Censors are cracking down hard on any non-harmonious behavior before the upcoming 20 year anniversary of... you know. All media outlets are heavily censored, access to places such as Tiananmen Square in Beijing is becoming more restricted, so various campaigns are spreading for ordinary people to express themselves in one of the few ways still open to them: fashion.
Obviously it's hard to know how far this will spread until the actual day, but as we hear rumors that TV presenters are already banned from wearing all white (all black, or all red) outfits until well into the middle of June, some people up top are seemingly already worried.

Tis easy enough to get around the baby killing pig fucking commie SOBs, black is the color of death and mourning in the west, so if The Man is giving people a hard time in the streets about wearing white, switch to black, especially a black armband.
I think it's going to be interesting to see if there are any black armbands around tomorrow. The problem with wearing all white is that it's a bit ambiguous- anti-government? Anti-military? Pro-democracy?
A black armband says "mourning" in a pretty clear way.
