United against Urban

I'm sweating...but I will not be buying an over priced tank from Urban Outfitters stay cool, (and I never have). I am heated over the article I read a short time ago. Urban used the official logo of the United Farm Workers on a trendy denim long sleeve...without permission. To think that an organization that has done so much for our community and who's workers have labored tirelessly over all of these years...just so that some oblivious hipster can wear it with "pride" that they finally got an "Native"/cultural article of clothing to make them seem more wordly. Urban took it down within hours of a photo post in Voto Latino's Facebook page. Social commentary website Latino Rebels said it best as a tagged category on their post..."No Mames."
