Michael Skolnick is a media producer and a big supporter of Black Lives Matter and other racialist social justice BS movements.
So when he tweeted about wearing an Obama shirt in a small town in Texas, people expected it would be about how racist everyone was.
Here’s what happened:
Walking around a very small Texas town that voted 80% for Trump with my Obama t-shirt on this morning has been quite the experience.

Notice how he’s vague about what happened. “Quite the experience.”
In the restaurant I had breakfast at one of the cooks came out from the kitchen and came over and said, “I just wanted to see your shirt.”

Yeah…. you mean he didn’t spit at you and chase you out of the restaurant angrily?!
In the gun store that I wanted to check out, the nice lady behind the counter told me when I walked in that “I looked like was lost.”

Call the ACLU!! Call Jesse Jackson!! Hitler opened a gun shop in Texas!!
It’s a very beautiful town + the people are very nice. Here for a wedding of a friend who worked for Obama, so I wore t-shirt to represent.

UH… so… nothing happened?

It sounds like he was hoping to provoke people and they just saw him as an oddity.
A LOT of people made a very similar point about his tweets:
1. Of course you'll get looks
2. You're seeking out confrontation (a gun shop, really?)
3. Be better than this
4. Try the oppo in Berkeley https://t.co/av1mxJmicC— Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) September 2, 2017
Would liberals in Berkeley or any other left-wing enclave be as tolerant about a Trump shirt? Yeah… not bloody likely.
This might be the last post for the day, so have yourselves a merry little open thread!
