wdyt: is this dress too offensive for prom?
Re: wdyt: is this dress too offensive for prom?
She was doomed to be trash from the start. Texanna? And I love that only white people from southern states are all "it's not offensive it's HISTORY"
Ok. So stop living in the past. Save the dress for your party at Daughters of the Confederacy.
Absolutely it's too offensive. It's also ugly.
What a sad, ignorant little girl.
Soon to celebrate the day we met, even if the day before marks when we said goodbye.
It's offensive. I would have let her in anyway because I strongly disagree with government censorship but she deserves to be shunned by her peers and called a redneck.
ETA: Are those flip-flops on her feet? FFS.
Oh no, it's not offensive at all to go around wearing what is basically a symbol of racism. Nope, not at all.
Sorry, I should clarify I'm not from the US and not aware of the symbolism behind that flag so I thought I couldn't really comment on that part.
Oh, gurl. Flip flops, too.
(Yes, of course it's bad.)
I would say so.
That yellow dress is kind of offensive to me too though. Blehh.
Yes, it's incredibly offensive. What's more, she knew it would be inflammatory and decided to risk it anyway. she's an assh*le.
Updated September 2012.
That is what makes me the most pissed off
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Where in the world did she get the dress? Did she make it? Is someone actually selling that dress?
Offensive for any occasion.
Unless I'm reading Huffington Post, I rarely scroll down to read the comments because they almost inevitably make me want to weep for humanity.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you. My Blog
as a white person form the south, i just... uuugghhh.... this is a hot debate and I think its just another tool to start controversy. The Dixie Outfitter tee shirts have been popular around here for as long as I can remember, (have little rebel flags on the front, some kind of redneck picture on back) and those are banned from my local school too.
sad to say, there are still men who claim to wear white sheets around here.
Exactly!
There were at least six confederate flags throughout the incredibly short history of the confederacy.
This one, however, has been primarily used by the KKK so really.
Click me, click me!
I went to the dixie outfitter site once and I actually felt ill and gross after being there. They are sooooooooooo much worse than the handful of tees people actually see outside of that place.
Click me, click me!
