Would you say there are any black icons, celebrity, athlete, politician, icon etc that would make you raise an eyebrow on a white person's t-shirt?

When people where anyone's faces whether they are black , white , hispanic , asian or any race it makes me raise an eyebrow to their life choices. Faces and likeness's on shirts is something I will never understand.

As a white man though , I purchased a fairly plain Obama shirt in 2008 when he won and was happy to wear it. It was one of the coolest moments of being a young adult in America and a time I was truly proud to be part of my country. And here we are ... 10 years later... ugh.

I’m wearing a shirt with Kanye’s face covering the entire torso section atm. I can’t think of anyone, it’s not like the terrorists in BLM sell shirts with their faces on it.

Even outside of faces, let open it up to names and such. Like a Malcolm X shirt or something.

I have a few Bob Marley t-shirts, two of them I love and wear all the time just because I love the colors, one is a faded yellow with a really unique design around Marley's face, the other is a steel blue color with orange text. I have never seen Marley shirts like these anywhere(can't find them at any stores anymore and can't find them online) they are so sweet and just totally fit my personality/style.

The other that I have is one that you see everywhere, it's the black one with his face on it that says One Love. I cut the sleeves off of it and wear it to the gym whenever I do shoulders or biceps. I noticed it kind of eases the racial tension whenever I barge into a haggle load of African American fellers crowded around the dumbell rack getting bout it bout it.

I used to have Nelson Mandela and Stephen Biko shirts. We were a host family through a local program here in Edmonton for a family that immigrated to Canada from Uganda about 1987-1992. Their stories and the community they exposed us to was enlightening for someone young like me that up until then had for the most part been fairly sheltered to the outside worlds' issues and really other cultures. I emersed myself in various communities and causes and you know I honestly don't remember any of the people I met ever telling me not to be involved or to take off my button or shirt because I was white. In fact, if anything most of them seemed to be welcoming of the fact that I was trying to be and affect change.

There is no one black I can think of that if I saw them on someone's shirt I'd be offended.  There's plenty of white folks though.   Charles Manson, Jeffery Dahlmer, Ted Bundy, Paul Bernardo, Hitler.... 

While not Black, I remember a lot of kids wearing the Che Guevara shirts years ago. I remember asking someone who it was, and they replied with 'some Russian guy' - I then had no idea who he was, but I would think if I was to wear the shirt I would at least know who was on it.

If I saw a white dude wearing a t-shirt with Chris Rock's face on it I'd be like "eehhhhh...."

I thought the Colin Kaepernick Captain America t-shirts were cool.

Yeah, I don't think I'd wear a t-shirt with a real person's face on it, unless it was like a comic book movie tee with say Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, or something similar to that, on the actual shirt.

It's like art and porn, I'll know it when I see it.

I can definitely see wearing racial icons as a white person translating into cultural appropriation.

Mistress how do you feel about a white boy wearing a malcolm x shirt?

Doesn't bother me at all

Barack Obama or The Rock.
