I want a tattoo like this
I am offended because there is something that looks like a swiss flag. It probably has another symbolism, but I don't like my country being associated to the KKK
Yo where can I get me that shirt?
I’m not saying this is the only place and I’m DEFINITELY not promoting it because t-shirt scams based on memes are well established. But it is interesting to look at.
$45 for a shirt is ridiculous.
Then don’t buy it. If you just want something to cover up, go to a thrift store. If you want a shirt with specific art on it you either pay what the artist asks, make it yourself, or go without.
Hey it’s a small business. You give $45 to morons all the time. This at least goes back to Americans who aren’t billionaires.
No. There are plenty of small business that don’t overcharge. It’s kind of the entire point of a small business.
Another woke DEI moment!
Where would you get one of those? Asking for a friend.
Several results showing that the back says in giant bold letters KILL THE KLAN so just Google that
a lot of people have been stealing the design so if you want to get it from the source it's radresistance.com
I.... Kind of see what they're getting at. And it's not that their argument is without merit, it's just.... That argument makes you seem like a racist asshole.
Ignoring the hate crime context of it all, the image depicts someone who has been executed, at it's basic level.
The idea of having someone walk around with a depiction of an execution on their apparel... I kind of get.
However, given the context of the image, being who has been executed, it's hard to make the argument that walking around showing the execution of a person depicted as one of the most notorious hate groups ever, is bad because it's a depiction of an execution, without also implying that you don't want kkk members to be hanged, and you're therefore sympathetic to them.
That's a whole "yikes" from me. I certainly wouldn't stop anyone from wearing this, and hell, if someone links it, I may just buy one myself and wear that around. My "yikes" is for anyone wanting to walk the line that they somehow are not sympathetic to the kkk, while still taking issue with this shirt.
without also implying that you don’t want kkk members to be hanged, and you’re therefore sympathetic to them.
no?
It's hard to make the argument that the shirt is bad, without implying oneself to be sympathetic to the KKK.
So whoever doesn't like the shirt implies themselves with the KKK.
I want to buy this shirt. I also want one of a Nazi.
Along what your saying I remember shirts of Muammar Gaddafi when he was killed and also remember Saddam Hussein shirts in not very flattering depictios. People who dislike this shirt I wonder how they felt/feel about the ones I mention?
But it's our heritage!
Killing confederates is my heritage
I’m pretty sure that the problem with lynching was that it was extrajudicial murder and not that the wrong people were getting lynched.
It's not clear It's a lynching and not the result of a guilty conscience. Evidently hangings in MS are more often suicide instead of murder /s
- at least according to the law enforcement speaking to the local news
I mean, the lynching of innocent people as part of an ongoing terror campaign against a racial minority was definitely a big problem with it. There’s a reason people don’t care as much about outlaws getting hung or shot in the old west with a bare bones trial.
Unlike in the old west, with their trials followed by a hanging, typically people who are lynched are not given a trial. That’s why it is called extrajudicial.
Being okay with extrajudicial murder as long as it happens to the right people is immoral.
It’s immoral when the KKK does it to minorities just like it is immoral when anyone decides that their enemies don’t deserve due process before being murdered.
Surely noone could be upset about imagery depicting a person hanged to death.
