[Laffy Kat]

1. Jesus.

[Hoyt]

2. There are a lot of folks who are proud of it, and most are gun nuts.

[Mojorabbit]

30. Can you back that up?

I have an 80 year old aunt who is a racist. A young man who used to do my yard in the 80's is in with the white supremacy people now. None of them ever carried any kind of arms. I think racism spans all manner of class, gender, etc. I don't think guns have much to do with it. Back in the sixties and early seventies I thought in my lifetime I would see it disappear but it seems these people inoculate the next generation with the hatred.

[Hoyt]

33. Would they wear that tshirt?That kind of racist is usually into guns. YMMV.

[Mojorabbit]

40. The white supremacist probably would. The aunt, no. :) nt

[rl6214]

69. That's funny

Most of the anti gun nuts I've ever seen are racists.

[Rebellious Republican]

39. Does this help?

[NYC_SKP]

45. I rather doubt that. Racists far outnumber gun nuts.

Gun nuts may constitute a small subset of racists but there are puh-lenty of racists who never got near a gun.

[madinmaryland]

49. I rather doubt that. Gun-nuts are racists as you just admitted...

But Tim Paw-lenty is just a douchebag.

[Tigress DEM]

54. But the TRUE word in that statement is "nuts"

Lots of people with guns that aren't racist or afraid that reasonable legislation will deprive them of their 2nd amendment rights.

[rl6214]

68. And another baseless accusation from the anti gun nuts

[BootinUp]

3. At least no one will have to waste time

trying to tell him he is one.

[Blue Idaho]

4. Only a TeaPublican

Could be so proud of their own ignorance.

[LWolf]

5. WTF

Proud of hate.

I don't know what to say.

[Warren DeMontague]

6. Jesus.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

7. I gotta respect that. I scariest thing to me is when racist deny they're racist. That's dangerous.

[Hoyt]

13. I hear you, but that tshirt is a casual version of a white hood and robe.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. Yes, but as a black woman, I want to know who my enemies are. The ones who worry me and my

family the most are Klansmen who don't wear the robes. Feel me?

[freshwest]

23. Yup, best to deal with an out and out bigot than the one who pats you on the back with a knife.

Always got that shit-eating grin to go along with it...

[JustAnotherGen]

52. Well said!

[KansDem]

59. You said "Yup"!!!

[Hoyt]

34. True.

[etherealtruth]

36. At least they never leave a doubt in your mind and you can see them coming

Stupid and hate filled ... what a combination

[Jamaal510]

41. Off-topic,

but I love your new sig.

[bravenak]

43. That's exactly how I feel.

I want them to identify themselves so I know who to avoid.

[JustAnotherGen]

51. +1

I want to know who they are.

[Tigress DEM]

53. Yeah, like they just "love you to death"

People in positions of power just quietly red-lining neighborhoods, to keep the "ghetto" on the other side of the tracks.

This dude is like a rabid dog - still scary, but easily recognizable and avoidable.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

79. It's difficult to explain to people what psychological racism is. They think that racism only

means explicit behaviors or using the N Word, shit like that.

We have a long way to go...

[uponit7771]

56. +1

[KansDem]

60. Didn't Malcolm X said something similar?

I thought I'd read something to that effect in his autobiography. In surfing the "tubes" I found this:

PLAYBOY: Are you contradicting yourself by denouncing white supremacy while praising its practitioners, since you admit that you share their goal of separation?

MALCOLM X: The fact that I prefer the candor of the Southern segregationist to the hypocrisy of the Northern integrationist doesn't alter the basic immorality of white supremacy. A devil is still a devil whether he wears a bed sheet or a Brooks Brothers suit. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches separation simply because any forcible attempt to integrate America completely would result in another Civil War, a catastrophic explosion among whites which would destroy America--and still not solve the problem. But Mr. Muhammad's solution of separate black and white would solve the problem neatly for both the white and black man, and America would be saved. Then the whole world would give Uncle Sam credit for being something other than a hypocrite.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

78. Yep, and you will hear this from a good deal of blacks. I grew up in the south and the

Klan used to hold rallies in different places. We knew where those places where. We knew where to avoid. What always pissed me off is when northerners and people from the West and Midwest claim that racism is not as bad or even doesn't exist, but some of my worst experiences with racism occurred when I lived in Jersey and Chicago. To me, that's scarier because people swear that they aren't racist when they are. They don't even realize their behavior!!

[Cha]

8. Might as well wear a t shirt that says..

"I'm Stupid".

[NuclearDem]

10. They already make those.

http://store.nascar.com/T-Shirts

[sheshe2]

18. Or one that says~

"Do I Look Like a Moran?"

Well yeah, you do.

