"This is not something that's going to

It's a community response to part of the
problem

It s the stylo right now," he

Wesley ( virpenter of Mr Rags
said consumers initially failed
to identify the "X" sytnlxil with
Malcolm X. bul purchased it
only for the look
"Before the movie came out
people just asked lor X' hats.
Carpenter said "After tin* mov

Malcolm X hats''
Spike Lee himself began the
fad when he showed up at the
Cannes Film Festival last year
wearing a ja< ket with an ”X”
atop an American flag and an
"X" hat.
At Spikes Joint. Fee's film

Lemon, a sales clerk for Mr

Some T-shirts are ideological
hybrids, showing Spike Lee's
message "Do the right thing"
alongside Malcolm X's "Bv any

So. does this consumer de
