Sticker I saw this morning
Today I was driving behind a minivan that had an oval sticker on the back of it that said: "I'd like gangsta rap more if it wasn't about killing people like me." I took that to mean "killing white people" and found it very racist. What do you all think?

1. That would be my first guess, but it may be they're just clueless
This is where they most likely bought it: http://www.stickergiant.com/page/sg/PROD/funsoc/dcb1132
The items also bought by people who bought this sticker mostly lean liberal. Anyway, no rebel flag stuff. So I'd guess that it's a clueless person trying to be funny and not succeeding noticeably.

2. Well, most gang violence is black on black.
Hmm...still a dumb sticker nonetheless.

3. was the driver white?
:shrug:
it seems racist in itself to assume that a minivan is being driven by a white person if you haven't seen the driver
