NASHVILLE HAT SHOP SELLING 'NOT VACCINATED' PATCHES ... Mocking Star of David
A Nashville hat shop reeks of anti-Semitism after making light of Star of David patches Jewish people were forced to wear during WWII ... by giving it an anti-vaxx twist.
The place is called hatWRKS ... and they posted a since-deleted Instagram photo featuring a woman proudly rocking a yellow patch -- made in the same style as what Nazis used to brand Jews with in the midst of the Holocaust -- with lettering reading, "Not Vaccinated."
There's a cold-blooded caption attached too, which says ... "patches are here!!! they turned out great. $5ea. strong adhesive back .... we'll be offering trucker caps soon."
Of course, the post caused an uproar online and elsewhere -- and rightly so. People note that comparing what happened to Jewish people to what anti-vaxxers perceive is happening to them right now is absolutely ludicrous, asinine ... and downright wrong. They're not the same -- not even close, and trivializing that history with a patch like this is beyond offensive.
So, what do the owners of this mom-and-pop shop have to say for themselves??? Apparently nothing so far -- it doesn't seem they've responded to the mounting criticism, other than removing the grotesque photo.
It also looks like people have been doxxing the workers there -- including this woman -- and have been posting their info online ... with many blowing up their emails, phone lines and social handles with hate mail. All we can say is ... y'all opened this can of worms. ♂️

You can see from the photo of her storefront (wow, almost typed "stormfront") whom she was proud to support, which is no surprise to me. This article is proof that there has been insufficient education concerning The Holocaust - some people need to be given a TASTE of it. When I first saw the news of what that ignorant bitch did, I felt that there are many who should be forced to EXPERIENCE The Holocaust, an experience ending just before the shower nozzles are changed from water to cycloneB, just before the oven they are shoved into is turned on, just before being buried alive in the trench they are made to dig, just before being worked to death, just before they die of disease (as Anne Frank did), just before a Dr. Mengele pierces their skin, or just before being shot, which might have been the most humane way the Nazis killed Jews.
I guess the idiot doesn't realize even her idol got vaccinated...
she was getting multiple injections in her crossfit gym even before she got vaccinated.
Holy Geez, what a bunch of drama queens.
Some people just want to be angry and will generate any absurd fantasy to make it happen.
Sure, it's always OK to compare 6 million dead Jews to people who don't want to get vaccinated with zero repercussions.
I think it is widely accepted that the Holocaust was one of the most horrible and inhuman series of actions and events in the history of our planet, if not THE worst. No one should make light of it. And its not like it is difficult to avoid making light of it.
Instead of calling people drama queens why not agree with the accepted viewpoint for once?
[deleted]
Definitely one of the worst.
Although throughout history there have been been some really horrific actions of a large scale. Vlad the Impaler, anyone?
(In fact, currently there are some things going on in Syria now...many people are unaware of the scale of what's going on. And what happened under Saddam to his own people...and the unbelievable cruelty of ISIS (many Americans are not fully aware of the degree of their cruelty)... or under the elder Assad. And the ongoing massacres of the Rohingya in Myanmar (and although its not politically correct to mention it as The Jews aren't behind it-- -- this is a large Muslim group that's probably the most persecuted of any Muslim group in the world).And what's actually going on in the War in Yemen.
And Kavika has mentioned just a few of the horrendous things the U.S. has done to American Indians... (much of whichmost Americans-- including myself-- are still not fully aware of).
Of course the numbers are far less than the Holocaust. And perhaps in some ways the deliberate cruelty is slightly less...but most people here would be shocked to know what's going on there.
When I was a Freshman in college we used to sit around, drink beer, and wax philosophical. Often, (after the obligatory discussion about what would've happened if the South won "The War Between the States" AKA what's known in the North as "The Civil War-- we would argue over whether the Holocaust was worse than Slavery-- or vice-versa. After a while I realized that arguing which of two atrocities was worse was a stupid waste of time)
Coincidentally, I came across this article a day or two ago-- but didn't get around to seeding because I was so busy with "Non NT Related" work. Anyway, whikle we're on the topic of racism and atrocities committed against various groups...this one is relevant and quite informative. Just seed it-- lots of info here that most Americans aren't aware of-- check it out:
Mass Grave Of 215 Children In Canada A Stark Reminder Of The Dark History Of Native American Boarding Schools In US
For the dull-witted in the room, I am calling the lady with the yellow star - and people like her - the drama queens. I was not referring to any NT members. My comment starts its own conversation and therefore is a reply to the seed, not the comments of any members.
Pro tip for life: If you’re not named in an insult, maybe don’t assume someone is talking about you. Try asking.
