So now every group that exists has to specifically say that they arent a white supremacist group or you think they are?

I'm tired of because some fringe group has co opted something, we should cut all times from it. The Betsy Ross flag is historically important, we shouldn't just let it go. It's our flag and we should be proud of it and tell the extremists to find something else instead of a flag that represents this nation. This isn't the dumbass Confederate naval flag, this is an American flag.

Screw Nike for contributing to this nonsense. I love the Gadsden flag, but the damn crazy arse Tea Party messed with that one.

This is the exact thinking that allows things like this to happen.

They are a white supremacist group solely because they didn’t say that they weren’t a white supremacist group?

Scruffy can only imagine how many groups and businesses are out there that don’t explicitly state that they aren’t white supremacist groups.

Hell, by your standards, if the NAACP doesn’t explicitly state that they aren’t a white supremacy group, they are too.

The boogeyman is everywhere.

They are probably also Russians too.


I'm not saying that your logic is wrong here. I'm saying that I think it's the wrong logic to apply.

They don't want to come out and say "We're white supremacists" they want to avoid unwanted attention. That's the same reason they used the Ross flag and not the confederate flag. That is an open declaration. They want to claim it's just heritage. This is the new tactic.

Is it possible that I'm wrong about this bunch? Sure. But I wouldn't bet on it.
