Man Wearing âF*ck Trumpâ T
Andy Ternay
On February 11   Andy Ternay  wore a shirt that read âFUCK TRUMP AND FUCK YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIMâ on the front and âFUCK THE RACIST ALT-RIGHTâ on the back while out dining with his partner. In a Facebook post   Ternay  detailed his experience wearing the shirt at the First Watch cafÃ© in Richardson  Texas  which concluded with the restaurant manager asking him to leaveâand an police officer arriving to the scene.
âWe ask to tip our server for occupying her table  get drinks to go and leave. One table of white people applauds â he continued. While in the parking lot  a black server approached him and explained he quit on the spot after seeing the restaurant ask  Ternay  to leave.
 Ternay  told The Daily Beast that the only direct comments  he  received were positive and from people of color. â[A] Latino lady at the register thanked me [and] two African American servers said my shirt was awesome.â
 He  said  he  wore the shirt because  he  wants  his  friends  neighbors  and family members to know where  he  stands.
âI donât want people of color  Muslims  LGBTQ [people]  immigrants to feel alone â  he  said. âThe proper use of white male privilege is to help lift others. To speak truth to power.â
 He  says  he âs worn the shirt before and the only negative responses people gave were eyerolls. After the First Watch incident   Ternay  claimed in  his  post  a police officer met him in the parking lot.
 Ternay  made clear  he  did not want to condemn the restaurant nor did  he  plan to boycottââThese things are never easy for businesses  and the workers were polite and professional â  he  wroteâbut says  he âs gotten vitriolic messages sent to  him  on social media since  his  post went viralâ42K shares and counting. The responses are ironic  considering the expletive-filled shirts and sentiment expressed by the pro-Trump camp. But itâs the black folks and other people of color that have reached out to  him  that worries  him  most.
âI have gotten heartbreaking messages from African Americans saying they have lost faith in their white neighborsâthey are no longer confident their neighbors have their back â  he  told The Daily Beast. âMy shirt was a reassurance they are not alone.â