Pro tip for life? Store them in a dumpster, chances are you will screw up anyway ... just ask my X.
Oh sure. It’s ok to ignorantly accuse me of things I’m not doing, and to make me into the topic of discussion, but it’s not ok for me to criticize it. That makes total sense.
I mean this generally, and NOT aimed at you specifically but am posting it in a reply to you because of your complaint. I believe that members would have a lot less to complain about the moderation on this site if they were to be a little more careful in how they word and/or direct their comments.
I think once people start trying to claim that I am making light of the Holocaust, I am not the one who should have to be careful. My initial comment was to be critical of the person in the seed, which I suppose I could have phrased more clearly, but too many people come into these discussions and want to assume the worst in other people.
Maybe not TOO many, but what you say can apply to anyone
Well all people here are equal...but some people are more equal than others...
Thank you George.
I'm sorry I completely misunderstood your meaning in your first comment. I thought it a little strange for you to side with an anti-semite.
I am having a difficult time understanding the thought process of the irresponsible minority who proudly refuse to be vaccinated.
Keep in mind you cannot think about it logically. I imagine in their minds they think they are standing up for freedom or something and of course “owning the libs”, which is the top priority. These are people who will cut off their nose to spite their face.
They're not thinking to begin with. They neither think or care.
I had Covid 19 in mid December 2020. My blood was tested in mid April 2021 and was positive for Covid 19 anti-bodies. I will be donating blood again in July and my donation will again be tested for anti-bodies. I usually donate to the Red Cross but now have the option of donating at the University of Irvine, Ca. They will also test the donations for anti-bodies. I may go there just to get a wider result. Based on those results I will determine whether or not to get the vaccine.
I'm neither irresponsible or proudly refusing the vaccine. I'm simply not going to get a vaccine for something that my body already has anti-bodies.
You should know I was not talking about those who have developed an immunity to COVID-19 by virtue of healing themselves of the virus.
I was referring to those who have no immunity and refuse to be vaccinated.
Irresponsible = willingly staying in a state where one can contract the virus and infect others.
Contracted Covid in April 2020 and have been suffering long hauler symptoms since.
Had my first vaccination injection last week in hopes of symptom reduction.
Fauci says it works so I'm hoping to finally shake this shit.
Hope you fell better soon
I hope it works for you.
Wishing you a fast complete recovery.
I guess I am an "early adopter"-- I had it in late February 2020!
I also wanted to resist getting the vaccine as I believed I had developed immunity and also know some extremely powerful alternative medicine techniques...both from alternative western medicine as well as TCM ("Traditional Chineswe Medicine").
But a friend of mine is getting married soon, and proof of vaccination is required to attend.
I am having a difficult time understanding the thought process of the irresponsible minority who proudly refuse to be vaccinated.
Hmmmm...I had been wondering-- why do most of them they ?
IMO, it was due to two influences-- more recently Marjorie Taylor Greene and her ilk. (And BTW she has a YUGE following...and rakes in lots and lots of cash every time she speaks.. (Many of her sycophants believe every word she says).
And also one of her very worst Ilks . . . the irrepressible Matt Gaetz.
But lets not forget our hollowed and many veneered ex-President Trump. (BTW some of these clips mention they are from March-- that refers not to this past March but rather March a year ago when the scale of the Pandumbic was first known.
How many of these statements do people here remember?:

I could only get through 60 seconds of that bs. Any more and I would have thrown up.
I couldn't open it, but I don't think I need more than my imagination and memory.
If you want to try googling it for other sources, try googling "Daily Show Heroes Pandumbic"-- you may or may not find it on a site you can view. I highly recommend it...
Got it - glad to have my memory refreshed with what all those ignoramuses had to say.

(Posted mainly as "Search Engine Candy"
I also would have a hard time understanding why anyone would refuse to get vaccinated, especially since it is free & fairly easy now. There is one thing to consider - those who have already had the virus and are now immune.
How many are there?
Should they be getting vaccinated?
We have been discussing that @4.5 thread.
Even though the whole thread was off the original topic it was in the neighbourhood of it having to do with vaccines, was civil and informative, so no reason to not allow it to stand.
Seems that they have a firm grip on ignorance.
This goes beyond ignorance to downright insensitive and stupid!
hey, let go of me...
LOL.
Look at her face. I just can't get over how PROUD she looks.
hopefully her willful ignorance causes her to lose everything.
I doubt that even losing her suppliers will cause her to lose everything, because there are more than enough fellow ignoramuses who will most likely support her, even if all she sells are red MAGA hats.
