so talkin' about the rights to wear:
So after reading a few comments from 2 imixers (btw, they both made great points on some level), I thought about what does it mean to have the RIGHTS to wear something? Is it wrong or an offense for a person who's not Rastafarian to wear the colors red, gold, and green? That's a religious aspect, now looking at a political aspect do we remember the Che Guevara shirts, it was a style/fad for some (I mean some people didn't even know who the man was)... Then even with these wrist bands, some people wear them with no thought about it. But anyway... What does all of this mean to you? Do you think about why you wear something and its symbolism to you or is just a fashion statement for some?

i think u should have to earn the right to wear those colors, i see too much unrighteous people wearing it.
its like an extremely vocal atheist wearing a jesus t shirt

i guess both.

Look at those bands. Some people don't even know where it started... now they making all kinda foolish styles and crap... steups... Some people wear it for what it is the cancers, the AIDS. SOme wear it cause they see it as a fashion statement as it is hip. So it depends on the person... the people that wear it for symbolism would get offended though i know...
