That plenty of people who hated gooks, "helped" the gooks in vietnam? That plenty of people who hated ragheads, "helped" the ragheads in Iraq.
I "helped" a few people in my time too, lol.
Who's ignoring anything, it just doesn;t mean what you seem to think it means. It;s just more wrapping yourself in a flag, like that was going to get you out of a jam.....and particularly shitty this time, in that you're wrapping yourself in other peoples flags. Whether I "cry racist" or not is irrelevant, your brother is the one with a fetish for white supremacist yard art, it was your call to offer that information up, and you're the one who chose to offer up all the rationalizations in this thread. Own, your own, shit.
I can back up this statement. When I was in the military, I worked with a former KKK member almost every day. He wasn't open about it at the time, but only because the military kept him in check about it.
