and my friend who is European American was wearing a shirt that said "KOOL-AID IS DELICIOUS" and it had an African American male with a afro holding the drink.

Well your "WHITE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY" T-shirt is a Racist shirt
because is making a statement about white people
The other T-Shirt say "KOOL-AID IS DELICIOUS" and has a picture of a African American male But you could argue they cool have just as easily put a White Guy with a afro and it would still be the same T-shirt.
we don't get KOOL-AID in New Zealand so I don't know if cool add is a drink only black people drink or not over in the states.
I new zealand Black and White people have pretty much the same tastes and are just as poor as each other.
What whould you say if there was a shirts that say
"Black people are Dumb"
"Black people are Alcholics"
"Black people are Homicidal"
"Black people are uneducated"
"Black people have Violent tempers"
"Black people are Junkies"
"Black people cant take a joke, Try it say the N-Word"

Would you consider yourself as racists? I mean, if you are thinking about it, would you?
I, personally, think that you can wear whatEVER you want nowadays. And if people are creating such crazy stuff, why not wearing it?! Come on, honestly, aren´t we all at least a little crazy? What does crazy mean? It can be interpreted in too many ways. And in the view of the fact that there are neither WHITE nor BLACK people existing on this planet, they cannot even say that those people who were giving you these funny looks were meant by these statements on the shirts. I mean, seriously, what is white and what is black?! Those aren´t even considered as colours. And if there were no light at all on earth, pretty much everything would be looking the same, no matter if material or human beings.
If I were you, I wouldn´t even give a thought about those funny-looking-at-you people. Let them do what they wanna do. And YOU go ahead wearing WHAT you WANT to wear! ;)
Have a nice weekend!

I can see why u think that u may be racist.. But if u are africnan american, wearing a tee shirt that says that, and ur other friend is wearing the kool aid tee shirt.. That is fine.... U are friends, no big deal... I dont see why we all have to be so politically correct! do what ever u think it is fit.. who cares what other people think... If they are getting upset over a tee shirt, then they have issues.. if a person said it then it would be racist.. but a tee shirt.. naw... anyways.. ciao !

i think the shirts are just comments on stereotypes. It's meant to be funny because it's silly to buy into what the shirts say. I think if people were offended or gave funny looks they were being too deep about it. I see people who where shirts that say all kinds of things some way more offensive than that. but it's just a shirt. if it's saying something about you than that's on you.

it was a little but we are all mean and you are showing people how you feel and i respect that and that was a great combination of shirts i laughed hard and they are rude for staring at you so your even and who cares anyway? i think that kind of racism is okay you are proving a point some people disrespect you and they are definitely CRAZY for think of you as different in a bad way! and your friend wearing the shirt with an african amarican made your point even more valid .!and because of that it made it even less racist

If you saw a white person that you didn't know wearing a shirt that said "black people are crazy" would it bother you? It wouldn't necessary be racist but it would definitely be socially unacceptable. So why is it ok the other way around?

I wouldn't care. I would think it was funny! But how would you take it if I, a white person, was wearing a shirt that says " black people talk funny" No, I don't think it was racist, but I see where the looks came from

I'm sure you didn't mean it in an offensive way but yeah, your shirt could be seen as offensive as it is about white people and you are not white. I'm sure if a white girl wore a shirt that said 'Black people are crazy' that people would get offended, it's the same thing.
Do it if you want to but don't be surprised if you get beaten up for it.

If you were white trying wearing a t-shirt that said "Black People are Crazy,"
You personally were not being racist, just have a good since of humor.
But others may not take it that way.

Well, let's look at it this way: you're walking in the mall and see a white person wearing a t-shirt saying, "BLACK PEOPLE ARE CRAZY". Your gut reaction would provide the answer.
