Not the Gadsden Flag, but the Navy Jack.

??PLEASE READ AND SHARE??

We at @forgedclothing would like to address the ridiculous accusations that @prattprattpratt supports white supremacy because he wears our “Don’t Tread On Me” T-Shirt.
First and foremost, we are a Navy-SEAL founded, patriotic, and military-inspired brand. Our CEO and members of our Forged team served alongside military service members of all races, cultures, and ethnicities. As we fought for our country, many of us wore the 1st Navy Jack flag on the sleeves of our uniforms, which the Gadsden military-authorized flag is based on. This incredibly powerful symbol was one of the first flags flown by our Continental Navy since 1776 and is still widely used by our military forces today.
Secondly, @prattprattpratt has been a great friend and loyal supporter of Forged since our paths crossed back in 2011. Since then, his support has helped both @forgedclothing and the @murphchallenge raise millions of dollars for military and law enforcement families and foundations. He has never ONCE asked for a dime in return and has always used his own funds and resources to help promote these campaigns in honor of others. @prattprattpratt is by far one of the most humble and selfless Americans we have ever known. We will ALWAYS have his back.

And finally, we are not @nike. The four tweets that have been posted by small-minded people with myopic views (one of which has already been deleted) DO NOT scare us. We will not back down and recall our Gadsden Flag shirts. Instead, we are going to re-release this design. So to the few ignorant critics offended by our patriotism and Chris Pratt’s patriotism...Standby. This one is for you! ???? PLEASE SHARE THIS MESSAGE AND HELP US SUPPORT @prattprattpratt AGAINST THESE ACCUSATIONS.

It doesn’t even shock me anymore with the amount of people in this country that will look for any minute detail to call someone a racist if they disagree with.

So what you’re saying is that we should let other people define our intentions and be good with it.

It’s becoming ever more difficult to remind myself that this is the same country I grew up in, and that these mentally deranged idiots are actually part of that country. How they come into existence and continue to plague this country with their insanity, as if it makes any good sense whatsoever is a puzzle I’m still wrestling with.

So some chick in the UK wrote about a couple of people on Twitter being outraged over Pratt’s t-shirt?

I think this is the first I’ve seen of it. And I’m generally left of moderate.

Good luck. I looked last night, and either they are having a huge run on all of their inventory or they just have very little to actually sell. Nothing seemed to be in stock. What is available is small or or medium, and the shirt in question is no longer available. They say they will bring the design back, though.

Tea Party was astro-turf'd by big business to get people to be more anti-regulation for their own purposes.

And baws ate that shite up.

Far Right political groups like the Tea Party, as well as gun-toting supporters of the Second Amendment.

It has therefore become a symbol of more conservative and far right individuals and, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission of the US, it also is “sometimes interpreted to convey racially-tinged messages in some contexts.”


Jesus Christ these people are irrational pussies and manipulators of truth and rationality.
