| An actual story from the Daytona Times -- East Central Florida's Black Voice |
The standard commemorative T-shirt is a white crew neck that bears, in vibrant, idiosyncratic detail, the name and visage of the dead. These shirts are commissioned by mourners, typically to be worn at funerals or other memorial gatherings in the first days and weeks after a death. The afternoon sun doesn’t reach the furthest corners of the shop, where the design equipment lives and where Mr. Ray and Mr. Virgin work, along with Jeremy Carnegan, a graphic designer, and two men named Lamont (one goes by “Skee,” the other, “LA”). The technical implements of their craft are artificially lit, with Mr. Ray weaving in and out of the harsh fluorescence as he works.
The shop is part of a network of funerary proprietors between 75th and 79th Streets. Big City and its florist neighbor, along with a printer of funeral programs and the Leak and Sons Funeral Home, all black-owned, together ferry the bereaved through the process of mourning the newly dead. This is work that must be reconciled with the limitations of time and finance.
Oh, it's a growing business sector where monopolistic tendencies have yet to develop and the free market allows for competition to exist. [RIP T-shirt businesses growing in Memphis as families honor their dead, Memphis Commercial Appeal, 4-2-17]:
Jemil Jefferson was familiar with RIP T-shirts long before she started working for a Memphis business that makes them.
"In 2013, my family had RIP T-shirts made for my cousin when he was killed," Jefferson said. "I remember the shirts were so nice and really honored his memory. "
Rest in Peace shirts in Memphis are now becoming as common as flowers at funerals.
Several businesses make them for those who want to honor their loved ones with wearable memorials.
Since 2013, Tim Flowers, president of Mall of Memories in Memphis, has been making RIP shirts under his brand EterniTee.
His business started as a hobby out of his garage, but now it has grown into a kiosk at Southland Mall in Whitehaven.
"In pop culture, sometimes the greatest tribute that you can pay to an individual is to wear an article of clothing with them on it," said Flowers. " Well, this is the exact same kind of concept in a memorial type of vehicle."
Flowers said his T-shirts are recognizable because of the colorful digital printing called sublimation where pictures and other images are digitally transferred to the shirts.
"We don't want to give away our secret recipe of how we make our shirts, but we have put images on the T-shirts, on ties, on throws and even on casket panels," Flowers said. "What we are finding is this is how modern age people are mourning now with the T-shirts that some wear to funerals and long after."
Since he graduated high school, Tim Tarver, owner of Air Kingz Airbrushing, has been making RIP shirts.
Air Kingz operates in Southland Mall about 200 yards from Mall of Memories, the other business that also makes RIP T-shirts.
Unlike Mall of Memories where you place an order and the shirts are available for pickup or delivery, Tarver and his business partner make the shirts on site at their store in the mall.
Tarver said he has made the RIP shirts for those slain by violence to others who lost their fight to cancer and other natural causes.
"The RIP shirts are a big part of my business because everybody wants to be remembered," Tarver said.
Black people's proclivity for engaging in wanton violence to settle small disputes enables those entrepreneurs within the black community to seize on the blue ocean strategy and provide a good (and service) to their racial brethren.
Where Black people create food deserts, they also create thriving conditions for memorial t-shirt markets.
Correlation?

Yeah, remember the fight between Michael Browns relatives over the lucrative memorial shirt sales marketing? That was just spending money until the Go Fund Me, and ghetto lottery checks arrived.
Looks like gray or silver vehicles are now engaged in shootings in Detroit:
http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2017/12/11/detroit-freeway-shooter-investigation/
From the story: "There is no specific description of the shooter at this time, but police said a gray or silver vehicle was seen at two of the shootings."
One wonders when the description will move up to "teens" or "youths?"
What if they were only wounded. Do they get a Purple Heart tee shirt. Maybe the shirt can read "I dun bin got shot."
At my high school circa 1992, for awhile it became fashionable for the black "students" to tape food stamps to the fronts of their baseball caps. Why? Why even ask.
They're different from us. It's that simple. Pretending otherwise only makes things worse in the long run.
"In 2013, my family had RIP T-shirts made for my cousin when he was killed," Jefferson said.
Every negro has at least 500 cuzzunz.
"What we are finding is this is how modern age people are mourning now with the T-shirts that some wear to funerals and long after."
"Modern age people..."
Comedy gold.
Seems appropriate that negroes would want to look like walking tombstones.
I must be weird.
I want my family, and friends, to remember me for all the good things we did ( together or separately), good times we had (hopefully, with much laughter), being a should to lean on (in good times and bad), and for living a very long productive life.
Those t-shirts are low class, and trashy...neither words I want associated with me, my life, you or anyone I've loved.
Only blacks (and Mexicans) reduce memories to something as cheap as a t-shirt.
I sure do hope they wind up going out of business, all of them, from sea to shining sea!
Praise the lawd, and pass Dairakwantamious some mo' bullets!
There is a winery near me that will private label bottles for your wedding or Christmas gifts. I wonder if Thunderbird or the manufacturers of malt liquors would be willing to create memorial editions for hoodrats who have been goodified.
Even better would be a collector edition series of commemorative glass pipes. They could slowly build a complete set, sort of like the plates and glassware that gas stations used to give away.
Lol, a bunch of us on ABC Chicago joked about these t shirts years ago. Every time there was a fatal shooting, we told our nephew to start cranking up the machine. Extra extra jumbo was the best seller.