I has considered buying one-- just as a spoof, a conversation starter. But I realized that the money would to some trump organization, so I didn't. (And wearibng in public might possible put me inphysical danger).
So I settled on buying a TShirt that simply said:
GAMESTOP
That is not the sort of image one 'makes' up blindly. This was done deliberately.
I went to Nashville once, and hated everything about it. Here’s what a stroll through downtown Nashville is in a nutshell:
boot store ... tourist tchotchkes ... honkey tonk
Rinse and repeat for the next 20 blocks in any direction. If this white trash tchotchke dealer hadn’t been immediately publicly shamed, you’d soon be finding these things in five places on every block.
Oh I don't know, I had a stopover at Nashville International in the early 2000s and found the airport to be eminently seedy and I could smoke at the bar. All the connecting passengers appeared to be the 'right' size which caused me to upclass my ticket to business for the rest of an eminently tipsy trip to SF.
My best friend went there once - got bit up viciously by mosquitoes and got phlebitis - don't think he wants to go back. Ever.
You didn't make a pilgrimage to Graceland?
Graceland is a good 4-5 hours from Nashville. Graceland is in Memphis. If you come to Little Rock, I will take you to Graceland, it's only 2 hours. Maybe more since the I-40 bridge shut down
My daughter and I went to Graceland - stayed a week in Memphis - it was great. Wish I had more time for Beale street though.
I have to admit ignorance on this specific situation. I've taken I-40 numerous times when stateside. What happened to shut the bridge down? I remember passing St. Judes Childrens Hospital on that road, right before the bridge quite often.
I hear Beale Street is a great place to visit. I just want bar-b-q, everybody else can have the live music
It has a major crack in one of the supports. They shut the bridge down that crosses the Mississippi River from Arkansas (West Memphis) to Tennessee (Memphis)
It was awesome, just not enough time there. We did enjoy a bar parade - they were giving out free shots as they marched past. It was great.
Did I mention alcohol? I'll listen to live music if free alcohol is involved
I was amazed how much alcohol they gave out - the BBQ was also very good. That is the place that got me off of drinking wine and BACK to drinking Jack. It was cheap there.
Thanks for the info. I imagined that a barge had run into it and caused a truly serious problem, not that a crack isn't major, but if not major structural damage has been done, it should be repairable.
Personally, I always had concerns about that bridge and thought it should have been replaced long ago.
I guess when we return stateside we'll need to use I-30 or I-20 for our east-west travel.
Thanks again.
This crack was missed by the last inspector. That inspector has since been fired. Not sure how it happened, but that crack has been there for at least a year.
Good luck with using I-30. It starts in Little Rock....
Is Memphis still a little 'slice of Heaven' (ahhh, memories.) Is this lady still in denial about her actions and offense?
I "heart" the live music, specifically! This Nashville Shop should be ran out of business. Maybe, that is why she did it? To draw attention?!
This lady with her fake star needs to stand down. Has she already? Anybody know the update?
LOL. Thanks for the invite, however it's not likely I will ever leave China again, and to all posting in this thread a crack in a bridge is really not the topic here. Good thing i'm not deleting off topic comments, or this discussion would thin out considerably, but I'm happy with it so no problem.
I see where Stetson Hats dropped them.
Way to go Stetson! The drug store cowboys of Nashville love Stetson hats. Hopefully that ignorant bitch will go out of business now that her customer base is gone.
Not likely, Paula, judging from how many voted for Trump, there are more than enough morons to keep her in husiness if all she sold were red MAGA hats.
I am waiting for Trump to sue her for using his image for advertising but getting no money for its use.
Au contraire, madame. I think he would give her a medal.
They can't afford to shop there as they sent most of their money to Don the con.
Other suppliers as well, I believe.
did everyone notice the large Trump 2020 banner on her storefront ?
She has now associated support of Trump with anti-semitism.
Good job lady !
He was associated with that long before she came around.
Wouldn't that mean he has a love-hate relationship with his daughter Ivanka and his grandchildren?,
According to reports, his father had that same relationship with him. As long as Ivanka remains grabable to him, he will overlook it.
What she is doing seems to be twisting metaphors. . . . She is advertising her 'joint' as the place to "go viral" against being shot down by society-at-large. (She wants ex-pans-ion! And, she has a narrowly focused crowd (local and on the world wide web) she has real expectation will show up!)
If you SAY it: "They will come."
Yes! Anti-vaxxers across the planet and Trumpsters are seeing her 'light' in the window now!

It was the second day in a row that Franklin, 37, and other volunteers had come to the Fairfax District to offer protection to a community on edge.
Some stood on the sidewalk offering to walk people to and from synagogue, asking if they felt safe, and just wishing them a happy sabbath. Others were more incognito, sitting in parked cars.
