> Tank top
>
> In the United States and Canada, any casual sleeveless shirt
can be called tank top or tank shirt, with several specific
varieties. It is named after tank suits, one-piece bathing suits
of the 1920s worn in tanks or swimming pools.[1] The upper
garment is worn commonly by both men and women. The build of a
tank top is simple: the neck and armholes are often reinforced
for durability. One usually has large armholes and neck holes
and a neckline that can reach down as far as the bottom of the
chest. (Women's tank tops have smaller holes, to conceal their
breasts). They are also sometimes made long to make tucking into
pants easier. In almost all cases, they are buttonless,
collarless, and pocketless.
>
> A sleeveless T-shirt, also called a muscle shirt, is the same
design as a T-shirt, but without sleeves. Some sleeveless
T-shirts, which possess smaller, narrower arm holes, can be worn
by both women and men, usually with sports bras underneath for
women. They are often worn during athletic activities or as
casual wear during warmer weather. They are colloquially known
as shooter shirts in the southern United States. They were quite
popular in the 1980s and were commonly associated with surfers
and bodybuilders (hence the name "muscle" shirt) and often bore
the names and logos of gyms.[citation needed] Such shirts
without logos are now more commonly worn as casual wear.
>
> The tank top designed for a tight fit and often made of ribbed
cotton is also called a wifebeater, beater, or A-shirt, or
historically a guinea tee, or dago tee ("guinea" and "dago"
being American ethnic slurs for people of Italian ethnicity).
The term wifebeater reportedly but unverifiably[2] became
synonymous for an undershirt after a 1947 criminal case[3] when
a Detroit man was arrested for beating his wife to death. News
outlets are alleged to have printed a photo of him in a stained
undershirt and referred to him as "the wife beater."[4][2]
>
> In the UK, especially when used as an undershirt, it is known
as a vest (compare the American usage of "vest").[5] It is
called a singlet in Australia and New Zealand.
>
> In addition to athletic usage, tank tops have traditionally
been used as undershirts, especially with suits and dress
shirts. They are sometimes worn alone without a dress shirt or
top shirt during very warm and/or humid weather. Tank tops are
often worn alone under very casual settings, as lounge wear,
and/or while completing yard work or other chores around the
home.

I've always found the crown jewels to be particularly ugly, ever
since I was a child:

"YES YES YES!!!!!"
He reproduced before dying, therefore his death means little. We
should only celebrate when our enemies die before reproducing.
Still, let's take this chance to review who Philip was:

Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Nigeria. It was the
Queen's first visit in 47 years. Greeted by Nigeria's
then-President, Olusegun Obasanjo, who was wearing traditional
robes, Philip quipped: "You look like you're ready for bed."

argued that his more problematic remarks should not be
dismissed.

Prince Philip's history of racism and colonialism are now saying
we should also mourn him," Frederick Joseph, an American writer
whose book about his experiences with racism was published last
year, tweeted on Friday.

news coverage of Philip's death "ridiculous," saying he belonged
to an institution "which colonized and pillaged so extensively."

> BBC’s transparent attempt at whitewashing notwithstanding,
Prince Philip’s racism is actually quite priceless because it
comes so naturally to him. He is not faking it. He is not trying
to offend anyone. He is offensive. This is he. This is who he is
– and the long panoply of his racist, sexist, elitist,
misogynistic, class-privileged and unhinged prejudices is a
mobile museum of European bigotry on display.

service by being who he is, by staging generous servings of his

posterity to read and learn.

