Mr. Bojangles Tee
A racially insensitive term used to describe a Black person, usually a man, who performs (in a variety of ways) for a White audience essentially on command. The pop culture use of the name is originally in reference to William "Bill Bojangles" Robinson. Despite White American appropriation of the nickname and term, Mr. Bojangles was a nickname given to historical tap dancer William "Bill Bojangles" Robinson (1878 - 1949) when he lived in Richmond, VA. The nickname increased in popularity during the Shirley Temple era, especially after The Little Colonel was released in 1935, preceding Jerry Jeff Walker's reference in 1968 by 33 years. With the exception of Walker stating the man he referred to in his song supposedly being White, the reference is still eerily familiar. Bill Robinson depicted a tap dancing Black servant who sang and danced to entertain a White audience. The racial undertone speaks to the latter. King For A Day was written by two White men, Edwin Moran and A. Dorian Otvos, and released in 1934, featuring even Black face characters. A hyphenated form was never used to identify or differentiate Bill Robinson from the song by Jerry Jeff Walker.

Cool I didn’t order anything I just have a lot of free time and not a lot of hobbies
Fun and soft.
Good stuff! Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion that this is cursed. You see, whenever i dawn this top-teir, soft, stylish shirt - I proceed to pass out within 46 seconds. The mere act of making contact with the material insues the process of this countdown starting. If I do not quit contact, i will lose conciousness the exact moment the countown hits 0. And when I regain clarity, I find myself in a bathtub - never mine, but a bathtub nevertheless. In the bathtub, there is always various colours of hairdye. I then have to go back home, shirt stained with dye. Very fashionable though! 10/10

Got it for a friend! He loved it
Size was accurate, and printed text was as displayed online. Doesn't hurt that the material is pretty soft either.
mine says "ass" on it lol
Good Decent, comfortable by all means
My wife bought this for me, my only thing about the shirt, is the big Vernon on the front. I think I would prefer it situated and smaller type as if overva pocket. Other than that I love it. Seems to be of good quality and easy wearability, but I have only tried it on, so am uncertain. Thank you for making my day
