Why
I made the t-shirt "Remember
When Racism Ended?"
Racism didn't end! But, lots of people think it did, or think that
some magical finish line was crossed when the Civil Rights Act was
passed. It exists. In some cases it just morphed or adapted. There's
a lot of politically correct (or more correctly put deceptive) terminology
for things like racial profiling and police
brutality, but they still happen. Disenfranchisement of minority
voters still happens! Discrimination in housing, lending, hiring...
it all still happens. People often don't want to talk about it,
but it IS still around both institutionally right down to the personal
level..
This shirt is designed to use cognitive dissonance. Most people
if they really think about it know that racism never ended. So when
you say that it did, then they will be confused and hopefully re-focus
the spotlight in their mind on racism, if only for an instant when
they see the shirt.
