Man sports KKK tattoo and 'FUBU' shoes at Confederate flag rally

FUBU is an urban streetwear label known for its following among rap artists, and the apparent clothing choice of one KKK supporter who donned sneakers from the label at a recent Confederate flag rally at Stone Mountain, Georgia.

Neon Flag reporter George Chidi noticed a man with a KKK tattoo wearing FUBU shoes, and stopped to interview the man.

"I didn't know if you were aware. The brand FUBU, it stands for ‘For us, by us,'” Chidi says to the man, further explaining that FUBU was created by a black entrepreneur as a symbol of African-American pride.

“Them shoes that you probably wore was designed by a white man back in the 1920s,” the man replied. “But does that make you stop wearing them shoes because the white man designed them? I don’t care if a black man designed my shoes.”
