Regardless of how it started a bunch of actual racists took it and ran with it. Now actual racists use that symbol unironically. The KKK was started by a group of hoaxers and pranksters to troll people but I don't think anyone would argue the modern KKK is just a bunch of trolls screwing around and messing with people.
- anthonygd 5y agoAre you sure it's actually been used unironically? I've wondered about that, but don't personally know anyone who's used it in any way. Are you on good enough terms with an actual white supremist who has used it unironically to confirm the intent is racist?
