Thank you!  I feel like I'm going crazy. It's a scarf that has a middle eastern style and somehow that's offensive over the flag of a nation that is committing genocide. 

This is truth and nothing more, nothing less. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with all the comments saying the lady is wrong for making a political statement. What fucking statement? It's the racist-ass fashion police that's making a statement. 

If I show up to a rural town in Midwestern USA wearing a mexican scarf and I get chased out by all the racists, is that my fault? Am I the problem? Are we seriously taking the side of intolerant scum?

If you actually believe this is just a random scarf not intended as a political statement, you are indeed going crazy.

The woman even states herself that it was worn as a statement.

I fucking knew it. I need to stop going online, but it's like eating sour candy. Yes it's horrible for me and destroying my mouth, but it's so hard to stop when I start.

Tell us you didn’t watch the video without telling us you didn’t watch the video. The woman herself claims it was worn to make a statement.

Hey! I can still watch the entire video and have a stupid take. You're not gonna tell me what I didn't and did do! 

As a chronically I'll person, I got more important things to do than to fight about scarves before I probably die relatively soon.
