Person defending this guy wearing a KKK shirt -
Literally having a gun and wearing a KKK shirt is a threat. You are threatening every non white, non Christian, non cishet person around you.
:klux-busters: (what is the emoji name)

The shirt bears the words “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas. Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.”
We spoke with an expert on hate speech. Caitlin Carlson is a professor of communications at Seattle University and has published a book called ‘Hate Speech’.
"Good afternoon professor, sorry to bother you. I need your opinion for a story I'm doing. Is “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas. Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.” hate speech?"
Professor: 😑
If the company’s not against it, the company’s not against it.

We spoke with the manager at Family Grocer who told us repeatedly “no comment.” They did add that they do not condone their employee’s actions.
Why does it feel like they aren't going to be doing anything like firing them?
