So I was talking with Aaron the beginning of Spring Break, and he put me on to this website that promotes the positive images of Black Americans and basically getting in touch with our home continent of "Africa". The website is dangerousnegro.com, I love it! Finally apparel that you can be proud to wear as a Black individual, no more hood-ish spray painted shirts with cartoon characters or the infamous "Stop Snitchin" merchandise. Here you have quotes displaying Black pride. I have fell in love with two of them The first shirt is the definition of a "Dangerous Negro", http://www.dangerousnegro.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DEFBT. The second is called a message from Mother Africa, check that out as well.

But here is the real deal breaker and something I had to struggle with before I finalized my order. Is the term Dangerous Negro identical to calling myself a Nigger or Nigga (same thing). Wasn't the word Negro used offensively just like Nigger? So I did further research on the company, looked at its blog, facebook page, etc. and I was pleased with what I saw. I may not agree with everything that I saw, but the message and empowerment of Blacks that was displayed sold me on the idea.
