I don't know what it is about Target, but I always seem to see or hear something interesting there. We went to Target over Labor Day weekend with our closest 3734 friends. The place was packed with back-to-school shoppers. I saw one shopper wearing a t-shirt that said: I ♥ Black People.
I am sure that many of us agree with that sentiment. My question is what would have happened if I had walked into Target that evening wearing a shirt that said: I ♥ White People?
What if it said: I ♥ Crackers? (Or Honkies?)
Obviously, the last two are intended to be more offensive, but I believe I would have gotten dirty looks with the I ♥ White People shirt.
And what kind of looks would I have gotten if I had walked in wearing the I ♥ Black People shirt?
What does this say about us and racial relations?
And what does it say about me because I wonder about these things?

I would worry more about your lack of sensitivity if you did not worry about such insensitive things such as the shirt you saw. Mom
I'm contemplating renaming my blog "I ♥ Crackers"
