Recipe for stupid.
Make a country music song about racism in which you complain about how hard it is to run around in a Confederate flag and not have people look at you like you're an asshole.
Mostly people are doing that because you're an asshole.
Flags mean something, idiot. They're symbols. People rally around them. People freak out when you burn them. They do these things because the entire fucking point of a flag is it is a symbol for something.
You run around wearing a symbol of something, chances are people are going to assume you support that thing. Its this wacky thing people do. You're not a victim, you're an idiot. You're wearing a symbol and you're too stupid to even realize there are repercussions for that.
And don't give me that "Its a band shirt" shit. You have chosen to drape yourself in the symbol of a band that chose to include a symbol of hate. Still wearing a Confederate Flag, asshat. Not better.
If you ran around in a cross, people will assume you're a Christian. If you run around with a swastika, people are going to assume you're a Nazi. And an asshole.
And if you run around in a Confederate flag, they're going to assume you're a racist redneck asshat. And they would be correct. You're so drowning in your sense of privilege you are oblivious to the fact that you do not have a "right" not to be looked at like an asshole when you're being an asshole. You might assume they are looking at you as a "racist" and you don't think its fair because you didn't mean to be. Or even more ridiculously that you are being blamed for the mistakes of other people in the past. No, if someone looks at you in your Confederate Flag shirt like you're an asshole, its not because they think you are an immortal slave owner or personally responsible for the atrocities committed by others in the past. See, the thing is, they're looking at you like your an asshole because right now, in this very moment, you have chosen to drape yourself in the symbol of a horrible horrible thing like its a cutsie fucking fashion statement. You're not an "accidental racist". You are quite intentionally an asshole. Right now, in that moment, standing there in your hate flag shirt.
And you will be treated accordingly. You will be looked at accordingly. You will be judged, not for the mistakes of total strangers in a time past, but for your own astounding douchebaggery assholeness right this minute.
Its a thing people do. Treat people draped in flags that symbolize hate like they're assholes.
And then there is the equation of fashion accessories with a symbol of hate thing. No, a "do rag" isn't the same as a Confederate Flag. People didn't rally round the do rag while enslaving, beating and selling people's families. A do rag is kind of like a scrunchie. Because ITS A FUCKING HAIR ACCESSORY. If you are intimidated by a hair accessory, you're an ignorant fuckat. You are also a total fucking pussy.
Lookout, I think that guy has a banana clip.
Gold chains are not the same as slave chains. Equating a fashion accessory and the means of bondage for an entire group for a really long time is just reinforcing the whole asshole image.
