Woman arrested for assaulting man wearing MAGA hat on Cape Cod

[crimsonaudio]

It's all the racism that keeps giving it away as racist. Not my fault that they keep telling me what they are and I listen. I'm not going to assume that every single person with a Confederate flag is racist because I know a lot of the same types of people you know, but it's going to increase the odds exponentially and that's also because I know a lot of those types of people.

That's precisely my point - just as you know folks who have confederate flags who are not racist (I do as well), I know quite a few Trump fans who aren't. I think the assumption is a bit of a leap, personally, just as someone assuming racism due to a confederate flag is a jump.

While 'keep your hands to yourself' is a simple way to distill the message (and I have no problem with that message even while not feeling sorry for the people out trying to provoke a reaction that get more of a reaction than they expect) my quibble with the short skirt statement is just that they aren't in the same ballpark as what happened to this guy.

Fair enough, I get your point. I was thinking in more general terms overall, and I agree that this guy didn't have to deal with anything remotely comparable to sexual assault or rape.

In spite of all mankind's efforts, racism exists everywhere and always will. I believe it is how someone acts on his/her racism rather than the fact that they have racist feelings. I have been around people wearing MAGA hats and while I feel they are idiots and probably racist; I have never said anything to them. If you act on your racist beliefs then you should not be surprised if there are personal repurcussions.

it goes beyond individual "bad" racist acts (yelling n word, klan crap, etc). there is a pretty extensive casual racism that exists within our society. mlk spoke at length about it.

LOL. Nah, many people self select. Some seem to have a tribal need. It's not a whole lot different than street gangs, just without the violence and other crime. Hmmm, on second thought ......

I was going to start a Tribe, but everybody wanted to be a Chief. Only one of us was qualified to be the Chief.!

I see.....it's the hat that tipped you off. Well done!

I did say 80/20. Congrats on scouring the internet to find a black guy wearing a MAGA hat.

As luck would have it - I actually just ran across a video created by the brother in the pic......thus, I give you Mr. YG Nyghtstorm........

More MAGA cap wearers.......and their take......

Earle?

This thread looked so uninteresting, I missed this entirely. In my case, I can always punt to Brett when I don't want to be chief... "D
