She said it didn't occur to her that people might be more sensitive about Trump after Charlottesville.
LOL! "But I also feel like it shouldn't matter if it was a black school or not, especially since they were in Washington, DC. Because DC is nothing but the national capital, not a place where real people (esp real black people) live their lives, and people there need to act as if they are the federal govt. SMH. |
"Welcome" = not illegal to do it. But profoundly dumb unless you are trying to provoke a reaction, or are really just too stupid to know you will. |
They're kids you idiot |
| The left knows no self control or personal responsibility so they say this was provoking or these girls wanted a reaction... Please, no grown man or woman should harass and steal from16 year old girls for wearing patriotic clothing. College campuses around the country are turning into safe spaces unless you support your president. Gonna be an interesting next 7.5 years |
Game of thrones says different!

You are smart enough to know that Howard was started by a former white officer in the Union army who brought his volunteers from Maine to DC to fight in the first battle of Manassas. |
To many PoC, DJT's campaign slogan, his paraphernalia (MAGA hats etc), his entire brand = racism, bigotry. Its pretty much synonymous with the confederate flag at this point. These girls knew this, and they are playing it up for the cameras (Fox News) and right wingers who take joy in make 'libs' angry or upset. And then they turn around and tell, say they are the victims of 'reverse racism' (doesn't exist) and then tell PoC how they should feel about it. Its really sad TBH. The conservative agenda to preserve whiteness will be the end of us. |
What would you do if they visited Brandeis? |
Its named after a white man. What does that have to do with anything? You want to "take it back?" |
What would *I* do? Nothing, because I am nowhere near Brandeis. I'm not doing anything now either, except opining on some internet message board while procrastinating on work. I would expect that most students at Brandeis would shake their heads at what morons the girls are. Some would probably say something. But because Trump has more of a mixed bag and mixed support with Jews than with blacks, I would not take the hats to be quite as aggressive if they were worn on Brandeis' campus as they are when worn to Howard. |
Agree completely. This could be a planned right wing influence operation, but I doubt it. That's a progressive tactic not commonly pursued by the right. |
| My son's white friend wore a Trump shirt to a predominantly white Arlington school and was met with pretty much the same response. It has nothing to do with them being white. They're as clueless as someone going to a wedding in a bikini, a funeral in a red dress, a KKK rally in a burka or to work in your nightclub clothes. It's legal, but insensitive and inappropriate and stupid not to expect some kind of negative response. |
| They were on a school trip- they were at Howard for lunch and said they had bought the hats that day. Maybe tone deaf but I don't think they were there to "start sh!t"- maybe they are from a place out of the area w lots of trump fans and don't understand the intolerance of D.C. Locals for alternative viewpoints. They are kids. |
I am going to union city PA. Must be something in the water |
