Oh, I see. The phrase was made up by slave owners as a warning to those that wanted to abolish slavery. Or something. So, if the cap was offensive, why didn't the management folks punish the hat? What if, perhaps, someone were to wear a cap or shirt with a US Navy jack with the same words on it? Even more troubling, when did we cancel the old "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"? Guess today's precious little snowflakes never heard that one.

What a dumb African!

Gadsden didn’t design the motto; he designed the cap.

The Gadsden flag is “rasis”? ROTFLMAO! Those people up in the District of Corruption are doing way too many recreational drugs.

The idiocy generated by PC crap regarding the Confederate Flag is spreading. Yet a NAZI Flag or hammer and sickle flag is just fine.

I find idiocy offensive yet I don’t sue idiots. It is rather impressive that this individual knows the origin of the flag and the gentleman who designed it. One may ponder whether freedom and its inevitable spread would have occurred had it not been for alleged racists like Gadsden. What did Clint Eastwood say recently about us all being a bunch of PC wussies?

How about the Bernie and Hitlery stickers? I;m offended by those losers, especially those still with their stupid Bernie car stickers. He lost and started barking to his true master Hitlery.

“Racial harassment” is the new, boundless frontier to be boldly explored and exploited.

Complainant stated that he found the cap to be racially offensive to African Americans because the flag was designed by Christopher Gadsden, a “slave trader & owner of slaves.”

Yale and Harvard were built and founded by slave owners and slave traders.
Let's call them colleges of harassment.
(I'd be OK with that - lol)

We need some black conservative group to start filing complaints demanding that the Democrat Party and all of its literature, symbols, campaign materials, etc. be outlawed because of its exclusive history as the agent and facilitator of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, the Ku Klux Klan, etc.

The Democrat Party should be forcibly liqidated and its assets used to pay slavery reparations, as well as reparations to the descendants of Northern troops who died in the Civil Way.

Membership in the Democrat Party ought to be a permanent bar against holding any government job.

The ball cap could be considered a micro aggressive symbol since it was first worn by whites. COme to over think of it why are baseballs white? Oh my god, White Sox!!!

The Constitution and Declaration of Independence were drafted by owners of slaves. So leave and go to a country where they don’t have those documents or follow their principles.

At every level, our laws (and policies) are being shaped to cover every single exception, which is why idiotic things like this keep creeping up.

Laws should never take into account exceptions. Both the jury and the judge can nullify penalties for exceptions. ‘This is something that the law wasn’t built to prevent, therefore we’ll let it go.’

And honestly, the only way to clean up this national disaster is to start stripping out millions of laws and go back to the generic. Stop trying to twist laws to cover all exceptions and simply write laws simply.

It will take a gigantic effort and a very very strong leader to clean up this disaster, and there is exactly none in the House, and a couple senators which might have enough sanity left to actually do something.

Oh, and of course, eliminate the body of laws created by the courts and the executive and return law making solely to the legislative where it belongs.
