You know…the only thing that really pisses me off about that insipid redneck whore is that she has a child. That poor kid has no chance at all for a healthy upbringing.
I can totally see her wearing those earrings though…she’s probably illiterate and I doubt she knows how Africa is shaped.
ok, after looking the seller’s shop profile, i do understand the message of these earrings, however, i would NEVER wear a pair of earrings that said, “i love white people.”
…BOABW has mutated into several faces. It can now be identified by its clothing line, beauty products, accessories, and jewelry. Making BOABW a company owned and produced by black women.
where does it mention she is a redneck w/ a kid? am i missing something here?
@#4 Ooh I want Europe, and I want mine to say “I <3 imperialism."
Also, let's not forget that Africa is one big, homogenous continent. There are no Arabs or white people or people who aren't black there at all. Not only that, but 100% of the world's black population lives there. It's really crazy.
@#12 Raz, I think that it was the much-tattooed lady in the shopjob that is a redneck and has a kid. I could be wrong though. I have no idea who she is.
#17 yeah, I don’t recall her name but she’s a cam girl/porn model who’s got swastika and white power tats and posed as a bikini Nazi for a recent photo shoot.
#10 Razberries, Exactly. And I know that my room mates, who are both gay, wouldn’t wear anything that said “I love gays”. Unless it was at Pride, but it would be more for the humor of it, not everyday wear.
After I saw the African continent, I almost thought I saw that BOABW had something to do with a baobob tree. Nah. Then I thought acronym for big ole assed beeyatch wench. Nah, now I’m enlightened.I want these in the ‘i love yellowman’ version. No offense to anyone-Yellowman is a reggae crooner.
@#19 mazumi Oh, I guess I’ll double my dose of feministing for the day to make up for this new bit of pop culture gone awry, which has entered my system.
#32mtopia, I’m guilty of reaping some of the booty , so i’ll bear up to the burden.
That should make flav-a-flavs necklace look diminutive tho’, just sayin’.
I just really wish Newt Gingrich had pierced ears because I would love to get these for him. Seems like he could use a little pick-me-up after the events of this week.
HEHEHEHEHEH!!!!!!! My adorable White boyfriend has pierced ears. He is soooooo getting these earrings. I hope I can get them before Easter so he has to open them in front of his family. We live in North Carolina. Imagine how much they love that we are dating.
#63, crazycatlady, OKAY that is IT!I thought that this thread could not get any better & then you come along.
Wish I could be a fly on the wall for that Easter
celebration.
I don’t find this seller’s items racist. I LOVE some black people too. And some white folks, and some Hispanic folks, and some Indian folks and some Native American folks, and some bicultural folks and some height impaired folks, and some weight impaired folks, and some folks with eating disorders, and some folks who smell funny, and some bald folks, and some mentally impaired folks. Hell, I even love some tax auditors. I’m a Saint! Oh, I love some Catholics too
I want some that say “I ♥ Crackers!” but I can’t figure out what shape they should be on, other than a trailer and I know some people who live in trailers who aren’t crackers and I would HATE for it to be assumed that ALL people who live in trailers are crackers or that I’m making fun of trailer-folk, when really I just love crackers, who don’t even all live in trailers and some are nice people…not like white trash!!! It’s a quandary.
reminds me of a girl who got superexcited over the fact that another girl’s dad was jewish, and the other girl (one of the coolest girls i ever met, actually) remarked pretty casually that she’s thinking about having her last name changed because her dad is such an ass. talk about awkward silence…
“Omg what if you wore earrings that said I love white people” isn’t the point.
We’ve historically gotten more than our share of love, people. It’s a totally different context.
Having said that, these earrings are horribly ridiculous in their own special way.
How about just loving ALL people? You know, in general, and not just love them (or vote for them) because they’re black. just sayin’…
Of course, if you tried to make world earrings to scale to show your love for everyone, they’d be HUGE, and everyone knows the only people who wear HUGE earrings are in Africa, so I guess it’s ok to love the people there for that, but NOT because they’re black or anything.
Getting back onto the horse what threw me…
#85 MsChristy McKnickers: Saltines, obviously.
As I don’t know how widespread Nabisco brand is, Saltine is their version of a salted soda cracker.
#90 eternalgreenknight : I feel your pain.
I’m a conservative, but all I can think about is that quote, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” To think, he could have just worn these to clear up any confusion!
I’m going to buy these, wear them while strolling through the streets of Atlanta to see how long it takes for me to get my honkie cracker azz beat down. Really? These are just as tasteless as saying, “I’m not racist, I have black friends”.
I’m kinda on the fence with this. I’m sure this will be hidden due to low ratings, but who cares. They’re Black Pride earrings. It’s a tad on the cruel side to poke fun at them. But then again if you’re not Black and don’t get it, of course you’re going to make fun. They’re like “Irish Pride” gear. Well, in certain aspects of fashion, big clunky earrings are in. They’re hand-made so I don’t get why people are getting so touchy about the symmetry.
Personally my issue isn’t the symmetry, it’s the idea that you can declare love for an entire race of people based on color. That’s pretty fucking ridiculous, and fully deserves mocking. Maybe her next earrings can have an asterisk, and the back can say “except Michael Vick, Rae Carruth and OJ Simpson”.
Peace everybody, Thanks so much for responding to my art. I don’t know who the tattoo lady is. But I’m the maker of these beautiful earrings.

March 24, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Perfect model! Sadly, I don’t think she’d love ‘em, even for money. And, she’s loved LOTS of things for money
March 24, 2010 at 4:51 pm
is that really how big her ear is, or was that photoshopped larger? LOL

March 24, 2010 at 5:00 pm

lol… trying to remember some of the old timey references for non-whites. Which I mostly know from old movies, or semi-senile outbursts from grandma.
Those earrings are just fuggly and kind of socially awkward. But what do I know.

good idea: setting up an etsy shop and selling things
bad idea: making and selling these earrings.

March 24, 2010 at 8:05 pm
“I love black people” is one of those phrases that you just hate to be overheard saying.

If it were a pride thing, wouldn’t the earrings say: “I <3 My People" instead of "I <3 Black People?"
March 27, 2010 at 2:31 pm
HK, Great point.
The asterik version would be a mighty improvement.
I wouldn’t mind personally stabbing Michael Vick with any available object , including sharp earrings.
