Nice…I like him!!
…and it’s real stalkish like that Paris Hilton is dating the brother!
LOL!! This will be the first and last time y’all will see this dude on here. Only reason he’s on here because he has on a ridiculously ugly Malcom X tee on. Malcom deserve better.
Thats shirt is the BUZZZZNEZZZZ! I love that it has his face on both sides. Let me Find Out Joel’s down with Equalitiy.
The tee is cute.
Naw, he’s been on here before. Peep the event photos. And that shirt is far from ugly (in my opinion of course)…
i dont really like the shirt
if it was all black or white it would be better.
Lol
i just dont know what all of the colors are about.
LMao
I remeber when they had shirts like that out around the time that Spike Lee made the movie X. you could find those shirts at the flea market a dime a dozen! anyway I think that it is cute for him to wear it. he knows that he is with a sista!
BTW I love that Obama t-shirt you had on couple months back Angel.
He has, oh well I take that back Ms.Angel. LOL!!
I dont fancy him too much but Im loving the Tee!
Dope hes a cool ass dude I met him b4
The crazy colorful patterns is whats in this yeat I can see some of my Bay Area fam wearin somethin like that. I like it.
LOL! Angel, that looks JUST like a Malcolm X shirt I had back in the day. Either they have recycled the design or it’s vintage.
I like the shirt and I like Good Charlotte
There’s no interpretation for that shirt.except powerful!
I went to high school with those Maden twins….
The shirt looks alright….at least it is reppin Brother Malcolm
Wow, Joel seems more in touch with Nicole Ritchie’s black side than she does. lol
I’m sorry but who the F*$% cares???!!! OOOooo! A white punk rocker with an ugly, cheap looking, bad caricature of MX t-shirt!!! I love that his band is from Waldorf, Md cuz I rep Md and I enjoy their music from time to time but that shirt does not impress me and who the hell says dope anymore! I mean, really people????
He is engaged to black women. lol Wait til the baby start to get some curls or some color out of no where.
DOPE! I say it all the time. Love that word.
AHHH…I LOVE IT!! PLEASE FIND OUT WHERE I CAN FIND ONE!!!!!
The shirt is dope, i like him he seems like real people
I wonder how Malcolm X would feel about hipsters walking around with his face on their shirts just because it “dope” or it looks “cool” or it makes them feel like a rebel…do people like Joel Madden even understand what this man stood for, aside for the limited bullshit that they may have learned about his from a couple of rap songs or a movie….there is s discussion going on at another blog talking about the commercialization of socialist activists now….how the images of liberators are being used to see everything from high priced t-shirts to liquar…what’s really going on?
From the 90′s the shirt. Look on ebay or go down to ChinaTown to find stuff like that.
@ #19 aka SWEETPEA
Chill the fcuk out…if this post dont interest then why didn’t you skip it??
LOL @ everybody starting to like Good Charlotte after one of them wears a Malcom X shirt.Ok??
I WANT IT PLEASE FIND OUT WHERE YOu CAN GET THAT SHIRT!!
@ 24. I agree with that somewhat. I rock message t-shirts all the time though.
example: http://concreteloop.com/2...ve-backstage-w-kanye-west
Not sure if Joel is genuine with his, but I know I will be when I rock mines.
That’s a good debate though, because I know a bunch of people rocking these types of shirts don’t know two shits about the person or what they stood for. I call it the Bob Marley standard because many people only rock Bob just because he smoked weed and don’t even know about his struggle to spread unity, etc..
Joel seems like he his a cool guy and I kinda like the shirt. Maybe one day he’ll teach Harlow about Malcolm X and some many of our black heros and the history.
Are These Shirts Custom Made/ One Of A Kind? I Doubt It, Recycled Ish! I Want I Want Blah… Get Off Ya Butt And Get It. Hussle Man Probably Right Outside Ya Window.
That’s an old tee shirt form the 90′s. They had shirts like that with other black figures faces on them, with the same colors.
Shirt is cool…
its dope alright
#24 (Sarah) needs to take a couple deep breaths and relax. “What would Malcolm think?” “Beware of the commercialism of social Activists!” Shut the f up please. People (of all races) keep the memory of great revolutionaries alive through t-shirts, tattoos, etc. and there’s really nothing wrong with it as long as they realize what the person stood for.
Even Malcolm (toward the end of his life) understood the value of understanding white people. I respect this Madden cat for actually listening to “a rap song” or watching Malcolm X. You cant say that about most white people in this country.
lol Angel I love how you get on here to turn away the people who have nothing nice to say
I mean I could careless about him wearing the shirt, to each his own but when did Nicole Richie become African- American.
Malcolm X would’ve called the man the damn devil to his face. Gimme a break.
