I don't think you'd wear that shirt if you didn't want to put out a message.


How's that? People can just put a shirt on for the sake of putting something on and not to spread some kind of message.

Although the symbol has a non-racial history it is has been used by the U.S. mens soccer team and Metallica over the years it has also been adopted by political groups like the Tea Party and some Libertarian groups, as well as gun-toting supporters of the Second Amendment

It has therefore also become a symbol of more conservative and far right individuals.

This is such a stupid reason to get butthurt over things and give them power over you. I'm sure those same groups use american flags, drink water and eat hamburgers.

Prime example of getting a story out and being offending without actually researching anything and knowing what anything means. It happens all the time. What can we be outraged about today, make the headline punchy and blast it on social media for massive internet gasps! Look at this conservative so he's a racist!

That eminem song thing was badass, thanks for posting that!

The more ridiculous claims of racism make headlines the sooner people are going to stop caring about racism altogether.


and the worse part is who does this benefit most? actual racists. heck, you've probably seen it happen. a genuine racism statement gets made, person gets called out, and the racist hits back with "you lefties call everything racist"

some users on this board have certainly taken advantage


It does seem to diminish actual racism.

I don't know anything about the specific church here, but I'd wager most churches have something in their by-laws that would be seen as homophobic but it probably isn't something that most of the people attending are aware is there and isn't what the sermon is ever about.

Also betting a good chunk of people dont pay attention to the sermons and only go to church cause thats what a good christian is supposed to do.

True, plus in Pratt's case I *assume* he is probably away filming or doing press far more Sundays than he's home and going to church, anyway.

Not saying that everyone is interpreting that message correctly.

They're not. It's a shirt bought from a non-profit organization helping wounded vets with head trauma.

Pratt's message with the shirt literally is 'I want to help fund brain treatment research.'

TOTALLY fucking racist!

If someone wears that shirt or flies that flag, red flags are instantly raised for me lol.


Why? As far as I know, it just means they want less government interference in their lives. Two of my hispanic neighbors have a "don't tread on me" license plate on their cars haha.

Seems you're getting the "don't tread on me" message mixed up with it's counter part, "join or die".
