No...try again...

What do you think they're mocking? Think hard now.

Funny, it reminds me of the black pride salute, shouts, organizations.
I guess they kinda got to get over this one.

"He said the group was particularly troubled that parents allowed a young man to purchase the t-shirt."

Why do I think that this guy would be alright with a 15 yr. old being buggered by an older man that he had met in a bus station bathroom?

You know you're on target when you are taking flak.

outrage over t-shirts bearing the slogan “Straight Pride”

the “white pride” slogan adopted by racist groups

So I'm guessing there's something wrong with me because I'm not ashamed to be a "straight" "white" person.

It's never publicized when these people see a normal couple with kids walking (in a certain area where they live) in a large city like San Francisco and shout “breeders” at them.

These gay, lesbian, transgender, whatever groups should just keep doing what they’re doing, and every straight person in the country will despise them with a purple passion. I saw a commercial recently lecturing viewers not to say “that’s so gay!” and ending with, “KNOCK IT OFF!” They’re ordering us not to say something, dictating to us what we can wear. They’d better remember that they are a minority, and if they’re going to get their demands met, it won’t happen unless enough people in the majority sympathize with them.

I was gunna buy a Pontiac, but then I remembered what Pontiac was an acronym for and bought a Ford instead.

That's the same reasoning I used to stop watching NASCAR... ;)

Did you catch FOX last night? They were deconstructing some newsbabe's comments. Seems that Newt Gingrich said that "Obama would be better served by pursuing a jobs creation strategy, than by shooting three pointers at his photo-op" - or somesuch.

Newsbabe took exception to this. Said that Gingrich was a racist using code words, because "everyone knows that black people are all good athletes".

Man, I'm smarter than the average bear and even *I* had a problem making that stretch.

Please. The libs have orchestrated a plan to infiltrate the Tea Parties to discredit the patriots. I believe there are entire websites dedicated to effort, from what I’ve heard. The only ones wearing these shirts are Hussein’s followers.

“Code words” showing “racism.” Then she goes and actually says that all black people are good athletes? Wow, that’s a bit of a caricture isn’t it? Does she know that all asians are smart, all blacks are good athletes, and all Jews are rich? Amazing what libs can get away with saying.

Straight out of the Marxist playbook. Only “oppressed minorities” can claim the legitimacy of righteous pride. The middle class must bear the burden of guilt. They have no right to be proud.

All class struggles are zero-sum games.

If you have “Black Pride” or “Gay Pride”
Can it be said that criticizing others for having “Straight Pride” or even “White Pride”, is just a reverse prejudge.....
.... isn’t that what it really is all about.
