The American Civil Liberties Union apologized shortly after tweeting a photo of a baby wearing a free speech onesie and holding an American flag after critics denounced the picture because the child was white.
The ACLU captioned the photo of the child, which was tweeted out on Wednesday, “This is the future that ACLU members want.”
But progressives immediately flipped out because they interpreted the photo as an endorsement of white supremacy.

I actually thought someone retweeted a ‘white genocide’ account onto my timeline. https://t.co/X6SGsxwjPh

It didn’t take long for the apology to come and the group to issue a correction.

The ACLU then followed up clarifying that they were only trying to promote the group’s onesie.
PSA: The future we want is babies in ACLU onesies.

The civil liberties group has faced backlash recently for defending the organizers of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia that turned violent. It has since announced it will no longer automatically defend groups that bring guns to protests or rallies.
“It’s neither a blanket no or a blanket yes,” said the ACLU’s executive director Anthony Romero. “The events of Charlottesville require any judge, any police chief and any legal group to look at the facts of any white-supremacy protests with a much finer comb.”
“If a protest group insists, ‘No, we want to be able to carry loaded firearms,’ well, we don’t have to represent them. They can find someone else.”
They should have shown a black kid eating some watermelon. That would have been much better.
Stubb,
Most obviously your comment is well received.
The endless race issue bickering? We are SO sick
of it. Regardless what is said, what picture is
shown…it is obviously racist and offensive.
The ultimate sin is racism…therefore, every
picture ACLU posts must have a rep. from each
race. Alas, that will be offensive as well. There
is no answer to this propaganda…it is planned
that way.

The fact that a little kid (who looks a lot like one of my grand babies ) can trigger these malcontents says much about their emotional state.
I will volunteer for the position of therapist/ head torturer in the fema camps if it be full of these retards.
you should have seen me at the deli counter yesterday trying to order cheese — when they called my number I was about to yell out “A pound of white american please, i mean LOL WHITE American, I mean…..” and just said oh I’ll take a half a pound of the wisconsin cheddar cause I didn’t want to make any trouble – you know – just in case …….
Oy! I might have to take a vow of silence for a few weeks
Great idea jersey I will try that next time I go to the store and see some hippity dip pity snowflakes at the deli. As it is now I don’t get to the store that often, when I do I wear my pepe shirt and my hat with a crusader cross. I get sideways looks from many. The wife won’t even take me to whole foods anymore. She always thinks I am trying to start trouble.
yeah…same here. Shameless agitator that I am, hubby agrees to go out in public with me now only if I agree to wear one of my new duct tape bangle bracelets – just in case. Vintage Rose is my favorite one to match with outfits! I even score the outer section in lip length pieces with my swiss army knife ahead of time lol http://www.joann.com/printed-duck-tape-br-duct-tape-1.88-in.-x-10-yd.-vintage-floral/15347560.html#prefn1=type&prefv1=Duct%20Tape&start=1
pass notes, don’t speak.
Anyone that doesn’t believe and advocate that all races are superior to Whites and that Whites are the cause of all the worlds problems is a racist.
The only organizations I respect anymore are those that simply say FU to the snowflakes when they are triggered.
Unfortunately, those organizations are few and far between.
I was fine with the ACLU’s original post. The backlash and resulting backpedaling is bullshit.
The good news is that all this bullshit is making it easy for the most ignorant and apolitical white people to realize what’s happening.
Even the UN thinks the US is headed for civil war.
Persnic,
Yes, and it is being pushed and egged on by those
super rich guys for profits. Maybe more so by a
manifestation of the utter contempt they feel for
the average Joes, their countrymen.
The rich will live in their “forever inherited” safe
havens, smug in their belief that their vile behavior
will not come back to haunt them. So it really IS
a class war…and the perps want an ocean of
distance between themselves and their “subjects.”
Still others watch from the wings applauding…
and they are also our enemies.
Well, this is absolutely shocking, astounding I tell you. Those brave American Antifa patriots, that are attempting to achieve peace through violence against sixty-some million White Supremacists, have now established a new cell called the Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement in Philadelphia – otherwise known as the erstwhile City of Brotherly Love.
They are seeking funds to go to war against law enforcement, for the expropriation of goods, lands and tools, and the Cooperative Economy as well as for their dauntless plans for the abolition of gender. Those bold patriotic Minutemen! Maybe they should contact the Obama Foundation. I’m pretty sure he’d cough up a few million.

Awesome. The best thing any of us can do is encourage the left to go full-retard (they seem to be aiming for hyper-retard) and then publicize the left’s own stupid ideas.
It’s easy for the dull middle to glom on to condemn supposed white supremacism. It will be even easier for them to condemn outright communism when the left makes it obvious.
Exactly the M.O.
The Democrats, the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ‘em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.

Very powerful piece here……

What, they need to buy tools?
Stone-tipped spears aren’t good enough for them?
What a pile of liberal white apologetic BLM Snowflake whiney pile of shit . I am insulted so let’s change the rotation of the earth and make shit run up hill .
All people who invest so much time in looking for something to be insulted about could perhaps spend more time fixing something that is really fucked up . Quadrillion’s of debt floating about in our economic cesspool created by lunatics and we just spent 8 years bailing out the culprits and paying them bonuses as they quadrupled down on the method that fucked everything up . The real warnings started in the 60’s but no fuck that let’s go to the moon and master bate , kill 58,000 and keep on trucking ! God knows when but they’re doing it again , look out kid the keep it all hide
Over a fucking onesie ????
This is so stupid. I used to poke fun at my buddy John for his stupid obsession with niggers. I said he probably would try to pick on a black kid and call him ‘NIGGER!”
So now we see this improbable shit come to life as a white innocent is singled out and called “RACISS” by some idiot who is offended by anybody who happens to be white.
It is stupid, moronic and on a level below pig shit. The black dude may crow about his making the ACLU apologize but I would be embarrassed to….mothefucker reminds me of a stupid joke the bald lieutenant made at my son’s expense…he walked in while we were working on the typewriter, my son was on the floor playing with the pens and pencils. He looked down and said, What a mess. I said, we’ll pick it up. He came back with, I was talking about the kid. Fucking asshole, you just do not fuck with anybody’s kid, there are places you do not go. This idiot is a fucking asshole too. The kid owes him nothing. He is just a grown up bully who is less mature than the poor kid.
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Children of anyone even my enemies are off limits till they become adults or old enough to wade into the fray such as Chelsea Clinton . Even when the Bush sisters were fucking it up in college clubbing partying or if Obama’s girls were in the same shit . Personally I have been disappointed with every president and candidate since JFK and so far they have all not surprised me as to their total foolishness regarding economic matters and foreign and domestic policies . Way to much military foreign intervention but their minor children and their wives are off limits . Hillary Clinton was an exception because of her exceptional ruthless attitude for any and all even those assisting her they commit arkinside !
Too much of America is either Orwellian or Huxley-inspired, in a grotesque race to the bottom. A saving grace is that the Devil will take them in the end. He is welcome to them!
“This is the future that ACLU members want.”
Because the ‘divershitty’ alternative is SO much better. SMH.

Demarcates have lost the black vote,is this all they got?Notice Charletsville antifa blacks in front very few,so dress whites in black masks black cloths behind them. Why?
