What do the intitials FUBU stand for? - GoFuckYourself.com

HungSolo · 06-09-2003, 01:06 PM

Is it: For Us By Us? If so, who is 'Us'? Black people? If so, why is that not seen as racist?

... rule 1: you have to be white to be a racist.

Tanker · 06-09-2003, 01:08 PM

yeah it is for us by us

Undutchable · 06-09-2003, 01:08 PM

For Us, By Us

You could say that it is for hiphop fans, by hiphop fans... Possible incorrect but it would save a lot of bullshit in this thread if it were true

litlsweety · 06-09-2003, 01:08 PM

RUMOR was that Tommy Hilfiger was made for white people to wear not meant for black people then some body not sure who made FUBU means for us by uss meant for black people >. silly stuff!!

JamesK · 06-09-2003, 01:08 PM

fuck us bitch uh

p00p · 06-09-2003, 01:11 PM

I had a nice FUBU hat and stopped wearing it because everyone called me a 'wigger'.

nocostporn · 06-09-2003, 01:12 PM

for us by us,it's for the culture! not black people

FUBU played out in '99 at the latest,I hope nobody is still buying that

" FUBU the Collection- PRESS RELEASE: 10/04/00

FUBU IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN OWNED COMPANY AND A
WELL-ESTABLISHED MAJOR BRAND NAME WITH A FULL
COLLECTION OF APPAREL AND ACCESSORIES WHOSE
CUSTOMER BASE TRANSCENDS AGE, GENDER, RACIAL
AND RELIGIOUS BOUNDARIES.

BUT MORE THAN JUST A BRAND NAME FOR APPAREL,
FUBU IS LARGELY PART AND PARCEL OF THE
GENERATION "Y" LIFESTYLE ALONG WITH MUSIC, VIDEO
AND THE INTERNET, ENJOYED BY PEOPLE OF ALL RACES
AND NATIONALITIES FROM ONE END OF THE WORLD TO
THE OTHER.

NUMEROUS CELEBRITIES AND PROFESSIONAL SPORTS
FIGURES INCLUDING WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING
CHAMPION LENNOX LEWIS, LL COOL J, MARIAH CAREY,
MAGIC JOHNSON, AND MEMBERS OF N'SYNC AND KORN,
HAVE ALL INCLUDED FUBU BRAND CLOTHING IN THEIR
DAILY WARDROBES.

FUBU IS SOLD AND WORN THROUGHOUT EVERY
CONTINENT IN THE WORLD. IN FACT, FUBU HAS
ESTABLISHED STORES OR SHOPS IN EUROPE AND IN
SUCH COUNTRIES AS JAPAN, KOREA, SOUTH AFRICA,
SAUDI ARABIA, MEXICO, AND BARBADOS.

THE FACT THAT THE FUBU'S LARGEST SUPPORT BASE,
THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY, TAKES PRIDE IN
WEARING PRODUCTS DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED BY
AFRICAN AMERICANS, SHOULD NOT SERVE AS A
CATALYST FOR RACIAL BIGOTRY.

TO NOW BRAND "FUBU" AS A RACIALLY OFFENSIVE
SYMBOL IS NOT ONLY MISPLACED, BUT REPRESENTS A
CLEAR MISUNDERSTANDING OF WHAT FUBU IS AND WHAT
THE FUBU LIFESTYLE IS ALL ABOUT.

AT ITS VERY LEAST, FUBU IS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION
TO ALL AMERICANS BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS THE
EPITOMY OF THE AMERICAN DREAM IN THAT FOUR YOUNG
AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN WHO HAD AN ENTREPENEURIAL
SPIRIT COULD CREATE AND DRIVE A STREET CORNER
BUSINESS INTO A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR MULTI-NATIONAL
OPERATION.

IT'S UNFORTUNATE, BUT IT NOW APPEARS THAT BRANDED
CLOTHING HAS BECOME AN ISSUE OF RACE AND AN
UNPROTECTED FRONT AGAINST RACIAL PREJUDICE AND
SOCIAL INJUSTICE.

Signed,

FUBU the Collection"

Their lawyers most likely wrote this for the company.

On a related note... if Black people want equality, then why do they want to be called African American insted of simply American? Being African American seperates them from the rest of America.

Some of the biggest racists that I've came across have been black.

A perfect example, is how black people make fun of whitey during stand up, and it's okay. But if a white person did the same thing to blacky it wouln't be as funny.

Agreed. 'White boy' this and 'white boy' that, and the whole crowd at the Apollo will be rolling on the floor laughing all night.

Good point... I have few black friends, and not one of them has ever been to Africa.

Yea it would look racist if a white comic started jokin on blacks... but he has no need to ... white is majority not minority, and white comics will joke on what they think the 'majority' will relate to. Most white people dont sit around complaining about black people to the extent of volume black people complain about white people. Black people will always joke on white people cuz a minority comic will (usually) want to appeal to minorities... and most minorities arent gonna sit around and praise white people up and down.

But black comics joke on blacks just as much as they joke on white people. And I have seen quite a few white comics joking on blacks, oriental, jews, etc, etc.

If you dont like how black comics joke on whitey, then go up on stage and joke on blackey.

It was grey. Actually a nice hat, that is the only reason I bought it. Didn't have a clue what FUBU was, or a wigger....until I wore 'the hat'.

spike lee movies always have white people,doubt you can name one that doesn't have at leats a minor white character..he just touches his issues with a black point of view which is why he's known as the "black director"
