Do you think this kid was using the white power sign?


A Former White House Intern is under fire after he flashed the WHITE POWER SIGN during a photo op with PRESIDUNTZ TRUMP!!

Jack Breuer, the Emory University graduate from Atlanta was clearly bucking orders by the president to give the "thumbs up" picture taken back in November as hunreds of other interns did and smiled on command..but the Dentist's son who grew up in Chicago western suburbs with a stone faced giving the "OK" sign that is linked with far right groups!!

It's the same sign white nationalist, Richard Spencer gave at Trump International Hotel on election night an Milo Yiannopoulous in front of the White House

It was also a sign used at the Unite The Right Rally in Charlottesville where a nazi sympathizer ran his car into anti-protesters and killed 32 y/o Heather Heyer.

The gesture only makes sense with the right hand is said to depict the letter "W" with the outstretched middle, ring and little fingers and a P with a circle made by the thumb and forfinger, stretching down to the wrist which together stands for White Power

Dailymail attempted to reach out to Jack for comment but he refused to comment.

It wasn't until interns in that picture were mailed these and then spotted his gesture and informed the media. One intern said "Context is everything. Jack is pictured with President Trump, one of the most controversial leaders in we've had. It is a distinct symbol known in the alt-right circles and what makes it worse is that he is doing it in the East room just below a portrait of George Washington. When President Trump arrived, he spoke for awhile about how beautiful we all are and even mentioned sme of the interns fired. he joked for a bit and asked us to do his signature thumbs up pose then went on his way"

Jack worked for Stephen Miller, the president's senior advisor for policy as Miller himself was attacked for his racist views where he attacked Spansh speakers, LGBT community and nataive americans.

The OK sign has gained popularity for the alt-right as Pepe the frog is used to make the sign.

A 4chan user said "Leftists have dug so deep down into their lunacy. We must for them to dig m ore, until the rest of society aint going anywhere near their s***."

Do you think this kid was using the White Power Sign? let's see what people think

The OK sign isn't a white power sign. That was a 4chan hoax a few media buffoons fell for. Now they're using it to troll.

21 seconds, George Lindell hands, while shouting "jew-s-a"

Fact is, they do mix their white supremacist symbols with cartoons on purpose to hide behind them. Like terrorists hiding in hospitals. (don't fire! or you might hit someone innocent. And that would be your fault and get you bad press) (just look at the dailystormer and how they will often mix cartoons into their title)

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/23/alt-right-online-humor-as-a-weapon-facism

Until recently, it would have been hard to imagine the combination of street violence meeting internet memes. But experts say that the alt-right have stormed mainstream consciousness by weaponizing irony, and by using humour and ambiguity as tactics to wrong-foot their opponents.

Last week, the Data & Society Institute released a report on the online disinformation and manipulation that is increasingly shaping US politics. The report focused on the way in which far-right actors spread white supremacist thought, Islamophobia, and misogyny through irony and knowledge of internet culture.

One the reports authors, Dr Alice Marwick, says that fascist tropes first merged with irony in the murkier corners of the internet before being adopted by the alt-right as a tool. For the new far-right movement, irony has a strategic function. It allows people to disclaim a real commitment to far-right ideas while still espousing them.

In other words, troll culture became a way for fascism to hide in plain sight.

Marwick points to another guide to the alt-right, published last on Andrew Anglins prominent Nazi site, the Daily Stormer, which credited troll culture with bringing about non-ironic Nazism masquerading as ironic Nazism:

Irony allows people to strategically distance themselves from the very real commitment to white supremacist values that many of these forums have.


A lot of the people propagating the Pizzagate conspiracy were doing it winkingly. But in the moment that somebody walked into that shop with a gun, then that playful buzzing participation around that conspiracy turned into real consequences, Milner says.

More generally, every ironic repetition of far-right ideals contributes to a climate in which racism, misogyny, or Islamophobia is normalised.

Every time you see a viral video of somebody shouting down a person of Muslim descent in a supermarket line, what youre seeing are the effects of an environment where its increasingly normal, increasingly accepted and expected to speak in this register, whether or not that started out as a joke, Milner says.

The best response is to stubbornly take the alt-right at their word. Angela Nagles book about the alt-right, Kill All Normies, will be released next month. She says that for the alt-right, online irony is a mechanism for undermining the confidence of their critics.

The thing that people have to realize is that it isnt that complicated. We know what they believe in, and if you say that youre alt-right, presumably you believe in those things too.

Breaks it down.

It's hard to tell in the end with people who use that symbol, and that's by design. Are people who use symbols from 4chan's politics (a cess pit of "kill the liberals and black people" ? literally threads there daily with hundreds of replies on their desires to kill liberals, and non-whites in the US and Europe) necessarily actual supremacists?

You'll never know for sure, and that's the way they want it.

Funny enough in some countries/cultures this gesture is a vulgar gesture equivalent to the middle finger.

But nowhere is it a white power symbol.

Racist trolls are racists all the same. People that claim they're trolling and shitposting are just using that as a way to let their true feelings out while downplaying it

The ok sign being racist is dumb as hell though

If it starts being used as one, yeah

Groups co-opt symbols like this all the time. I've even heard of schools that tried to ban crucifix jewelry because a local gang was using it as a symbol. Even the swastika itself is a co-opted symbol

That isn't the white power sign.

Start with the okay sign, then retract your fingers so that you are just making an o with your hand (other fingers not sticking up). You then hold that o sign close to your lips by your cheek. Open your mouth and press your tongue against your other cheek. Thrust your hand with the o shape toward your cheek repeatedly while at the same time pressing your tongue against the other cheek, making it stick out.

That is the true white power sign.

Yeah the right would never completely co-opt a symbol that means something else entirely....I mean
they only did the exact same thing with the swastika.
