Lt. Jack McCain usually keeps a pretty low profile on social media, but after an Old Navy ad featuring an interracial couple received racist backlash last week, the Navy helicopter pilot threw in his two cents — and then some. McCain, who is the son of Ariz. Sen. John McCain, tweeted photos of himself and his wife, Capt. Renee Swift McCain, an Air Force Reserve officer who is black, both in uniform and at their 2013 wedding, with a message for any haters: "Eat it." "The mere fact that this is a conversation in the year 2016 is disheartening enough, and why this type of response — like the one aimed at Old Navy — merits conversation," McCain told Navy Times Tuesday. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/05/04/john-mccains-son-jack-old-navy-interracial-family-ad-responds-social-media/83913616/ |

How insecure he is to be threatened by anonymous trolls on Twitter. |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

Yes, and I'm sure you'd say that to his face. By the way, HE wasn't attacked, Old Navy was. By racist bigots. He simply showed support for their ad against the bigots - your people. No wonder you look at it the way you do. |

He was threatened by backlash to an old navy ad that didn't address him personally so felt the need to insert himself into the conversation. He's using this to signal his moral righteousness. He's looking for a career in politics. |

I think he was just telling the racist bastages of this world to jam it where the sun don't shine. Some of them might be offended that he chose to speak up to those useless worthless pieces of male bovine fecal matter. If any of them wanted to talk to him to his face, they could find him, unlike he being able to find them hiding on anonymous message boards. Sorta looks like he cucked 'em. |

I don't think you know how the Internet or Twitter works. These platforms have given voice to ideas that make the establishment uncomfortable. Clearly, the words of these trolls threatened McCain with all his power and privilege. |

No, he was standing up against bigotry. Period. You wouldn't understand, because you see bigotry as a normal condition. It's not. |

I see nothing inappropriate in McCain's comment...I frequently tell people to "eat me"....I recall I learned that phrase during my Naval service..................

It certainly does address him. It addresses everyone that is in an interracial family and good for him for speaking out against uneducated bigots. Edited by Coast2coast, May 4 2016, 08:26 PM.

Bigotry is ignorance. Grand ignorance. Are going to make a case that hate based on skin color is the product of intelligence or an education? |

It's the result of independent thinking or strong family ties. The cultural, academic, corporate, and political establishments are against it. To consider racism, or sexism, you must be willing to question authority. |

You can't defend the bigotry taking place in this incident. It's not a matter of independence or family ties unless you are telling us that children that are taught to be bigots grow up to be bigots providing they avoid a decent education. ![]() |

You also have to keep in mind a fair number of them are more than likely trolls just trying to get a response from people. I think some don't grasp the concept of internet trolls and actually believe there are more idiots out there than there really are. Of course some of them were serious, I'm sure. lol |

Honestly I find it sickening that children are ever exposed to all the "race" crap. Could you imagine a generation who knew everyone was different and just accepted that but was never exposed to the race lie? I hope that someday it's a real thing. |

It's free speech. Some people value their heritage. This is taboo so they are reduced to angry tweets. What's amazing is how this threatens so many special snowflakes. |
