Why do black people wear Family Reunion t-shirts out in public?

Also, they wear screen printed shirts of their friends or family members who died....why?

Update:

Let me guess....to 'represent'?

Update 2:

What other ethnicities wear these shirts out in public after the event has taken place? Anyone?

    Wearing a family reunion t-shirt in public or a screen printed shirt of someone close to you who has died is not a "black thing" just because some black people do it. People of other ethnicities do it too.

    Family reunions are a big deal in the South. They probably wear the printed shirts in public and wear plain T-shirts under the printed shirts instead of vice-versa. If I paid money for a shirt like that, I'd want people to know about it. I guess it's like wearing a concert T-shirt.

    well most of those black people on the t shirts got killed in a gang war so if the person really loved that family member he or she would get that person out of the gang the bottom line the only reason they wear it is because they think its cool that the family member was in a gang so when other people see that they are wearing that shirt they think the person wearing the shirt is also in a gang witch they probably are bottom line black people think gangs are cool so if your a black ask your self do you think gangs are cool ?

    I've seen just as many white people wearing shirts like that.

    Because we are proud of our families. Unlike white people who stick their grandparents in old folks homes and never visit but steal their retirement checks

    Why do white people wear sandals when it's cold, rainy, or snowing?

    same reason you wear tight jeans so your tiny 2 inch bulge will be all out for the world to see.
