Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation mug
A predominantly Latino street organization formally organized in the year 1963 in the Northwest Side of Chicago, Illinois. Its original name was the Latin Kings Organization. Their colors are Black and Gold, with many members, primarily in the east coast states of the U.S., sporting black and gold beaded necklaces to identify themselves and as a "sacred" article of clothing. The original purpose of the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation (ALKQN) was to provide brotherhood and protection for its membership and community during the turbulent times of the Civil Rights Era and frequent segregation of neighborhoods created by race and language barriers in Chicago. During these times, the Latin Kings fought against other ethnic gangs and clubs and even stood up to the Chicago Police. One such incident of police brutality against a member of the ALKQN triggered the Division Street Riots in 1966 when a member was shot in the leg after being chased by the police the day of the Puerto Rican Day Parade in Humboldt Park. Upon the political transformation and organizing of other clubs and organizations in the late 60s and early 70s, the ALKQN created its own "King Manifesto" to spark social, political, and spiritual consciousness within its membership. However, due to the growing violence between rival street clubs, the heavier influx and sale of illegal drugs, and the revolving door in which its members were in and out of jail, criminality began to expand within the ranks of the ALKQN by the mid 70s. It is also at this time when members began to start chapters outside of Chicago, Illinois, such as Wisconsin, New Jersey, and New York. While there are many in the ALKQN who live a "gangbanger" lifestyle, the ALKQN's Manifesto acknowledges that this is a stepping stone into becoming a socially responsible leader bred through life's hardships, perserverance, and education. This broad acceptance and belief system has brought both negative and positive attention to the ALKQN, where often they are seen simply as an organized criminal gang, and at times, a socially and politically conscious fraternal organization.

Very basic mug but does the trick!
The mug is of good quality but advertisement needs to change as the sample photo for ordering gives the customer an illusion that the entire mug is of that color ordered when it is not

The mug is a gift for our Fantasy Football league winner…or loser. I'm not sure yet; it's a bit of a spoof that will be disclosed on Thanksgiving.

What is there to say? It's a mug, with a word in front and the definition in back. Nicely done!
This will be the perfect gift this winter! It even came in a nice little box. The mug seems to be of good quality. It was a bit pricy, got to be honest, but it’ll be very well received.
Deathless but probably comatose verse This cup is a beautiful mug From which I am happy to chug while engaging in jomo (the obverse of fomo), and pulling the ol' cyber plug.
The mug is just the right size, and the graphics are awesome!
This mug... this mug gave me a feeling that I can only describe as pure euphoria. The 'MRI - Man's a Real Idiot' mug is truly a gift from above. I cannot express how happy I am with it. When it arrived at my front door, it was a moment of epiphany for myself. My eyes were opened. I understood what was missing in my life... and it was that very mug. Whoever created it is truly gifted. I bless them. You too could purchase it, although the price may seem high at first, for what it is, it is the greatest deal one could ever make.
Would have like the entire cup with purple color. Not just the part with the slogan. It's a nice cup!
