i like fubu...i sport their clothing.....personal taste i guess.....

but i dont know that they are racist..i havent heard anything that they have said or read that hinted at that....they say something in a interview or something?

but..nothing wrong with starting a lable......they have a  business.........they are expanding...

thats like asking..why is wu tang selling clothes.....
they know they is money to be made....look at Sean Combs.... may not like his music, or him....but his clothing line is some of the best out there....

Fubu is just doing the opposite......they have the clothing line, they are just giving opportunity to artist out there......if they are racist..they shouldnt be..since their label is distributed by a white own coporation...Universal.......

I remember tommy hilfiger i think said something racist on tv once.....but a grip of "urbanites" still buy his clothing...

Yo did I just read rightly. LL as in In The House LL Cool J started the company FUBU or just started wearing FUBU's stuff. And cause it racist I ain't buying any of there shit now. Was gonna buy a few tops hear in Britain cause you were finding them in TK Max for like 20 pounds each (About $35 each), One of my dawgs bought 2 of them. But I fucking hate racists. Damn FUBU. They just lost a customer although I don't think it'll bother them.

FUBU is not racist. For Us By Us could mean anything like someone else said.

For the people
For the hip-hop community
For people of the urban community

I seriously doubt it is racist. Just a rumor. Just like rumors of Tommy Hilfiger was racist. That shit wasn't true. Just a bunch of jealous muthafuckas wanna bring people on top down.

As for them comin out with a Comp. whats wrong with that? That are a hip-hop clothing line so the next move is to come out with hip-hop records. Ain't no thang.
