Do The Right Thing Unisex Heavy Cotton Tee

Wear the message that echoes through decades of culture, cinema, and resistance with the Radio Raheem "Love vs. Hate" Tee—a bold tribute to one of the most iconic moments in film history.

This shirt features the powerful image of Radio Raheem, a pivotal character from Spike Lee’s groundbreaking 1989 film Do the Right Thing, holding up his gold knuckle rings that spell “LOVE” and “HATE.” More than just a fashion statement, this graphic is a symbol of the inner and outer conflict between compassion and violence, light and darkness—an image burned into the collective memory of American culture.

Cultural & Historical Context:

In Do the Right Thing, Radio Raheem’s monologue—delivered with intense conviction and visual flair—became an instantly iconic moment. He extends his fists, adorned with the brass words “LOVE” and “HATE,” and tells a tale:

"The story of life is this: static. One hand is always fighting the other hand. The left hand is kicking much ass—the right hand is coming back. Love is winning..."

This moment, both poetic and visceral, speaks to the heart of the film’s themes: systemic injustice, racial tension, and the human struggle to choose unity over division. Decades later, Radio Raheem remains a symbol of resistance, truth-telling, and emotional honesty.