“Last night, seeing you guys walk people home, it was surreal,” said one man who stopped to thank Franklin. “We’re proud to have you.”
Franklin said he felt called to offer his support after multiple recent antisemitic attacks , including a violent attack on diners at a West Hollywood area sushi restaurant.
For a couple of decades, Minneapolis was known as the most anti-Semitic city in the US.
Also the most anti-Native America.
That's interesting-- I did not know that.
Why do you think that is?
We, you and I are different Krish simple as that.
Isn't that an area where Ilhan Omar was elected?
Yes it is, but the racism was decades before she was elected Buzz. Racism started back in the 1930s and was very strong until the 1960s it was an all-white city at that time. It never really went away just not as obvious as it was in the past.
Minneapolis is also where the American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded in 1968 due to police brutality and racism against NA's.
I didn't know that about the American Indian Movement. Thanks a million. It makes me smarter to learn from another about the plight of our nation's people.
Over this long memorial weekend and early on, there has been heavy rotation of a promo about so named, "Black Wall Street" (1921) and the mob which waged limited 'war' on well-to-do Black Americans in Tulsa, Oklahoma. What's striking, is it was well-hidden from the nation and history books. But, some locals survived it and have kept the accounts alive until such a time as this.
Well, on you Kavika for sharing with us the good knowledge you have about your people and a great many others. . . .
The anniversary of the Tulsa massacre in coming up. Expect violence from WS's, Trumpturds, and outside agitators to happen if secure measures are not taken.
. I would've assumed that racism of any sort would be worse in parts of the deep South. Intolerance in general.
But IIRC you mentioned that you had actually lived in Minnesota? (I've never been there-- or even in surrounding states-- so I don't know much about it.).
Most people think of the deep South as being only anti-Black. But in many places there's still there is a lot of intolerance towards any non-White, non-Christian group. In fact, when I lived there, I was surprised at even the racist intolerance in some towards some "Lily White" Christians! (....Catholics).
Also prejudice against Asians who they referred to as "Yellow N*ggers".
I had a college roomate (White guy) whose family lived in rural N.Carolina for generations., Southern Methodist. And while his prejudice against them wasn't all that deep, on several occasions he explained to me why, basically, (White) Southern Baptists were inferior to (White) Southern Methodists! (Not just slightly different religious views, but also that the Baptists were lazy, liars, untrust-worthy, etc,,, but that Methodists were fine upstanding citizens!)
(I had started arguing that IMO the difference between the two groups wasn't all that great-- but finally gave up!)
What a horror!
And, not surprisingly...I had never learned about that in school. And never in a history course I took in college either. (Although it was in N. Carolina)
If you think Tulsa was bad, check out what happened in Rosewood FL.
Gotta hate someone, because it's a unifying and belonging tool. That doesn't just apply to individuals, but between religions, and even WITHIN religions, and it even becomes a national cause in order to unify a country, such as creating the hatred of China, so well applied by the Trump administration and unfortunately continued by the Biden one. HATE THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME CULTURE AND BELIEFS THAT WE DO!!!!!!
"I had never learned about that in school".
Of COURSE not - it's necessary to HIDE our ugly history, so it will be repeated, and so we will apprear to be the perfect example that we are trying to force all other cultures in the world to emulate. (partly an interpretation of what Santayana had to say).
In more ways than people here know!
I'm generally pretty secretive re: personal info online. But I have finally decided that I can tell people this: I am probably the only person on NT to have a real Nazi in their family! No, not some pimply faced kid from the Mid-West who locks himself in his room and masturbates to his collection of Nazi memorabilia... but a "real" Nazi.
My uncles' oldest brother was from a prominent and very rigid authoritarian family in Germany. During WWII he was actually an officer in the German Army under Hitler.(a minor officer, but still...)
He was the oldest. My Uncle was different-- the youngest, he was a rebel. Also a young film-maker. He made anti-Nazi propaganda films. Fled Germany to The Netherlands where he was in The Dutch Underground, but was caught after the German invasion of Holland. (They suspected he was in the Underground but had no proof. And since he wasn't Jewish and was from a prominent and very respected Catholic family-- they couldn't put him in a concentration camp, torture him, etc.So they put him in a maximum security prison in Berlin.
Later he liberated by the Allies, & (unlike another Uncle of mine who was an illegal "Wetback"...but that another story...) he then immigrated with his wife legally to the U.S.
My family at the time was very poor, & lived in a small 2 bedroom house with an unfinished attic-- my father was a skilled craftsman and finished it as a small but wonderful apt where they lived for quite a while. I learned much...