Do they sell those cheap stuffed toys that are piled up at each death site,too?
One of the best things about taking the red pill and learning to take your own side is that I read stories about black dysfunction now and couldn't care less. Before I got my head screwed on straight, I used to feel an emotional compulsion to pity blacks and their concerns. And their concerns are put front and foremost by the media, the universities, and the politicians who are always pandering about what they intend to do for the "black community". Blacks and the assorted dusky invaders don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. It's embarrassing when I look at how my sympathies were manipulated and misguided. It feels great to care about my group and have a sense of purpose instead of being a universalist fool.
1) This is a growing business model and has impressive expansion ahead. Good for them.
2) I like this quote from the post: ""In pop culture, sometimes the greatest tribute that you can pay to an individual is to wear an article of clothing with them on it,". Combine this with: " "What we are finding is this is how modern age people are mourning now with the T-shirts that some wear to funerals and long after."
They almost got it right. This, wearing of the dead's symbols, is primitive. Like cutting off their ear and putting it around your neck with dead deer sinew. Or like eating the body of the "Great Warrior". So African. So primitive. So Tribal.
No, this is not modern, nor normal pop culture. It is Typical Negro Behavior
(Oh, by the way, I am finding more and more sites preventing me from using: "Negro", "Colored", "Uppity Negress" in my comments. (((They))) are really coming down harder and harder on us)

Here is a nice t shirt design logo: "I went to the hood and got shot and all I got was this lousy t-shirt>"
Unbelievable! Lol! You can't make this s**t up. If we left them to their own devices, they would wipe themselves from the face of the earth in 40 years.
It's the ultimate in TNB when even dead negroes can engage in "looks at me" behavior from beyond the grave. About every other episode of The First 48 you can witness it for yourself....
Act White. Be White.
This is just more of the juju, sympathetic magic mind of the Negro. like the corpses on the sidewalk during Katrina and the bl@ck cargo cults, it is Africa in America. I fully expect the next step will be boiled and bleached human skulls on totemic stakes.

"THEY" (average person in general) will NEVER speak of the real reason malls are closing.

No reason to feel embarrassed and in fact you should feel proud that you broke out of it.
The media/school propaganda is extremely effective. Bill Gates spent half a billion pushing Common Core which is a paint theory based program in that it assumes the racial gap in education is caused by the environment. The truly sick part of Common Core is that it is often counter-intuitive for students that do well with independent work. By flattening the smart kids they are able to reduce the racial gap. But this still leaves a problem for leftists and egalitarians in education which is that states that do not adopt CC will easily beat them in SAT scores. This leaves leftists to explain why CC should be adopted if it isn't equalizing States.
Then there are the funeral processions.
Blacks seem to believe that funeral procession = driving wild in a group and ignoring all traffic laws.
In some states a funeral procession will have the right of way at all intersections but this is not a license to drive recklessly.

Centuries from now, when this is all over, President Donald Trump will be remembered simply as the the man who pointed out that the emperor was naked.

In Baltimore and Chiraq, I bet some of the mourners could wear a different T every day for a year and not repeat.

No no! We should hope their business thrives, goes viral.

If it really worked, it would run out of customers.

