t-shirt design # 2

Update #3 · Apr 18, 2012 · comment

The inspiration for this design is that American systems relentlessly impose and collect criminal justice debts, child support, taxes and other monies from indigent young black men, many who are the same heirs of victims that had their property, assets, livestock and other means to provide for their families stolen from them by black codes, jim crow laws, and so on. In reality, since the United States government still owes restitution for the crimes against them and their families, shouldn't these systems be a little more understanding, and shouldn't they just put it on the damn tab?
