Serious question..If a person walked past you in the grocery
Jul 3, 2020, 1:51 PM

store with a WHITE LIVES MATTER T-shirt on, would you assume they were a racist?
Would it offend you in any way? Would it be wrong to disagree with the message of that t-shirt?

at least very insensitive,
If they were wearing an "All Lives Matter," I wouldn't think they were necessarily racist, just not very understanding of the conversation.
I would not be offended.
I don't know on the last question.

Yeah, forget the grocery store, have them walk into a Burger King in Baltimore and record the whole thing.

I would not be offended. I would assume they were probably racist. I wouldn't care.

There's no place for a "White Lives Matter" shirt in America in 2020, and to wear one is a deliberate middle finger to the people who truly feel that we have such significant racial issues and just feel, emotionally, beaten down. I'm not talking about the actual BLM, or the media pundits, or the looters or rioters or Antifa or whatever. I'm talking about the black American who doesn't support the madness but...yeah...thinks maybe we have some more to do to even the playing field...and yeah...thinks maybe the cops could approach their communities with a less-aggressive approach. If I'm THAT person, I'm not demanding anyone's allegiance to BLM. I'm not demanding defunding the cops or demanding a list of changes before I support my country. But yeah, if I saw that shirt, I'd just get depressed. I don't feel that way about walking past an "All Lives Matter" shirt, which is a statement of unity despite the nay-sayers' opinions.
For the record, I don't think I would be "offended"...I would just think it was in poor taste. Like when I see someone walking around with a t-shirt with foul language on it. I'm not offended, but it's poor and very tone deaf.

If a waitress said something like that to me, I'd punch her right in the mouth.

store with a WHITE LIVES MATTER T-shirt on, would you assume they were a racist?
Would it offend you in any way? Would it be wrong to disagree with the message of that t-shirt?
If I ran into it at a gas station 2 years ago, I'd think he was a white supremacast. If I see it today, in this current political climate it would be easy to say that it's merely a Trump supporter, not necessarily a racist. But clearly a contrarian.