Sigh.
You do know that beautiful black Africans invented the T-shirt?
T-shirts were originally created by the beautiful black African artists who built the pyramids of Egypt. T-shirts were a useful garb for collective work in the enriching African sun. But then white slave traders invaded Egypt and prohibited the wearing of T-shirts. Instead, beautiful black Africans were forced to wear high collared jackets printed with "Confederate" flags as a reminder of their servitude while they worked on Mississippi plantations, picking cotton which was used by slaveowners to make T-shirts which could only be worn by white people.
During segregation, beautiful black Africans were lynched for wearing the T-shirts which white supremacists had appropriated. But beautiful black Africans persevered, and the Birmingham Bus Boycott saw mass acts of civil disobedience as beautiful black Africans wore T-shirts on buses and at lunchstand counter sit-ins. When Bull Conner turned firehoses on the protesters, the T-shirts kept them dry.
Today, in many cities, beautiful black Africans have reclaimed the T-shirt as a proud symbol of beautiful black African resistance against white supremacy. This is why you see so many proud black Africans wearing T-shirts at prayer vigils, non-violence marches and city street corners.
I know this is true because I was told so in my university program, "From Slavery to T-Shirts: 400 Years of Struggle."

Here's a thought:
Rather than making T-shirts, why not manufacture plexiglass barriers? This would protect people from gun violence. Oh, wait, plexiglass is racist or something.
It won't last. If they can run the NFL into the ground, why will this be any different?
I wonder if the memorial t-shirt shop has a Plexiglas barrier to keep their grieving customers from robbing it at gunpoint?
Custom labeled blunts and 40oz malt liquor would be a gold mine in the ghetto.
Memorial grape drank could be bigger than Bitcoin.
I jest of course. Blacks have never, and will never, be anything but an economic burden anywhere they are found.
Stay alert, stay alive.
In Southern California the big item among Latins is the memorial window decal. You often see some SUV with an elaborate flowery decal on the back window with a typical inscription like "In loving memory forever, our Angel in Heaven, Luis "Chuchu" Rodriguez April 25 1999 - June 12 2017". The age of the deceased is the giveaway on cause of death.
Try "Silverback" or "Hottentot".

All these shops need high quality cameras so they can dump these incidents to youtube. It makes it much harder for BLM/ACLU activist groups to depict the youff involved as innocent. It also keeps the mainstream media from spinning a narrative where no one knows what happened because the youff say they are victims. Liberals will avoid any type of embarrassment that involves Blacks. They are terrified of mainstream Whites getting a real look at what goes on in Black areas.
FOOD deserts!!?? Negroids create CIVILIZATION deserts!
Wake...UP!!!
I'm so old I remember when malls were plentiful and full of white people having fun shopping. We had t-shirt shops where you could have a shirt made from available designs. Putting a dead friend or relative on a t-shirt is alien to me and any white thinking white. Bet they don't pay taxes on their business either.
A lot of the time the photo they use is of some obvious gangbanger posing, trying to look tough, or it's a really shitty airbrush portrait.
I'd rather my family just dump my corpse in a ditch or a shallow grave in the woods than have pictures of me airbrushed on a shirt to be handed out at the funeral.
Try groid, dindu (or various spellings: dinndu, dindo, dindoo), spook,moon cricket, spade, feces species, NAPAs, roots, section apers, ect. People who read your comments will know what you're referring to, and it spreads out the terms.
Liveleak.com is a pretty good site for that. Most of their videos are uploaded from security footage around the world, which truly shows how rampant black dysfunction is spread out worldwide. They act the same way in Europe, France, England, Canada, Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, Japan, and Asia as they do here in the USA, even though most of the ones acting out in other countries aren't American groids who's ancestors suffered da turribl legacy of slavery. So they really have no other excuse for their lack of education and shitty behavior.
"Excuses are the nails that build the house of failure"
That pretty much sums up every black run city, state, & country for being the way they are.
RIP Tshirts, how stupid,but sums up the ghetto perfectly. What entrepreneurs!
It is caused by the environment...
The cellular environment!
Gutter trash.
"What we are finding is this is how modern age people are mourning now with the T-shirts that some wear to funerals and long after."
What it should've said:
What we are finding is this is how a stone age people amongst those of the modern age are mourning now with the T-shirts that some wear to funerals and long after.

Mr. Ulterior Motive, is that you again?
Baltimore's population (about 63.3% black): 615,000.
Chicago's population (about 29.3% black): 2.7 million.
Pff, you sneaky devil.
