Pura Vida

For the sake of the discussion, what did the shirt say?

It was a picture of the Confederate flag with the words "It's a white thing, you wouldn't understand."

Hated it.

Appreciate the perspective (and humor). I guess in the end it would have fallen on deaf ears and could possibly have escalated somehow. I can’t help but wonder if red neck mom & dad worry they or their punk-a son will eventually offend the wrong person and get hurt?

I attended a Reds game over the 4th of July weekend. A family was sitting next to us that included a mom and dad and teen-age son. The son was wearing a t-shirt with a racist comment (think white supremacy type message). My family and I were surprised he was allowed into the game wearing the t-shirt but can only assume the ticket taker was busy or didn’t notice.

I wanted to say something so bad but didn’t. I just really wanted to tell them how offensive it was and given the 4th of July weekend seemed especially inappropriate and unpatriotic.

Anyway it’s been gnawing on me all week (that I didn't say anything) and really just wanted to vent. Any thoughts? Anyone care to say how you may have handled?
