The double standard is the point but you may have already been conditioned to think that’s ok.

There are thousands upon thousands of double standards all throughout life, some of which benefit you and some which don't. But if you are a white man like myself, you really don't have too much to complain about, all things considered.

But you need to know deep down that you do not have a right to be offended - meaning no one on planet earth has the obligation to avoid offending you.

And any man who goes through life constantly pointing out how X and Y are unfair and offensive to his sensibilities is likely overcompensating for his own mismanagement of his own life.

A real man makes his own way and doesn't bitch about others attempting to make theirs.

Oh please. Spare me the virtue signalling. I have no problem with them wearing the cloth. I do take issue with the double standard. Whites should not be the only group not allowed to celebrate their identity. And before you say, "Oh, but Whites are the majority," exactly when will Whites be allowed to celebrate their heritage and identity? When they are finally a minority? You sure it will be ok even then?

Again, Did I say I had a problem with the Black students wearing a Kente cloth?

I don't. I just know that the White students would have hell to pay if they dared to wear something to honor their European heritage. If you don't see this double standard, you are blind.

What makes you think I think they do not? I just think Whites do too!

It doesn't hurt me specifically, but the double standard HAS weakened the cohesiveness of White society as Whites are the only group not allowed to advocate for their collective interests.

What the hell are you talking about? I have no pic in my profile. And till others pointed it out, I had no idea idiots would think I was using "ButLove" to mean anything other than the fact I live in GA but love Alabama.

I hope you lose all access to post on this board.


I hope you never have the ability to damage the First Amendment more than it already has been damaged. Keep virtue signalling. It will get you only so far though.

Free speech has never been guaranteed anywhere beyond the government.

If you want to bitch about things, at least learn how things work first.

The first amendment applies to government, not private property.

Except there is no double standard here because everything NOT including what those 2 people were wearing is.....



wait for it....


White European Heritage.

They ain't naked, where do you think all those traditions and shite like the gowns they are wearing and so forth comes from?

I don't see a double standard, I see ignorant people who just want to be upset.

I know how things work. I am not a dummy. Yes, private corporations have the right to limit speech, but encouraging them to limit speech violates the spirit of the first amendment and American tradition. It is part of the reason why social media monopolies are banning opinions they don't like. And it WILL affect the next election. It is "woke capitalism." And it is destroying our ability to communicate without fear.

I think a lot of "woke SJWs" would have problem with you labeling graduation robes and ceremonies as White. Are you saying only Whites wore clothes for special events? Sure sounds like it.

Yes, but people should still promote free speech, especially in public settings. The Univ of Alabama is not a private space.

European heritage is honored by default. That's why we don't need to have extra shite to stand out. The standard robes themselves are honoring European culture.


Ah ok, if it is just about the kind of clothing one can wear to graduation. Point taken. But is not! So then you have no problem with Whites starting organizations on campuses to honor and preserve their increasingly derided heritage. Great. Welcome aboard!

Actually, European heritage is now demonized, by default. According to the woke SJWs, only the White man has ever enslaved and colonized and appropriated.

You cried about a private message board dipshit.

And I disagree, you make a strong case that some people just need to shut the frick up.

No they wouldn't. Where do you think the tradition comes from? It's Western European.
