Why are these people saying "white power" while doing the sign, and then saying racial slurs? Hmmmm?

Apparently the same kid wears MAGA caps and says "build the wall" too (see pics below in that same tweet). I am not saying ALL maga caps are for that, or ALL build the wall, but this does show that they're associated too.

Maybe we can use context or something to figure out if they're being racist?

Like, for instance, if they're at a rally and the person next to them is chanting "White Power" and they flash the "OK" symbol, maybe they're being racist? And maybe, if they put the OK symbol below their waist and try to make you look at it as a joke, they're not racist? And, like, if you ask a Klansmen how he's feeling, and he gives you the OK sign, maybe he's not being racist with the gesture but is still racist beyond the meaning of the gesture?

Who is "we" and what is "this shit?"

"We" as in human beings, and "This shit" as in the weird rebranding of innocuous symbology into something it really isn't (until it's turned into it by overreacting media in some sick joke of a self-fulfilling prophecy)

People say that but then ignore context and jump straight to conclusion.

AOC does it. "Oh, it's just the okay sign"

Random white dude does it. "Racist call sign. Ain't no one falling for that ignorance bullshit!"

I mean, I'm sure it is in some scenarios, but not all. Jesus.

So the argument is some guy on gamefaqs said something once therefore the alt-right isn't acting in bad faith by """adopting""" things?

Or she trolled a bunch of dipshits on day two after they attacked her for literally nothing on day one.

You do know that the most extreme white nationalist in the current administration, the guy who came up with family separation, baby concentration camps, the guy who is trying to end family reunification and who uses LITERAL nazi insults such as "you're a cosmopolitan" happens to be Jewish? His name is Stephen Miller, and his fame speaks for him. He is far more extreme than Sessions and 45 will ever be, and he is personal friends with Richard Spencer.

He does the ok thing too, BTW.

Plus, aren't mexicans technically white? Heck, people had to investigate into this woman's ethnicity to find out she wasn't well, white.

So...has anyone figured out that these people can only corrupt our symbols if we let them? Like any other symbol it has only the meaning we collectively decide it does and allowing a few nazis change the meaning of a commonly used hand gesture is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. All this is exactly what they wanted, stop kowtowing to the whims of nazis ffs
