Some of you might remember an entry I posted back in 2016 that took issue with a certain t-shirt that was making the rounds. My point was that #BlackSabbathMatters was a frankly stupid disservice to all parties concerned in that (a) it wasn’t particularly clever (b) it made the mighty Black Sabbath unwittingly complicit and, most importantly, (c) it oafishly made light of a movement dedicated to fighting systemic racism and police brutality. Not a good look, as they say.
It seems that the gents in Black Sabbath concur. News broke, this week, that they’re currently selling their own response, a Black Lives Matter shirt (in the signature font of their Master of Reality sleeve), with ALL proceeds from same going to the movement.
Choke on that one, haters.
If case you’re unfamiliar, THIS is Black Sabbath.
