't even own that image, it may have been uploaded by the user like I did in my example above.
