it's insensitive, regardless of intent. very few ww2 collectors display nazi regalia to the public.

That's somewhat what I was thinking. I honestly believe she isn't racist. I just think she's an idiot for putting the sign up. That's just asking for trouble.viranimus said:I am completely offended by this.
Not because of some over inflated racist undertones. I am an antiques collector and the notion that any antiques collector worth their salt would display their item exposed to the wind/rain/snow other elements is astoundingly offensive. If you would do that your not a collector of antiques, your just decorating your place with useless trash.
People tend not to have their antique Nazi flags flying in the front garden, however.krazykidd said:But she wasn't being a bigot , it's an antique sign , like anything from nazi germany , people collect those too , doesn't make them racist , it makes them a collector.People collect those stuff . Now i would not have put it on a pool gate but no matter where she put it this would have came up.usmarine4160 said:I'm very confused about this story but the thing I caught was it's a private pool on private land so the owner is well within her rights to be a bigot. Not getting any sympathy from me over her sign being stolen though
Similar to this. Not that I give a shit about antiques, but if she does like she says, I find it hard to believe she'd stick it there. If it was unintentional then she is fucking dense beyond belief. Although it was quite weird when she used the term "white rights".viranimus said:I am completely offended by this.

Yes, and the reason for that is to compensate for the social and cultural ramifications of a people being royally fucked for several hundred years.Timberwolf0924 said:So, it's alright for there to be all black colleges, but white people can't have an all white swimming pool.
Meme, a friend found that on 4chan.Volf99 said:was that from a movie, book, song, tv show, meme, or a quote from someone?A Random Reader said:I don't have the picture that I got this from, but it went something like this:
"You shouldn't feel proud about great things other white people have done. You should feel bad about bad things other white people have done."
But that's more double standards.
Another:
"I dislike white people because they are racist."
I also laughed.MassiveGeek said:I lol'd.
Alright, I admit I'm fond of fucking horrible jokes. And being offended means nothing, so, whatever you know.
