    Long story short, Chris Pratt, a cool guy, was wearing a cool shirt with a revolutionary war flag on it. This caused a few snowflakes on Twitter to get triggered.

    In response to this nothing event, Yahoo decided to write up an article about it where they attempted to connect Pratt's shirt with white supremacy. Yahoo failed so hard that they eventually had to change the title of their article and edit out all references to white supremacy.

    Why can't the media find something real to report on for a change? Millions of people are starving in Yemen right now. Maybe they should report on that instead of Chris Pratt's shirt? Just a thought.

    The sycophantic media are just minions for the DNC. They report on what they're told to report.

    Much ado about nothing.

    Faux News should concentrate on REAL News, like Trump's Racism, and drop their unhealthy fixation with The Squad.

    Really all this means is the left is afraid of patriotism.

    Patriotism is a direct competitor to marxism.

    Yahoo were the ones who blew this story up. They're desperate to find racism and controversy everywhere.

    See this? From your link:

    The article also included six posts from Twitter users knocking Pratt's shirt, one of them accusing the actor of wearing a shirt with a "white supremacist dogwhistle."

    SIX POSTS?:roflol:

    ^Most likely the "work" of RW Sockpuppet Accounts (so it could give RW Loons, like Shapiro and Goldberg, a reason to vent Mock Outrage).

    Totally LMAO at the whole RW FAKE "Narrative".:bored:

    Lol...Really all this means is that the right hates the USA and prefers to wallow in some reactionary nostalgia for the good 'ole days''.
    Real Americans would display our 50-state flag instead of some rump flag that no longer represents all of us.
    Bigots and racists who like to sport the nazi swastika love to claim that it is just an innocent ancient symbol, too.

    Of course it's fake. We haven't heard anything even remotely approaching the truth from the right ever since they started polishing turds for trump.
    Ignorance, lies, and hate are their narrative.

    Surfer logic, imo.

    Yes, am nostalgic.

    I'd proudly wave that flag.

    I doubt you can say that.

    You are correct

    Traitors display the fascist Rainbow flag and kneel for our fifty star flag. Real Americans condemn and hate those who kneel or fly a fascist ****** banner

    This OP has nothing to do with “6 posts” it has everything to do with yahoo news, which gets millions of views every day, falsely accusing a man of being a racist.
    Sometimes even just a tiny bit of reading comprehension coupled with the intelligence of a six year old could help you avoid future embarrassment. :salute:

    Is there any outrage over the celebs and other libs who wear Che Guevara T-shirts? The left seems to be really fond of that murdering homophobic racist.

    The post above is why I could never be a leftist. I just could not judge the patriotism of a person based on what they wear on a T-shirt. I could never resort to an attempt of shaming people because they do not toe some politically correct line determined by The Collective. I could not label people as bigots or racists over false claims of symbolism while using a completely intellectually dishonest example of symbolism used by true bigots and racists. I could never dictate what a person SHOULD wear in order to be acceptable to my own ideology.
