And we wonder why we still have racism when crap like this is happening .................................

[iHammmy]

How silly.

[Jerakl]

I don't think Amazon screens their affiliates? @LinusTech or @nicklmg could tell us more.

 

Sensationalist article is sensationalist. No surprise. 

[Prastupok]

If they say no to them, they say no to everyone in that. Consider that before you write them off.

 

Also, consider it may be "memorabilia", regardless of it's origin.

[AStateOfTrance]

They are selling Nazi flags, get over it.

 

We've all played Wolfenstein.

[Tonylu1595]

They just sell things. I don't think they would give a crap what the sell if there were't people complaining/laws.

[kpreg]

i'm not suprised one bit. 

[Guest Kloaked]

They all also indirectly fund racist rappers who talk shit about the U.S. military and fuck bitches and hoes - claim that having money is the only way of living, complain that they came from a hard life yet they don't do anything about it.

 

Yeah.

[zacRupnow]

So because people can buy Nazi flags on Amazon using Paypal and listen to rap that uses the word n*gga on Spotify, that means the companies are funding racism?

Except the "Swastika" has been aound for thousands of years as a sign of peace ._______.

[LePawel]

This is a load of bullshit, sensationalist bullshit of a teenage spotty intern that found "controversial topic".

What's next? Internet supports North Korea because all 3 of their computers have access to it ?

[Norman_the_Owl]

"I disagree with what you say, but i defend your right to say it" is basically my take on this.

 

While i myself am not a white supremacist, i can't help but feel like they're not really doing anything wrong.

They're not forming lynch mobs, they just want to help their vision...and as long as their doing it legally, there is no reason for amazon to not have them in the affiliates program

[Kermit]

These companies are companies, and any product that makes money they will keep on their site. Obviously this "funding" is supporting hate crimes, but it is okay as long as it doesn't affect anybody negatively. 

 

Edit: I hope LMG screens their affiliates better than this shit... lol

[Skrizzles]

Quit playing the race card.

 

I don't take this seriously. Not at all. The author sounds like she is grabbing at straws. She makes mention of white supremacists, but no mention of black supremacists?  Have you ever wondered why there isn't a "White Panther Party?" Because there isn't one.

 

Hate crime is not a one-sided coin.

 

This is the same person who blares Jay-Z, Kanye, 50-cent in their ride and approves of every word by doing so, but screams "RACIST" when a white person drops the N-bomb.

[Zeruel]

Whatever....

 

 

I don't see any mass murder...

[Briggsy]

Meh, just human nature. give some people an inch and they will take a mile, and they still won't be satisfied. People that want peace are usually peaceful, and people that want war are usually hostile. 

[Kamina]

People need to seriously move on from this past.

 

Let the weirdos buy Nazi flags for whatever reason. 

[Guest]

Someone move this to off-topic and re title this. 

[euniqe]

who the fuck gives a crap, it's just a symbol, to them it's just another product and it's only white supremacist if YOU choose to see it that way. 

 

like how "dem niggas" call each other that all the fucking time, yet when a white person says it they literally get shot. it's just a matter of opinion and perspective, there is no fucking racism here wtf.

[Albatross]

This doesn't mean anything.

 

People need to get over themselves.

[MrDynamicMan]

Yes. So true. Whenever someone sells KFC to a black person they are racist too. The more you know.

But seriously, this article is by and anyone who takes its seriously is stupid.

Get over this and deal with actual problems.

[GeTecknics]

i dont really see the issue here while i dont agree with their message you cant just stop someone and these companies probably dont care and were probably never even contacted IMHO by the author. Think of it this way some people(like me) dont like country music oh well no one actually cares unless its popular opinion to do so

It isn't all "weirdos", a lot of the people making flags like the Nazi flag do so for war re-enactment or for movies/documentary purposes. I find it absolutely hysterical that as soon as someone sees something like this they instantly assume its due to racism or something similar, makes you wonder who the real bigot is.

[Entropy]

I have no problem with them selling this stuff. I disagree with their beliefs, but selling something doesn't convert people to being Neo-nazis. Who knows when someone will need something like this for a play or something.
