Idiots and their T-Shirts -- Irony is dead to them

[packman]

Do they realize that in many parts of this country, they wouldn't be considered a "family"

[Brainstormy]

1. WTF? Seriously

is there just no shame? What a "Loving" couple! Though I doubt they would even get my jibe.

[Mike Nelson]

2. Wow...

… just wow.

3. They have no sense of history

and no understanding of how bad things used to be for them. 50 years ago they would have been on the t-shirt...Learn something, PLEASE!

4. I was at a gathering last weekend & a young woman said,

"If voting made a difference they wouldn't let you vote." I said, "They didn't let you vote. If you were living 100 years earlier you wouldn't be allowed to vote, because you're a woman."


"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing." ~Karl Rove

10. Well, Rove Was Right About One Thing

There is a heavy libertarian streak among engineers and other technical people around here. I'm unabashedly liberal so they occasionally will ask, "Why would you vote for democrats when you make and have the kind of money you do." May answer has been, for years, "I'm far too educated to believe in the silliness Republicans peddle."

5. When I was in High School in the early 1960s

I had a friend with an Irish first name and a Hispanic last name. Her mother's family, although not Irish, had nothing to do with her because she was half Hispanic and her mother, their daughter had married a <ugly name for a Mexican>. Back then, marrying out of your ethnicity, let alone race, often caused a giant rejection by the "offended" family. Another case in point -- a Caucasian female married a man of Japanese descent. Her family disowned her.

The above pictured pair are clueless beyond belief. Maybe someone should send them a copy of the case of Loving v. Virginia (1967) 388 US 1, 87 S. Ct. 1817, 18 L. Ed. 2d 1010. Perhaps their parents and most certainly for sure their grandparents would have been arrested and prosecuted in some states for interracial parenthood.

6. +1000

What a coincidence. As I was reading the posted replies, I was thinking of the Loving case. Found this thoughtful article...

8. Thanks for the link.

The movie based on the case is one of my all time favorite movies. There is nothing better than finding a great love. And...the Loving case was a basis for the Same Sex Marriage case ruling by SCOTUS. So sad that the couple in that picture are so hateful and so clueless. Families come in many varieties and what is a family for some is not the only way a family is formed.

12. You're welcome. I haven't seen the movie but I will definitely look it up. Also, I totally agree

with your assessment of this young couple and family diversity.

[Iggo]

7. ...and that the same people used biblical arguments against interracial marriage, too?

You're right.

They're idiots.

9. I'd like to see them tell that to someone's face

11. Technically....her shirt is correct.

From what I can tell, there are TWO families on her shirt, so it would not be "a" family.