> Our dearly beloved Duke of Edinburgh is blissfully old. He has
lived a long, rich, and fulfilling life – and may he live the
rest of his racist days with the dignity and poise that he has
denied others. His xenophobic bigotry is pure, his sense of
class entitlement undiluted, unencumbered, uncensored, liberated
from any inkling of bourgeois inhibitions. He does not mean to
be offensive. He just is. He is a walking embodiment of every
layered lava of European racism summed up inside one royal head.
>
> Today people of the privileged class have learned how to
camouflage their racism in varied codes and convoluted bourgeois
euphemism. The kind of bigotry that Prince Philip exudes and
stages is now considered rude and vulgar, old-fashioned and
outmoded, presumed classed and pointed at the lower social
strata. The precious advantage of Prince Philip is that he is a
royal from the heart of British (and European) aristocracy. He
tells it as he sees it fit.
>
> The Prince is the repository of all the colonial past and all
the class privileges of the present. His racist remarks should
not be whitewashed or camouflaged. They need to be properly,
accurately, and verbatim catalogued in the British Library and
made available to future generations of scholars and critical
thinkers, anthropologists of the racist foregrounding of
European imperialism for careful and close analysis. They are
the insignia of an entire semiology of colonial racism in
full-blown aristocratic diction. From the rampant racism now
dominant in Israel to pernicious xenophobia evident in Trump’s
America, it’s all there: rooted in these unhinged expletives in
polite, aristocratic British English.
>
> Expressions of Prince Philip’s racism are not “gaffes” as the
BBC and other British outlets embarrassed by their vulgarity
brand them – though one can see why the BBC is rushing to term
them as such and brush them quickly under the proverbial carpet.
For the world at large, however, at the receiving end of British
and European racist colonialism, these “gaffes” are in fact
priceless relics of an age now deeply camouflaged under
lovely-looking and liberal euphemisms. We as a result need to
treat them as archaeologists treat any other relic and fragment
they find. Based on such remains, they reconstruct bygone ages
and the forgotten truths they reveal and conceal at one and the
same time.
> ...
> The kind of racism Prince Philip exudes is reminiscent of the
very spirit of British and other European imperialism at its
height. This is the way the British thought when they ruled
India, the French when they ruled Algeria, the Italians when
they conquered Libya, the Belgians when they owned Congo.
>
> Prince Philip is a museum piece – a living, breathing, mobile,
jolly good fellow, smiling, handsome, charming great-grandpa who
happily walks about, utters obscenities while his entourage try
to cover up for his “indiscretions”. But these are not
“indiscretions” or “gaffes.” He means what he says and he says
what he means. He is the living memory of an entire history of
imperial hubris now being actively repressed to offer a more
liberal, tolerant, cosmopolitan character for the British and,
by extension, “the European”.
>
> Prince Philip to European aristocracy is what Donald Trump is
to American liberal democracy: an embarrassment – the men who
flaunt the ugly truth from under the thin veneer of their
bourgeois etiquette. The racist provincialism of both Prince
Philip and Donald Trump is irresistibly charming to their
admirers and embarrassing to their detractors, but identically
revelatory to the world at large. Their racism is so against the
grain of recently manufactured liberal “tolerance” that they
don’t know where to hide it.

of which liberal democracy is so proud. What does it mean to be
“tolerant?”
>
> From John Locke’s A Letter Concerning Toleration (1689) to
Voltaire’s Treatise on Tolerance (1763), two towering European
philosophers have argued against religious or political bigotry
and fanaticism. But today liberal “tolerance” amounts to a
fanatical conviction about one’s own beliefs thinly disguised
under the veneer of “tolerating”, meaning putting up with, other
people’s misguided beliefs and practices.
>
> To be tolerant today means we are convinced by the superiority
of our own beliefs but out of the generosity of our spirit and
goodness of our heart and the superiority of our civilisation we
put up with you, for we have no choice. Both the superiority of
belief and the virtue of tolerance are thus attributed to the
tolerant culture rather than denied to the barbarity thus
tolerated.
>
> Until such time that we reach a point when we do not
“tolerate” each other but in fact see the truth and the beauty
of the world from each other’s perspective, Prince Philip, bless
his splendidly racist soul, exposes the hypocrisy of liberal
“tolerance”. I love him for it. He screams out loud what other
racists like him have learned how to conceal and camouflage in
what they think and project as civilised demeanour – as they
load their fighter jets with bombs to drop on brown and black
people to send them “back to the Stone Age”.

racism, exposing the ugly hypocrisy at the very foundation of

Monarchism long predated the Windsors. On the other hand, the
Windsors are happy to be mere ceremonial "royals" with no
political duties (while still enjoying all the privileges), thus
can be considered to be deserters of the true spirit of
monarchism which is about proving oneself worthy of such
privileges via political service.
