Some of my closest friends wear theses t-shirts. It's a t-shirt..

Even when it sends a likely white supremacist message?

It doesn’t send that message to most of America who aren’t seeking to be offended by anything and everything [/quo


I don't think it sends that message. I've met people less racist in Georgia wearing those tshirts then DC people. When I mentioned that my boyfriend is from India the DC people just gave me a shocked look. A few of them said nothing. In Georgia that did not happen but I was in grad school.

Disgusting. Who would wear this offensive and cheap looking crap? Trashy.

It doesn't. So there's that.

Yep. Of course, your rational, normal response has no place on a site in which anything and everything is seen as offensive. And very, very nefarious.

You people can't even spell swastika and suddenly you're experts on how the Vineyard Vines of the south is promoting subliminal white supremacy messages.

First off, there's no SJW going on here. The original poster asked "...Am I wrong...?" SJWs don't ask if they're wrong. They crash into conversations and shout at everyone. This isn't SJW.

You don't have to dig to find meaning when you see 'SS' on a t-shirt. You aren't trying to be offended. You are simply asking "How in the world could a company have missed that?"

I know it's not intentional, but it IS pretty clueless. While you may not personally care about SS on a shirt, the fact is for the last 80 years Waffen-SS is really the only thing those letters have ever meant. And for every example you can show me of 'SS' being innocently used in some monogram, I can show you a crowd of people silently shaking their heads, realizing it's probably pointless to explain it.

OP isn’t the only one who noticed this:

I think anything southern these days gives off the air of white supremacy anyway.

[Anonymous]

It’s stupid to think that there is anything going on here in reference to white supremacy. And yet, I am still terribly offended... the merchandise is so tacky.

[Anonymous]

Um, whoa. That logo is bananas. How could they not see it?!? And yeah, the eye-watering tackiness just adds insult to injury.

[Anonymous]

Guys, you can stop asking “how could they not see it”. THEY KNOW. Does that mean every dumb kid who buys this crap is intentionally spreading a message of white supremacy? No. Do some or all of the people who run the company have white supremacist beliefs? It’s beyond clear that they do.

Please enlighten us— why in the world did you bump a year-old thread to post this??

Just off the top of my head, Secret Service. And my son's favorite, Silly Sally. Neither strike me as Nazis.

I'm not one to usually agree with with these things, but it looks total nazi to me.

That’s quite the sweeping generalization.

It’s convenient for you because you can sweep away those who see something differently than you and file their feeling or idea away as silly or ridiculous. This then gives you cover not to examine yourself or dog whistles.

It gives you cover not to listen or take another view into consideration.

Or you are denying the obvious because you agree with it.

[Anonymous]

I bet these same people chastising people for not liking the dog whistles have their panties in a bunch over “Black Lives Matter” and probably claim all lives matter.

Lordy, lord, give me patience, please.
