Friday Humor: KKK Clan Member Or England Soccer Fan?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With minutes to go until England begins its World Cup Friendly warm-up against Peru, it appears the supporters will be sporting a somewhat unusual attire. While we have grown used to outrageous costumes in the past, as RT reports, the similarity between "England's Wearable Flag" and a "Ku Klux Klan Outfit" are a little too close for comfort...

 

 

As RT reports, a UK supermarket’s wearable England World Cup flag promotion provoked a storm across social media on Friday after the peaked white hood – supposedly designed to protect the wearer from rain – reminded many of the racist Ku Klux Klan.

 

 

Social media is abuzz...

 

A spokeswoman for the supermarket chain responded to the outrage.

“We know there's chatter on Twitter about our wearable World Cup flags, but it's simply a flag with a hood - nothing more, nothing less,” she said in a statement.

 

“We want customers to get behind the team without getting wet.”

Go Peru!

Which probably means that England wins 6 - 0...

Don't call it a hood, call it a hoodie.

Then all the wigga's will want to wear it.

Those sports fans  and that grocery store are rayciss. I'll bet every one of them has a poster of Sterling on their wall.  As punishment they should all be forced to sell all their belongings at a 15900% mark up from what they paid.  That'll learn 'em.

No it´s sun and lager. They all look like that. The French even call them" les rosbif"...the roast beefs in translation for you anglosaxon folks (thereby implying that you are hopeless at speaking anything else than english). They do need their sun protection

Anyway - what you are looking at is a manifestation of a certain socioeconomic segments expression of their culture. You may not understand or like it but in this great experiment of value relativism that is modern society today you must ask yourselves - are they not entitled to it? What if it was a homie with cornrows and bling and clothing gangsta style - how far would you get with poking fun at them...? What´s the difference? And I doubt they have very little understanding of KKK. That is an american phenomenon.

Anyway these jobs are normally quite easy to get along with as long as you behave in a fair way with them (fair is a word with a lot of meaning in the english culture). And yes they have been known to instigate violence and fights at games but the police have cleaned that up and weeded out the worst by sticking them in the slammer.

Let´s try to appreciate the good sides of different cultures.

" les rosbif" is (mostly was)  a term used by the French for the English because they were renowned for eating roast beef.

Your whole post has the barely suppressed patronising anti White flavour that seeps out of anything written by J H Kunstler - I wonder why that would be?

Not suprising, since it's the only edible thing outside of fish and chips, in that whole god-forsaken island.

Hmmm...guess the same applies to America.

Except Chinese food.

I'm tired of peak white guilt.  'Capirotes' have been commonly worn during Catholic processions in Europe for centuries.  I don't think the KKK was smart enough to even know who they were copying.

Those processions where random witches and possessed were given the spikey or fiery treatment? Oh, I'm sure KKK knew exactly who they were copying and they did really well with it.

They are still used to this day during Catholic Easter observance asshole.  The KKK was anti-Catholic.  But don't let your prejudice get in the way of learning something.  BTW, the Witch hunts happened during the Reformation.

When was the last time that the English team delivered?  Was that before bonny Prince Charles aimed for the stars and wanted to be a tampon? Unhappily, the English team seems to have aimed even lower. And finished lower.

Asda=Walmart?

Anyhow, who gives a fuck?  Have you fuckers seen the fucking prancing fucking plebs who get paid up to £300,000 grand a week to kick a pig skin about?

Wayne Rooney who plays for your 'Glaziers' owned 'Man U' gets paid that wedge.  If you stupid cunts didnt back him, the lovable Liverpudlian would be owt stealing cars and selling their rims.

Fucking for the love of Dog, think about it, 300 grand a week for kciking a ball about, and cunt isnt good enough to do just that?

Fuck the KKK?  Think of the abuse of money, backed by nothing, printed from thin air, with interst added that they dont print, and then think of this thug doing what he cant do for the same, Bejesus, hes on par with the fucking banksters.

Mind, boggling, again.

Apparently there is also a bonus package which next to the cape also contains a cross and lighter fluid. You know, it might cool off when it rains so you can stay warm.

Almost nobody knows this, but the swastika was used (and is still used) as a good luck charm in Asia 1,000 years before Hitler laid eyes on it.

You can find statues of Buddhas with a swastika on the forehead. It will freak you out first time you see it.

Eh. It's a bit older than 1000 years and has been widely used in Europe and Asia. Hitler didn't just suddenly come up with it. The history behind the symbol and the reasons for choosing it as a symbol of the party is quite interesting.

The swastika is a rune that was used by the ancient Ayran tribes - who conquered India. To any European with any racial memory, the swastika is a powerful symbol of our people and the endless cycle of life, death and rebirth. Worth mentioning while we are on the subject of little known facts, The Lord Buddha was from the ruling Ayran aristocracy.
