A Mississippi Man Wore A Violently Racist Shirt To Vote In The Midterms

Thank you!!! We are living in the age of POTUS saying there are very fine people on both sides of Charlottesville, so now people can get away with all manner of nonsense and say "But I'm not racist"

This is not a matter of opinion. This is not that dress that everyone debated the color of. This is a hateful picture representing the murders of people of color.

I mean how is this even a conversation?

"Hey, could we not be flippant about the systemic terrorizing and murders of POC?"

"Whoa, look out we got a triggered snowflake here who needs a safe space!"

I wholeheartedly agree. Today many people use a twisted meaning of "political correctness" to defend themselves against an expectation of common, basic decency. They also use the concept of "triggering" to deride people who express anger/outrage against things that are (or at least by decent people's account are) abhorrent.

It all boils down to wanting to bring public discourse down into the mud pit but somehow not be (rightfully) accused of being dirty...

IMO, anyone who is in any way defending, or not strongly denouncing this t-shirt, and this guy for wearing it, is a disgusting human being. You may feel emboldened by our current pathetic excuse for the POTUS, but you are on the WRONG side of history.

Not all words are created equal, that's why the concepts of defamation and slander exist, as well as the classic limit on yelling 'fire' in a crowded theatre.

Pretty sure that "protesting police abuse of authority against minorities" isn't on the same level as "murder minorities to keep them subjugated"...

While they might be different, both are bad for their employers.

Everyone thinks the NFL is making a political statement, when in fact they were simply reacting to protect their business interests. The fans, who pay the bills including the salaries of the players, don't like the kneeling. Doesn't really matter why.

Are players kneeling really affecting stadium receipts? If so, by how much?

It's debatable whether revenue has been impacted. However, it doesn't matter. There was negative publicity associated with it and many fans voiced their displeasure. A business has a right to be preemptive and protect themselves.
