Mission Statement 

 

Exploration of alternative culture: We at Label Us Black are drawn to peculiarity and 

 

unconventionality. It is our desire to explore metaphoric roads-less-traveled and experience new 

 

things outside the mainstream bubble. Anime culture, the culture of card magic and sleight of 

 

hand tricks, exploration into Eastern religions or even examinations of BDSM culture, literally 

 

anything the mind can grasp and is of interest is another exciting expedition for us. Whatever it 

 

is, shout it out and we’ll follow suit; we’re cool like that.

 

 

Unity in individuality: It’s been observed as one of the greatest contradictions of our time: 

 

being an individual with individualist beliefs and sharing it with like-minded people. Doesn’t 

 

make any sense to share independence, right? WRONG because we do it and we do it with 

 

style. As Lubbers-*ahem* us- we understand the significance of the individual and their right 

 

to be independent; it is because of this we have developed unity among ourselves appreciating 

 

and respecting the lifestyles of other members, hoping to ultimately learn more about one 

 

another and help each other out. Think of each person as a separate nation brought together in 

 

a conference, albeit on a more personable (and cooler) level. We want to hear all about you and 

 

your story.

 

 

Fighting against racial stereotypes: How many times have you been criticized for “being 

 

white” cause you liked something you somehow weren’t supposed to like? We Lubbers have 

 

been through that too many times to count and, needless to say, that ish is obnoxious. We 

 

Lubbers like what we like; we don’t see the point pursuing an interest in something we’re 

 

supposed to be interested in, unless it’s a genuine interest. You like rap? Cool. You like the 

 

NBA? No?! well that’s fine too; you don’t have to like/love it to be a friend of ours. We 

 

are intent on reinforcing a positive image of our people and have pledged to fight ignorant 

 

stereotypes with brandished individualism and good vibes. 

 

 

Safe place for exploration: You will not be judged among our circle. Once more: you will 

 

not be judged among our circle. Whatever it is you enjoy and have a passion for, we will 

 

love...assuming, you know, it doesn’t have to do with killing babies or something. Jokes aside if 

 

your interest falls on the “weirder” side of things as the white people say these days, don’t worry. 

 

We will girdle you with our sincere protection; at our place, you will find a safe haven where 

 

you can relax and experience new things without a hint of judgment (I can only mention that so 

 

many times).

 

 

Building lasting relationships: If you’re open to us, we’ll be open to you. If you’re a bit shy, 

 

that’s fine too cause we Lubbers are extraordinarily friendly people (kind of). One of the main 

 

reasons why Label Us Black was formed was to build a place for people to meet up and hang 

 

out. The freaks, geeks, losers, weirdos and psychos are all here like a close-knit family, so if 

 

you’re a little weird (or just a naturally amiable person), pull up a seat and enjoy the show. You 

 

may will form friendships that’ll last for many, many years.

 

What makes our organization stand out compared to others is our lack of continuity. With such a 

 

diversified band of artists, we’ve basically done it all.
