whenever you see niggers in africa and they are all wearing western clothes, you need to realize that jews are funneling your resources to cloth and feed these niggers so that they can breed like rabbits and then flood our nations.
Every time you drop off a load of clothing that you've accumulated but hardly worn you get to pat yourself on the back because somewhere a homeless person is going to get to sleep in an offbrand tracksuit you got from Walmart because it was cheap and <shrug> who doesn't need another tracksuit? Well done you.
The reality, however, is that while some of those clothes get back into the community the vast majority of them are purchased by the ton and then dumped on the third world by this do-gooder organization or that.
It means that some random African in a squalid slum will end up with your old Nike t-shirt. Can you spell cultural pride? It also means that local businesses that would have employed local people to provide clothing for the populace cannot survive, which feeds into the cycle of dependence that handouts beget.
So the next time you're thinking about making a run to Goodwill so that you can free up closet space to fit some new clothes think about sucking on a car exhaust pipe instead.
obroni wawu, or dead white people’s clothes.
Funny but probably true. I can picture clothes from 0-50 years old when cleaning out an elderly estate. We call the oldest clothes "out of fashion". The newest might get repurchased here, what doesn't sell, that nobody wants, gets sent away. In the old days they would be ground up to make under carpet padding and sound deadener materials for automobiles.
Consider exchanging clothing with your family and friends, especially when you have clothes hanging in your closet that have not been worn for more than 6 months.
6 months?! I've got clothes I haven't worn in 6 years or more. I've got a dozen ratty lined and unlined jeans with blown out knees and frayed pockets for working in the yard, painting/staining the house or on messy automotive work. And a dozen ratty shirts with blown out elbows that look fine under a sweatshirt working in the yard. I do use them up. Swapping clothes is not a "real man" thing.
Keep in mind that most donated clothing ends up in landfills, so consider seeking out reputable charities that serve the needs of your local community, such as your local church.
Are they implying the Salvation Army and Goodwill are not reputable? These are the main recipients of used clothing in the USA, they give receipts that can be used as tax deductions.
In the old days my grandmother would turn old wool clothes into wool strips for beautiful hand braided wool rugs (that are made by machine and cost a lot of money today). She also made pulled rugs, thin strips of wool pulled through a burlap backer and hand tied to form a shag rug with patterns. Cloth from worn out clothes would be cut into squares or triangles and sewn together to make colorful quilts. I still have a lot of her works, now 50-75 years old, some never used because they are so nice. The quilts and braided rugs are worth a lot today.
The highest and best use for old, unwanted clothes that can't be easily reprocessed might simply be burning them for heat.
In retrospect, there was a big cultural shift away from this kind of reuse/repurpose after WWII. The hand-me-downs were still a thing but abundance and simply throwing things out became prominent by the 1980s in our material world.
"Rag Rugs" were common when I was younger. Clothes beyond repair went nowhere other than into other household furnishings.