I don't claim to be an expert on the Nazis...but as a result of finally getting to know my Aunt and Uncle from Europe, I probably know a bit more about the Nazis...and the Underground... than most people...(Not boasting...its just a fact). So yes, I am different...
Just watched the 2 hour presentation on CNN, "Dreamland, The Burning Of Black Wall Street" what an informative presentation. Airs again on Saturday, June 5, 2021.
Now what is this in Rosewood, FL. (I am woke by Tulsa's past; "hit me" with Rosewood too! At least, point me in the right direction!)
Rosewood FL was an African-American community that prospered there in the early 20th century. A white mob destroyed it in 1923 because a white woman claimed she was beaten by a black man when in reality he was white and bedding her while her husband was at work. There is a great movie about it called Rosewood. But note, a main character (Mr. Man) was introduced but he never existed.
I heard and saw the promos for the movie (absent-mindedly) some time back. I did not watch it. Now I will! And thank you for making me smarter! (Smile.)
Were you attempting to deflect from the topic by changing it to another matter? Since you succeeded it's too late for me to stop it.
It's partially my fault too, Buzz. We mean well. (Smile.) There is just so much 'stupe' to bleed over into a discussion. Jarring so, even.
A friend of mine plays the sheriff.
WOW!!! What an OVERREACTION. At least CB had the COURTESY to admit he was wrong.
Maybe even TEACHING about The Holocaust isn't sufficient, since so many really need to EXPERIENCE it.
Many people may not be aware of it, but Gaza is a police state, run by a terrorist organization (Hamas). And could accurately be called a Welfare state. But the UN (Through UNWRA) helps Palestinian "Refugees"-- in Gaza amongst other places in the Middle east.
IIRC, At one time they decided to teach a course in "tolerance". Part of it was about The Holocaust.
Not surprisingly, Gaza's rulers would only allow the course if it eliminated teaching about the Holocaust. So-- they did.(People in Gaza are forbidden to learn about the Holocaust).
That's no surprise.
Do you know if they got expelled for that disgusting stunt?
I haven't followed that story closely...but I would doubt it.
Even if they didn't, their futures are in the toilet if they apply to any college or university. College recruiters now scour social media to check up on potential students. A lot of employers do that also, especially for high pay positions.
It was reported that they were made to research and write an essay about it. BFD
This was just on my local news. She is now apologizing and meant no disrespect. F you sweetheart. You are trying to back peddle because Stetson and other suppliers will no longer provide you products.
Still,. . . that's interesting? Telling? Mixed signals? Because Trump and his fervent supporters are 'taught' not to ever back down and apologize. It is seen as yielding worse results than pushing through
She probably believes that millions of people were invited to a party and wandered into ovens by mistake.
They only apologize when busted.
In any case she definitely caught hold of a 'juiced' third rail with her callous disregard for problematic/thematic history! Moreover, she is way to old to feign ignorance of this specific star and its color association.
Ovens? What ovens?
/sarc
There are Holocaust deniers that "have proof" that mass extermination never happened. Rather, the Jews (and other "inferior races" that died (who were relatively few in number, of course) died because of food shortages that occurred in Germany due to war time conditions. No Holocaust ever occurred....
(Interestingly, that what Erdogan and other Turks who deny the Armenian genocide also claim-- that all the Armenians they massacred died of food shortages, diseases that were prevalent at the time, etc.
All lies...
(Many nations were afraid of Erdogen, and alienating Turkey, so they refused to condemn that genocide. But I believe that for the first time the U.S. (under Biden) recently admitted it. Now Turkey is pissed!
Yep.
Actually that's just what happened! (--> LINK )
After deleting the initial post, the store, which USA Today reported is run by hatmaker Gigi Gaskins, followed up with two additional posts railing against "tyranny."
"People are so outraged by my post? But are you outraged with the tyranny the world is experiencing?" an image shared on Instagram read.
(A typical MAGA "whaddaboutism".)-- no apology.
But then:
On Saturday, hours after Stetson's announcement, the store shared a third post apologizing for "any insensitivity."
"In NO WAY did I intend to trivialize the Star of David or disrespect what happened to millions of people," the post said. "My hope was to share my genuine concern and fear, and to do all that I can to make sure that nothing like that ever happens again."
"In NO WAY did I intend to trivialize the Star of David or disrespect what happened to millions of people,"
Liar liar shit filled pants on fire. She took her cue from horse faced Greene.
Doesn't look like pizza to me..
Oh, THAT'S what they were for...
Yeah, her wallet got hurt, not her heart, so she sort of apologized.
Well, there are some upsides to Capitalism after all
