That is the best part, seeing who the wearer is in my opinion. To me it seemed 
most of these people just got a chuckle out of the phrase (as I did) and were 
crazy enough to wear it around town. 

My wife is white and she had no problems with me wearing it other than just 
shaking her head at me. I think it requires a distinct taste in humor (like 
people who enjoy black comedy..pardon the pun)

Peace,
Alex
