"Ramses Ja and Quinton Ward, hosts of the weekly racial justice radio show Civic Cipher, became the legal owners of the phrases trademark for its use on clothing late last month."

I'm honestly surprised no one trademarked the phrase a long time ago.

They probably bought the name so they could get paid whenever some racist asshole tries to put it on a shirt.

It's smart as fuck

Yup, it's a great idea to limit the spread of it. I applaud them.

If he was going to then that possibility was always available to him. Now he just can't do it in the US without lining the pockets of the people he's trying to vilify.

The problem with doing that is that it's illegal to register a trademark solely to prevent others from using it. The key to getting away with it is not to explicitly say that that's why you registered it.

Since alt right folk are too lazy/slow to trademark their slogans and memes, I think it would be very profitable and beneficial for us to trademark their shit whenever it enters the internet.

i dont think it would hold up in court if they did it after kanye's fashion show.

its an awesome idea, but you cant go trademark something you just saw like that. you can see a prada show in milan and then immediately copyright that design over here.

you can't just steal a japanese video game character owned by Nintendo before it launches here.

so i dont see how a judge would let the trademark stand since it was for clothes like 20 minutes after a fashion show that was on the front page of every new website on the planet, practically.

i mean if the judge wants to troll kanye that'd be funny too, but i dont see how this is legit. it's ethical, just saying i cant see how it's legal.

This too. And they've just filed for registration. It hasn't been and likely won't be granted.

Slogans like those are mostly meant to make money and care less about the cause. No surprise he was trying to make money off of it.