Good one Cha~

[NuclearDem]

9. Ugh, I hate those damn infidel shirts.

I don't know what possessed CENTCOM to allow servicemembers to wear those in Qatar.

[ismnotwasm]

11. Does it say

"And a clueless asshole" on the back?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

12. My thinking thing not make smartness.

[awoke_in_2003]

38. "my brain hurts"...

"It'll have to come out".

http://m.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

72. NURSE!

[Squinch]

15. Don't miss the yellow shirt with the Jesus fish. Self described christians all, no doubt.

[freshwest]

24. That's the Xtian Nationalists people have been in denial about for years. Couldn't make out the text

[Squinch]

26. I suspect not being able to make out the text is a good thing.

[JohnnyLib2]

16. What is there to say to someone wearing that??

Glad for the heads-up, because I'd be tongue-tied.
'
Maybe the first step is to check for guns......

[Solly Mack]

17. Bless his heart.

[sheshe2]

19. I'm a racist and proud!

Qualifier....him not me!

Thanks Gray~

[grantcart]

20. Somebody doesn't look happy getting their picture taken

Notice Fox News and the Christian Tee Shirt as well as the hateful Muslim shirt?

[Sand Wind]

21. Wow, unbelievable ! Nt

[secondvariety]

22. Just like the half wits

I work around. Welcome to my world.

[freshwest]

25. Did someone hurt his wittle feelings?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. The website on the Infidel shirt leads to "Webmaster please contact Hostgator". IOW

In other words, it is behind on bills or has violated Terms of Service or is out of business or they don't have a clue how to maintain a website.

[progressoid]

28. And under the Fox News banner.

How appropriate.

[Squinch]

65. I'm surprised there weren't more comments about that. I guess we're all at the point where

we see a Fox banner over aggressive racism and say, "Yeah. Figures."

[zeemike]

29. I knew the day would come

When they felt bold enough to come right out and say it.
Good in a way cause we know they are but now we don't have to wonder.

[bearssoapbox]

31. Him is smart.

S...M...R...T

[another_liberal]

32. Little does he know . . .

The vast majority of humanity are people who have dark skin. Little does he know it, but he is part of the real minority.

[liberalhistorian]

46. Not to mention the Jesus that they claim to

revere and worship, as Jesus was most assuredly NOT white. But try telling them that.

[another_liberal]

48. They'll tell you he was blond with blue eyes.

They have photographs to prove it too.

[theHandpuppet]

63. And riding a dinosaur

You betcha!

[etherealtruth]

35. How, why ... oh [groan]

At what point did it become a point of pride to be this foul and this ignorant.

On the bright side, one does not have to doubt anything about these vermin ... they wear their idiocy like crowns.

[gopiscrap]

37. what a fucking numnut

and imagine that: there's a Fox News banner up above!

[Jamaal510]

42. The guy wearing the green shirt

kinda looks like Rand Paul, doesn't he?

[BillyRibs]

44. DERP of the DAY!

[liberalhistorian]

47. Those "everything I needed to know about Islam" shirts

drive me batshit crazy. It's like saying that "everything I needed to know about Christianity, I learned from the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition and the Indian wars." Sheesh, such unmitigated ignorance.

[Precisely]

50. What?

[mazzarro]

55. Wonder if he will wear one to work? -- n/t

[SummerSnow]

57. He is at work..lol

[JI7]

58. where is this pic from ?

[B Calm]

61. That's the first step admitting your a racist. White male privilege

is a heavy burden.

[Paper Roses]

62. Revolting. n/t

[Tanuki]

64. Interesting video of the guys (non-veterans, of course) selling these

filmed at a Kentucky Teabaggers event in 2010:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/07/06/882086/-Tea-Party-Admits-it-with-Yup-I-m-a-Racist-T-Shirts

[Squinch]

66. That is literally nauseating. But did you notice the guy in the racism booth with the FUBU shirt?

What assholes.

[rl6214]

67. Nice t shirts

thingy just in case it's needed.

[trumad]

70. Love the Infidel shirt...

Everything I need to know about Christianity is from the Crusades.

See how that works?

[progressoid]

71. And they would say, "what's wrong with the crusades?"

Just good old Christians spreading the gospel of the Lord.

[hobbit709]

73. I love it when idiots identify themselves right at the start.

[Jamastiene]

74. Is this for real?

Most of it is spelled right. They are learning how to spell now? Damn.

[barbtries]

75. that's just disgusting.

makes me sad

[Scurrilous]

76. @#$% him.

[graywarrior]

77. Kicking for UPDATE

[yuiyoshida]

80. Well there's your proof...

[Mr Dixon]

81. IMO

Madness
