Our posts here and here about black dudes in tight jeans have stirred up some debate, which is always very welcome here. For example, Anton pointed us to the magnificent video above, it pretty much says everything necessary about this every sensitive issue.

Steal This Garment.

Back in the mid-1990s and during the huge skatewear boom FUCT somehow managed to stand apart and keep a bit subversive, as opposed to every other brand. They had cool designs which, at least of them, you didn't really feel like wearing in the company of your aunties and grandparents. They were clever, and not banally tasteless and stupid like all the shitty brands that copied them later, Pornstar being probably the worst example.
I still have warm feelings for my good old "Kill People. Not Animals." -tee.
Many (even young) people took that one surprisingly seriously at the time:
"Are you some kind of animal rights activist, or something?"
Suckers. It worked.
Respect. Which is easy to say as I now can afford to pay 38 USD for a t-shirt, if I want to. But do they still have that classic "STEAL THIS GARMENT" printed in the back of the label?

I hope they do.
