Chris Pratt in hot water over his controversial tee shirt

They don’t show the flag in the article it is so controversial. After all it’s an American Flag with the Gadsden flag “don’t tread on me” lightly in the background.

I think he wore it around the 4th of July. The nerve.

He married Katherine Schwarzenegger, would that be the daughter of Arnold? Boy looks a lot more like the mom.

During 2016 (Obama) the EEOC ruled the Gadsden flag was workplace racial harassment.

I’m glad I’m old. No sure if I want to see how bad it’s going to be.

Kind of looks like a gun in a pocket holster in right front pocket. Nice!

The writer should be kicked in the nuts!
The coiled rattlesnake with the “Don’t Tread on Me” message is the iconography associated with the Gadsden flag, created by Continental Army Brig. Gen. Christopher Gadsden. While the flag’s original purpose wasn’t rooted in white supremacy, it has been adopted by some white supremacists and far-right groups in recent years
Yes, so have socks, shoes, take out food and 401k's- we aren't all racists because we're not liberals! Idiot.


*ETA anyone know where the shirt can be had? I like it and would buy one.

I don't think that exact shirt from the brain treatment foundation is for sale. I think it was a giveaway.

But there are tons of places to buy shirts with similar images on the chest.

I have that one! And will be looking to buy the other.

Interestingly I just googled "American Flag with Gadsden Flag" and the links came up with "Chris Pratt's white supremacist tee shirt " :banghead: So ridiculous!

If Chris Pratt believes in what is on his tee shirt, he probably doesn't care what SJW's and progressive socialists have to say about it.
