They can only pull support from sites they know about. If you'd provide the sites where the Black Supremacist apparel is being sold, maybe they will.
Got a tip for us?

LOL, okay. There is no rise in any of those things, but keep believing what you want to believe. Good for Apple, they can do whatever they want.

Exactly. Anitfa is the only group at fault here. They have caused so much property destruction over the last year that it blows my mind. They were also "hired" to pretend to be "nazis" at this last event. It's a sick joke. Just consider their name: ANTI First Amendment.
Shutting down free speech seems like such a ... Nazi thing to do...
Ok. Mashing Nazis and People not wanting to bake a cake is a huge stretch. Nothing can compare to Nazis/white supremacy/KKK.
Ever.
Just In case this train of though ever comes across your mind in the future.
i think we just created a new war here. Anti-Commenters vs Comment-supremacists
Why ?
As repugnant as I find the alt/extreme right I disagree.
In the USA there is also a law suit going on where by a Baking firm refused to make a wedding cake for a Gay couple because it went against their religious beliefs.
They're a private business, surely they can do what they like too ?, surely they can choose who they will do business with ?, if you don't like it you can always go elsewhere.
See, if you advocate for discrimination against one group, you are advocating for discrimination against all groups, be they LGBT, Muslim, Baptist, Nazi, Communist, Republican, Democrat, Jewish, Women or any other group you care to define.
Who gets to decide whom you can discriminate against, the majority ?, if so are you now just advocating the white supremacist view point ?
This is a dangerous start down a path that will only bring grief.
And I am sure "Tim" would feel offended if he was discriminated against because he is gay.
Free speech does not mean you are free from the consequences of said speech.
BLM is a hate group? Who are they bigoted towards?
Is this the point where you tell all the SHEEPLE to wake up?
If intolerance is a criteria for being revoked I could see 90% of the internet disappearing...
That's what you want to quote? Lol. Im not going to explain to you how prioritizing the rights of 1 race over any other is just as racist as a tshirt that says white pride or whatever.
You're trying to start an argument over me posing a question, that you didn't answer, rather deflected.
Maybe you can tell me how BLM is good for moving past racial barriers for blacks, whites, or any other race.
Yikesss. Didn't know so many people support hate groups.
The question is why would Apple agree to have done this in the first place?
No, the principle is exactly the same, discrimination.
There is no "stretch". Either discrimination is OK or its not. Its like pregnancy, you either are or you are not.
There is no "good" or "bad" discrimination, its just wrong, and unfortunately that means there are some people who are repugnant (extreme right in this case) are entitled not to be discriminated against.
What is a white supremacist? What is a Nazi sempathizer? Just want some definitions. I hear these words being thrown around but might not be up to speed. If I did not mind the statue staying in place, what does that make me?
It would be a miracle.
Which would then have to be attributed to an intervening deity.
Then there'd be arguments about which deity[1].
And then we'd be right back where we started.
[1] Except among atheists and agnostics, where it would be attributed to chance, a position that would be no less disputed, so again back where we started.
So the actual problem is that you don't understand what BLM is...
I'll just let a few quotes from their leaders answer that for you:
"Whiteness is not humxness, in fact, white skin is sub-humxn"
"White ppl are recessive genetic defects."
Yeah, it's BLACK LIVES MATTER. All I'm saying is no ****, stop with the division.
Would a WHITE LIVES MATTER movement, if it existed, be a racist hate group? All they would have to do is exist and it would be viewed as a hate group by the media.
