What kind of BS is this from the Washinton Times?? "Likewise" saying freepers wanted these shirts to demonstrate white pride?

[dead]

The Whites concede that some T-shirt buyers missed the point and saw them as a statement of white pride. Likewise, when a conservative Web site, FreeRepublic.com, ran a story about the North Dakota art exhibit, it was flooded with responses from readers asking where to buy the jerseys.

The “point” was whining about manufactured and silly preceived racial grievances.

We didn’t miss the point, we mocked it.

Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., New Jersey Democrat, in September introduced the Native Act to Transform Images in Various Environments

I wonder how long he worked to come up with that stupid source for an acronym.

With all the Indian casinos, how about the "One armed bandits" as a mascot name.

[Maelstrom]

This is really pathetic.

They insist that WE be insulted...and when we refuse?

HAHAHAHA!!!

Ok...but get this...in 5-10 years, they're going to realize that all the mascots celebrate either US or the very worst of society!

The "conservative" media rears it's head once again. </sarcasm>

You have to love it when the liberals get pissed off because white people aren't sensitive.

Atlanta White Devils ... that's one's hilarious .... of course, it might get you shot at ;)

The Paleskins would be a good name along the same lines ... pretty mellow and clear cut.

Do you think "Whities for Sharpton" shirts would sell as well?

Whities for Sharpton Co-Chair.

Did FR get a donation from this school? We enrichened them much more than they could have done locally. Call it a tithe.

"Cleveland Honkies! Where do I buy it? I think I'd pay $100 for a jersey so emblazoned. I'm completely serious," said one e-mailer.

Who is passing on e-mail?

[gitmo]

The reporter, Valerie Richardson, was smart not to include her email address. She probably doesn't want to know about how we were mocking the idea.

[doug from upland]

We didn't see it as White Pride. We were mocking the PC crowd.

[cksharks]

Why not mock the dufus that wrote this article.

We want the t-shirts out of laughing at them. Frankly, they would be a one of a kind, and unlike some people, we just ain't that thinned skinned.

I think this is a hoot.

Some other name ideas ...

How about the "Dead pacifists" ... image would be of a peacenik with a tank tread on his front.

or the "Cowards", the "Deadheads", the "Suburbanites",
the "Geniuses" (einstein pic), the "Yuppies", the "DWEM" (dead white european males) etc.

ANother Idea: I convinced a College intramural team to call themselves the "American Spectators" after the magazine.

"Cleveland Honkies! Where do I buy it? I think I'd pay $100 for a jersey so emblazoned. I'm completely serious," said one e-mailer.

That particular "e-mailer" was me. I remember the thread from about 8 months back, or so.

I love the Washington Times, but I'm not sure I completely agree with the tone of the article.

I remember that in clamoring to buy such shirts, nearly everyone on that original thread merely wanted to demonstrate that they weren't thin-skinned enough to suffer shame from such sports team representations.

The kind of craziness represented by "white pride" really had very little to do with it.....

[WOSG]

LOL, a guy named "Little Owl" wants *other folks* to think about name changing????

[PLK]

Sheesh, I thought the people at the Times had a clue. OF COURSE we were mocking the whole idea. Hello???

Obviously those writers at the Times are not too with the program. What a disappointment.

Like it or not, that post received a number of replies that could have been interpreted negatively. We KNOW the libs will utilize every opportunity to shut down debate by slinging mud on their opponents. It's a time tested and unfortunately, due to a media willing to "assist", successful censorship method.
