Based on what? If you go looking for things with a specific interpretation in mind you're going to find a lot of it even in places that it wasn't meant that way. The adage about malice and incompetence comes to mind.
- FireBeyond 6y agoBased on the fact that a group of eight or so people with Confederate flags, tattoos and armed and wearing body armor went out of their way to pose, in front of a BLM protest, all making that sign. "wasn't meant that way" - you're going have to try harder than that. Saying "oh, they meant nothing inflammatory, even though they're the group (3%ers) who are most associated with the nefarious intent and are absolutely aware of it's purported meaning" is wilfully disingenuous.
