Those black tees look nice

Hoody would've looked better if it had a X across the chest.

 

[Dad]

thanks for this.

 

[Blackout]

Good.

Black businesses are beneficial and these ladies are bringing that to life with this.

Honest question, am I overly cynical for looking at this with a critical eye? Is this the social activist version of Nas' daughter launching her own cosmetics line entitled Lipmatic? Beyond that, am I overly cynical for taking issue with the fact that civil rights pioneers can be used for fashion purposes? I'm glad it's the family, but at the same time I'm kinda critical of it as well because it is the family.
