[quote=Anonymous]If your DD is really wearing something that supports racism or homophobia I would not allow that. If however, she's wearing a shirt with a picture of weed or a curse word, I'd let that go.

My rule with my teen girls is that they can wear provacative clothing if they are prepared to and capable of dealing with the attention they will get for it. I have one DD who shrinks into herself from any attention from strangers. She can not handle wearing a short skirt even though she has the body for it, because if construction workers whistle at her, she comes home and cries. I have another DD who will whistle and catcall them right back, and can totally handle herself.

If your DD can wear a white power t-shirt and can handle getting punched in the face repeatedly by black people, then hey, maybe she DOES have some sort of super human white power. But she probably can't, and if she's looking for a fight, then go find one that won't require plastic surgery for a broken nose/jaw. Because if my DD wore something that encouraged a fight, I'd refuse to pay the doctor bills that would be part of the end result. [/quote]
