- llamaimperative 2y agoYour claim was some mishmash of "only kids do it" and "no one does it in the real world" and "only trolls do it" So I'm not sure what you think you're correcting here.
- DontchaKnowit 2y agoMy claim was it is not a symbol of white power. And the article you linked provided 0 evidence to support the claim that it is associated with white power. It did associate it with the 3 percenters, who do not seem to be a white supremecist group. Instead you seem to be claiming that right-wingers use the symbol, ergo it is racist or white power affiliated. That claim is false. Just because someone is a republican, doesnt make them a racist.
- llamaimperative 2y agoWait but I thought the whole joke of making that hand sign was to trick people into thinking you're a racist? Doesn't the entire premise of the "joke" rest on the assumption that people do in fact associate that hand sign with racists?
