Quickie #13

I went to the gun show in Fort Worth yesterday.  As usual, I was unable to resist making a couple of purchases, which I will photograph and write up in due course.  However, I noticed something interesting that I thought I should comment on.  There was a white guy who had on a FUBU shirt.  I guess he never got the memo about the meaning of FUBU.  It means For Us By Us, where the “Us” specifically refers to black people.  I don’t know what black people may think of such things, but I wouldn’t do it.  It somehow seems disrespectful, although on the grand scale it’s a minor thing (e.x. compared to white guys who use the N-word amongst themselves, which always makes me cringe, and which is truly disrespectful).
