By doing this, they shed the responsibility for their own self-induced failures, and blame them on Whitey.

You’re exactly right. How many blacks would be killed by white cops if they a) didn’t engage in crime or b) followed instructions of cops when they’re stopped?
Good luck with that football career.
Wear that while walking around in Chicago’s West side... I dare you.
His shirt should have read “I hope I don’t get killed by a black today”.
He must have gone to the Colin Kapernick School Of Career Suicide.
Exactly. Blacks have a problem and it needs to be fixed within the black community. In a debate years ago with Jesse Jackson, Orin Hatch pointed out that if you remove the murder done by blacks between the ages of 17 and 35, the US would have a lower murder rate than Switzerland. We've thrown trillions of dollars into black pockets and gotten very little, if anything, in return. I think it's time to stop thinking that more money is going to solve the problem and start devising programs that rebuild the black family. It doesn't take any brains or effort to be a father, but it's hard work being a parent. Time for black men to man-up.
He probably ought to avoid Chicago, because that is one place where you can get killed for being black. Killed by other Blacks, that is.
,,,,,,, there’s a 90% chance that if you’re murdered it will be at the hands of another black . I sympathize with you over the path your culture has taken itself .
Victimhood carried to its insane conclusion.
Right. Let's have a "conversation." That fixes everything. Is there a more worthless hollow act than to call for a "national conversation"? It's the generic democrat approach to addressing any problem. It avoids entirely the heavy lifting of doing any real work -- like going into the black neighborhoods and fixing the probably irreparably damaged vile welfare, drug and gang-banger culture.
“I hope I don’t get killed for being black today.”
Then don’t do something stupid!
In the article, it states that Smith’s older brother Malik created the shirt. Malik says, “The shirt was created to bring light into the everyday problems that blacks face between police and black-on-black crimes. The shirt exemplifies a voice that we have, but may not be heard. So why not have people see it?”
But there are some problems with this. First of all, who is Tyreke Smith and who determines him to be an expert on the problem he foolishly incorrectly displays other than what he is told?
This is an obvious example of someone doing something the wrong way by displaying a home made shirt with misunderstood writing on it. By not understanding what he is saying, he is making the problem worse, not better, creating more unrest or making the availability of the creation of it to people that do this.
We have enough problems needing to be fixed without immature, small thinking children pushing their two cents into something they are making worse rather than better by not understanding the ramification of their lack of forethought. In other words, if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. As in too many cases, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. If he wants to use his spotlight, then use it for something that is done right, not stupidly.

If this black guy is walking the streets of certain black neighborhoods in Chicago, he may very well be killed for being black and being there by a black guy. Imagine that!
I agree with him and suggest he stay away from the south side of Chicago and most other cities.
Sounds like he is a child of a BLM activist...
Shirt caption amended: “I hope I don’t get killed by another black today.”
As many people mentioned, he is completely missing the point on the real risk black men in America face. However, there is another side to this:
Colin K’s approach was shockingly rude - insult our Flag, our Anthem, our country, and our ancestors who died to protect America . . . and then claim he wanted to start a “conversation” about race. Sorry, no conversation with people who start out insulting so many things we revere. That stops sensible people before they even consider whether the spoiled loser is likely to listen to the other side of the “conversation” or this is meant to be just another liberal lecture.
This moron’s approach is simply misguided. He’s missing the fact that the overwhelming majority of the risk to decent young black men comes from the black thugs police are trying to stop, not from police. I don’t see any point in conversing with either him or Colin K, not when liberals never listen to the truth, but this rookie is still head and shoulders above his predecessor in the news.
Every morning I wake up and the first thing I do is think about ways I can hurt Americans of African Descent.
Only I don’t.
I think about if there’s any raspberry jelly left.
I wonder how he’d feel about a T-shirt that says “I Hope I Don’t Get Raped for Being a White Woman Today”?
