The mission of virtue signaling, white-guilt SJW's is to destroy any and all joy in life and make everyone else just as miserable as they are.

Amazing exponential growth of racists and white supremacists is linked directly to the fact that the democrats don't have a single political talking point and our economy is doing so well.

That said there is no question that "society" became cognizant of it as a result of the 4chan trolls.


No we didn't. Most people think it's a damn game. Oh, made you look! then punch the guy.

Is it? It seems like most every city is segregated, especially those in the North.


De facto segregation but in the early 70s they started bussing to integrate schools more. My mother told me when she was in high school when that started and there was nearly a full on race riot with a bus being flipped over. Allegedly my uncle, her older brother, was involved in flipping the bus.

While the gesture has also been used as part of the “circle game,” in which someone tries to trick a friend into looking at them making a similar hand gesture, Kenney said on 670 The Score that team officials met and decided it was more likely the gesture was used in a “racist way.”


This is a joke, right?

. Then the retards over at 4chan decided that they would troll the media by trying to say it was a white power hand gesture in 2017. Then the retards in the white power movement started to use it. So now the lines are blurry.


Your reasoning makes my vision blur and head hurt.

He's been punished more than Jussie, maybe he was just trying to start a conversation about the circle game.

They can ban anyone they want, for pretty much any reason.

Yup. It's a privately owned organization. They can do pretty much anything they want.

Well, unless the other party is gay. Or a minority.

Thankfully in this case it was just a white male. Ban away!

I think 95% of the population thinks of it as the punching game (as they should). The other 5% is the Proud Boys/Milo Yiannopoulos/Richard Spencer faction that has hijacked it.
