Listen, I know what the company stands for and all that goes with it. However, if you were wearing a shirt with the just the word Slave on it, and if it pisses someone off, they aren't gonna stand around and think "hey, that might be a skateboard company, or some other cool company" frankly they won't give a shit. I live in downtown Atlanta, and let me tell you wearing a shirt like that around here will get your shit kicked, no questions asked. I like the company, but ask any black person if they are down with the company and their most likely response is "hell no", b/c it is a touchy subject and there is no getting around it. Words are powerful...fact

Throughout history, just about every race of people were subjected to slavery. As a matter of fact slavery does still exist in this day and age, a good portion of it occuring in Eastern Europe, South America, and Asia, as well as Africa and even our own country.
