IMO equating tattoos of an organization/methodology that killed millions and preaches that one race is superior while all others are inferior and should be exterminated to a tattoo of a phrase to help uplift a race that has been downtrodden for centuries is flawed thinking.But honestly, it would be hard to understand how flawed that thinking was unless you were a minority. I'll also add that the guy is a convicted sex offender as well.
I don't think brown pride equates to white supremacy, maybe in some circles, but certainly not with Cain. Sailing has a criminal past with sex with a minor including to having clear white supremacy tats.

In spite of the fact I grew up as a minority in deep South Texas and being married to a Mexican for 17 years? You seem to assume minority status conveys some sort of special reasoning ability. The key to this is are people equal or not. Brown Pride denotes race if it's positive or not.
so, because latinos are a minority they can have pride, but white people can't? get out of here with that s**t.check out the new / wshh, the only people attacking due to race are all the little black asshole kids fighting white people because they are white.don't believe me, we can have a post off. you present your evidence and i will present mine.

You have entitlement issues that you simply aren't aware about.Personally, i've heard a few people complain about Cain's tattoo but none of them are minorities.Coincidence?
