    You keep responding to me like I give a fuck what you think.

    I care what @PtldPlatypus , @Orion Bailey, @bodyman5000 and 1, @MarAzul think. You? Not at all.

    You are just wasting time when you respond to me.

    Save that time. You'll never get it back.

    I know quite a bit Kanye so I would be interested in knowing what you know that apparently I don’t know. Kanye doesn’t support him. The whole reason I posted the picture is because Chris and dviss day whoever wears this is racist so I asked them and nobody could answer if Kanye is racist for it. Go figure

    We just celebrated MLK day this week and his message still needs to be spoken. For all the progress that's been made, there is still more to be made.

    "We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools." ~ MLK
    "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." ~MLK
    Be the peace you wish to see in the world!~MLK

    Anyways @dviss1 as a white conservative male, I want to thank you for perspective. I read a lot of your posts when it comes to race because I know that you being a black man have seen racism in a different way than I ever will.
    When I lived in N.Portland I saw my fair share of racism but I really appreciate your willingness to speak up. I find that for myself I have two thing important steps I have to take, first understanding that being a white guy I have benefitted just from being white, then secondly I need to listen to my minority friends when they speak up about how the color of their skin has affected them. I may not be able to ever fully understand it but I need to empathize with them and do what I can to make their lives better.
    I don't always agree with you, but I definitely respect you.

    Kanye is just nuts. I don't think you can ascribe anything else about him.

    You lost me at the word implies...

    Your opinion. When I first saw the slogan, without any outside influence, I never once thought it was a derogatory statement on current affairs or was referring to some self grandulizing white empowerment of the past.

    I simply took it as we are heading down a wrong path. lets make ourselves great again. Prior to him running for president, I didn't know much about Trump, other than the headlines. Businessman who inherited his wealth and claimed bankruptcy. but obviously has enough charisma to get on tv ( or money).

    When he came out with that slogan, I was like. Okay. Isn't that what every President wants???? Isn't that what America wants? I though it was a semi stupid slogan considering how poll after poll after polls shows Americans want improvements in security, safety, roads and highways and big business pollution cleanup and government oversite.

    Never did I think that it meant people want to go back to pre civil rights. This is a pure conjecture of antitrumpists trying to influence the influential.

    So because some AntiTrumps and some Dems completely twisted it to mean that anyone wearing the hat is a racist supporter and might be racist themselves, I'm just supposed to follow in line??????

    Fuck that, I'm still gonna call a spade a spade.

    One kid. Not kids.

    I'M just saying, that all this hate put onto these kids is more than they deserved. Maybe a few of them are truly racist and brought up by racists and taught by racists, but im willing to bet my job and my lively hood that not all the kids in the group are racist and are just kids trying to fit in. They are trying to fit into the wrong crowd, but they aren't all evil kids like you and many others are trying to portray.

    This is the same thing as calling all ANTIFA violent senseless criminals. I know they aren't all that way and I know they get painted that way because of a few extremists within their camp, but it still doesn't make the generalizing right. The kid who says this in the video is not the same kid who has had his life changed with death threats and all that.

    Instead of dissecting this video and others to pick out the few truly racist or bigoted kids tossing statements out, the public just labelled everyone racist disrespectful punks.

    So D, where is your comment about the Israelite who tossed out bigotted statements in the other video?

    Why aren't you condemning them? It is no different.

    This type of broad brush painting is the very issue that has followed us for many many years.

    Blacks are monkeys
    Whites are racist rednecks
    Asians are smalldicked shorties
    Russians are all bucktoothed uglies
    Indians are filthy sweaty animals
    Italians are stuck up showerless pricks
    Women are stupid and cant drive

    I could go on and on and on but I don't need to. Enough people have it covered for me in this thread.

    WE MUST TREAT INDIVIDUALS AS INDIVIDUALS!!!!


    This broad brush painting has got to stop.

    OB, does the swastika imply anything to you? Or is that just some lines in a particular pattern?
    If the former, how did that happen? The swastika is a very old symbol, much older than the Nazis.
    How did it come to imply what it does for most (not all) people nowadays?

    Why do you think that kind of symbolism could happen with the swastika but couldn't possibly with the MAGA hat?

    Of course you are free to complain about the symbolism of either one. But your complaint doesn't mean that it isn't a symbol. It just means you don't want it to be. Same as Cippy doesn't want Pepe to be a symbol, "it's just a meme".

    The MAGA hat is a symbol, ironically.

    It is a symbol of how far we've fallen that people can't have different opinions.

    That's crap. People can and do have different opinions, even about the MAGA hat. This thread is proof of that.

    Some people consider it such. Some people don't. Those are facts.

    First, the swastika was a symbol forced upon the people. Maga hat wearers wear by choice.
    Second, the ones using the swastika and forcing thier soldiers and citizens to wear/worship it, were actively attempting genocide. When Trump tries to slaughter a whole race, then Ill gladly turn the corner. Until then the hat is a hat that ANTI hatters are twisting it into a symbol, NOT the hat wearers themselves.
