I don't know, I've seen a lot of white sheep rocking bling. I don't know if there's such thing as "a bit racist."

MooseDinner

I hate black people too. I hope this doesn't get printed.

lhercher

They look pregnant... I think you were trying to give them bare bellies, but they're a little too round and shiny.

RUTH1

I really don't think this is racist, give me a break. It's cute.

MooseDinner

not racist? maybe that wasn't the intent, but I know that people would be offended by this. http://www.answers.com/topic/black-sheep: A member of a family or other group who is considered undesirable or disreputable... The least reputable member of a group; a disgrace... a reckless and unprincipled reprobate

numbernine

Why do they have bare bellies? Real sheep don't, and it looks off. Cute design, otherwise.

booboo135

oh oh oh oh oo h NEEEEEED. love it. and moosedinner: havent you every heard about a 'black sheep' someone who goes there own way, diffrent, unique. i love this shirt. and if your offended by this shirt then dont buy it. there plain and simple.

Pmonkey

I think it's interesting and worth a print.

GMMiles

I don't know. I think this is a bit racist. I mean yeah it's a joke but it's a joke based around stereotypes of black people. I wouldn't buy it.

Thanx Ruth.
And no, this is not racism at all. It's base on an expression. (Being the black sheep). Read my description : "It's about feeling different."
Thanx for the positive comment ;). Really appreciated!

LuckyAlice

kinda racist... but cute

opendestiny

That is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

I'll agree with Alice though, kind of racist. But I think the cuteness maybe annulls it. At least partially.

iamregina

hahaha hella cute

mrdeadhead

all i ask is some feet. that's all. it's still a 4, but you'll get $5 with feet. they just look like they're floating there. all i even need are like little lumps under them... something to hold it up.

niack

LOLOLOL this is awesome LOL!!!! $$$5

Tempo

the drawing style seems to be taken from the online comic Count Your Sheep

blacktiger

i really dont like the style much... instead of a comb, why not a pick with a fist on top??? because i never walked around with a comb in my head...a pick dude, a pick... any who... good idea... poorly executed

pinup-artist

ok this is a bit racist and i'll tell you why. the "black sheep" of the family is an outcast, someone who isnt as liked as the rest, someone who stands out-generally being the black sheep has negative connotations, and youre making the outcast "black" as in african american? and in your description you say its about "feeling different" why should someone who is black feel different? plus the 'bling bling" thing is flat out corny. this is just a white kids idea of what black people are.

Well.. I do understand you're point. But feeling different isn't a bad thing! Have u see who's the "coolest" sheep in this illustration? Well it's the black one! And being the black sheep don't usualy come with a negative side, it's just an expression. And this ain't racist for me caus' it's cute, I didn't want to do a debate on the subject with this design. I've already post it on deviant art and I've never heard the word "racist". So I'm kinda bit of surprise that people thought that here.

And this is just a white kids idea of what black people are. Next time I'll see an american joke about canadian wearing fur hats, beaver and all that stuff, should I feel threadtened? I just don't see how I could offend black people with this one... they're nothing saying that they are not good people and all that stuff! It's just a cute illustration about feeling different. And the black sheep in this illustration is the coolest one!

staffell

RACIST!

Patrick Seymour

mouhahahahahahaha you are fucking constipate come on...shit this is just a funny design ... 5$ for this

Firiel

what's the problem all??! I so don't beleive for a minute that anyone here have ever said any joke that could sound racist!! I soooo don't beleive that! Anyway, juste a little explanation..maybe it's the reason why it's not everybody who understand: I don't think that in english and in french we have the same definition for the expression "black sheep". In french it's not necessairly negative..it's more like a way to say that someone is more original than the others. And you know what? If I was the black sheep on that Illustration, I'd be proud! I feel myself more like him even if i'm not black, don't have a comb in my hair or even a bling bling! Anyway...just like that...if it was a boy and a girl on this illustration, would it be sexist? It's the same thing! Black people are different because even 2 white people are. WE ALL ARE! Anyway, keep up the good work cousin! Proud of you!!! Love ya!

Daut30

MySimulation

brenden_strang

ZOMG TEH RACIZM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I love it. 5)

RussB

And this is just a white kids idea of what black people are
and that is called a sterotype boys and girls, which are generally ill advised and can have racist overtones

I like the design, but I can understand why people would think it's racist

xxErynn

It a really cute idea, but the excecution is a little, guh? Off.
