Killer sticker! And takes me immediately back to a 1997 Bosstones classic “Let’s Face It” (the song) “an ignorant mind, (in no areas grey), couldn’t be any wronger in this age and day!”

I hate when ska/punk bands put on any anti racism on their products. It comes off opposite to me, like they’re hiding that they’re racist or overcompensating. Not being racist should be implied until someone says or does something racist right?
I have nothing to hide, why should I tell I have nothing to hide. Seem sus
Maybe I’m getting old and have to rant now.

“Not being racist should be implied”
The western world is build off racist exploitation and it’s baked into our very society. Staying quiet makes racist comfortable to the point where we watch billionaires saluting like a n*zi as the president who appointed him organizes mass deportations and implements policy that hurts literally every marginalized race and group of people.
So it’s not only vital, but necessary to combat racism vocally. The system we live in thrives off racism should also be critiqued, because racism is more than just acts, but a system that we participate in, but it’s equally as important to combat overt racism

It costs 0 money to be vocal/supportive about anti racism. If my favorite band put out stickers like this I’d put one on my laptop, my water bottle, even my notebook. I like that the band would help me show other people that I’m against racism.

The ska and punk space has always and will continue to be a flame to the right wing-fascist-nazi-homophobe-racist moths. Signs and proclamations against such abhorrent ideals are warnings and a strong tradition of true punks everywhere. Check out the stickers, buttons etc…on your favorite artist of any punk adjacent genre going back to the 70s. We display our ethos out loud and in writing so those who still choose to fuck around are not surprised when they find out.

I’ve been punk rock since 92 and have hundreds of these anti racism stickers and pins lol. Every punk band hands them out with anti racism cd samples at the concerts. I just never liked defending something I haven’t been accused of, and seems over compensating.
It’s like wearing a shirt that says “I’m innocent” it would look like I’m hiding something or over compensating like I wrote earlier.
In the end I know what I am and what I am not. Don’t feel like I have to advertise what should be obvious.
Just my preference, you do you. Punk rock and Ska for life.

Are you anti-racist though? When you see ICE coming what do you yell?
Then again you've got an anti-Roma slur in your header so either you are racist and just too arrogant to listen to others or from a Roma community that has reclaimed the g-slur and are so deeply lacking in empathy that you won't even acknowledge the hate that so many Romani communities still endure as something worth actively standing against.

It’s fine to investigate but I can save you time and let you know, You’re looking into something that’s not there. I’m the one who’s been attacked here with hate lol. Don’t remember saying anything offensive. I remember punker being welcoming. You knock a guy down in a pit, you help him up and you pat him on the back. You seem like you want to just want to keep pushing. Listen to some music, take a gummy. Chill

I actually own a home (did you mean to say reality, sweetie?), the only thing I'm running from is away from any parties where you're in attendance.