Here comes Judah. Are you aware of Malcolm X’s later work after he traveled abroad? Have you even read his autobiography?
That is a very cool t-shirt..
he has an italian flag on his right arm, and we all know how Italians feel about black people…..
I like the shirt regardless of who is wearing it. Joel seems like a pretty cool dude anyway.
That shirt is HOT!!!! I absolutely love it.
@39
Here comes the bodyguards. Were you waiting for me? I don’t care that this man is wearing a Malcolm X shirt. No one really believes in anything or stands for anything anymore anyway so if he wears it, it bears no more significance than the average black person wearing it. I knew when I made the comment that some negro that read his book or took an Afro-American history course in college would get vexed. If you think that Malcolm X stopped believing after all those years that the white man was the devil that either reflects a weakness in 1)His doctrine 2)The man himself. I don’t believe that he was weak at all. I believe that he changed his doctrine because he no longer had the backing of the Nation of Islam and needed to justify the alteration of his message. Any man with two eyes can see that racism transcends religion and Islam is no different. I don’t believe that Malcolm went to Mecca and saw things that changed his mentality concerning the course of action of blacks in America. Any discussion regarding his view on whites as opposed to his religious beliefs is a two-fold argument that has to be addressed in that manner.
#14, i was saying the same thing. my uncle used to have the same one.
That Shirt is Dope and so are the Bapes….
Yeah Angel,
I think that anonymous is right, thats benji!!LOL!!!!
Bapes are so ugly, I dont get them. They cost so much, and they are so bootlegged that you don’t know the real from the fake!!! IMO…
From what I’ve seen (on tv interviews) he seems like a smart guy…not the type to just wear a historical icon on his back w/o having any knowledge of what that person stood for….go ‘head on Joel, wear that tee!
Anytime a black person say something meaningful on this site they get attacked and the funny thing is, the attacker is always cursing and carrying on and end up making a complete ass of themselves because their commentary was a waste of space . (reference post 35 ). Just read that entire comment . Just an idiot beyond measures .
I agree with #24 .
um…why are people on here spazzing? I think that Angel just wanted to point out the shirt, it’s cool…so what? And Malcolm X would NOT have called that man the DEVIL to his face after his pilgrimage! SOME people need to understand that!! Brother Malcolm learned that bros and sis came in all colors. Some of y’all need to read up on Brother Malcolm ya selves! So maybe you should pick-up The Autobiography, instead of feeding off of what you may have HEARD about Malcolm.
Peace
…and nice shirt!!! geesh….
@ Sweetpea, if you have nothing to say don’t say it all honey. If someone wants to say dope as a way to express then let them. geesh some people come here with their moods and try to hate smh! Anyway that’s a cool shirt!
lol at Angel… Like it when you come here and prove people wrong!
Nicole Ritchie has always recognized herself as being African American even though she does not know her biological parents. She sees the features in herself and was raised in a multi-cultural environment.
@41 – That’s a gross stereotype to say how all Italians feel – it can’t be true if the dude is Italian and he’s married to Nicole. Doy!
@ 19- And i like the shirt too – it’s DOPE, FRESH, BAD, FLY, FIIII, SWEET, UGLY, RADICAL, PHAT…Did I mention DOPE?
Lolol. Go ‘head girl.
ugh the haters disgust me….
anyway…i love both benji & his bro…they seem like genuinely nice ppl and i was a good charlotte fan back in high school…he looks good.
#18, I watched an interview one time, and he said he and his brother grew up in a very mixed neighborhood in Maryland, I believe. #20, I’ve seen a picture of that baby, and she already has a little bit of curl, lol. #37, she became black when it was revealed her REAL father (not Lionel) was Sheila E’s brother.
#53, I agree w/ you about the Italians. Where I’m from, there are soooo many people who are black and Italian.
#44 IS RIGHT,BUT WHY ARE PEOPLE SAYING THAT MALCOLM CHANGED HIS VIEWS AFTER HIS PILGRIMAGE? THAT WAS NOT HIS FIRST TRIP TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND NOT HIS FIRST PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY CITY OF MECCA..HE SAW THE SAME THINGS THEN THAT HE SAW THE LAST TIME HE WENT, HE JUST NEEDED WHITE PEOPLE ON HIS SIDE BECAUSE HE NO LONGER HAD THE NATION.BUT ANYWAY ITS AN OK SHIRT
@57- Absolutely – my nephew is black and Italian and much of his daddy’s line is mixed with black. Those blanket statements about any race are just out of order and reveals the ignorance of the person who wrote it.
SMH…..you people always find something to moan about if the man had on a hilter
t- shirt you would curse him out until you were blue in the face, and when he wears a t-shirt with a significant black icon on y’all find something to moan about.
