You didn't shut me up. You had me question why a person would do something like that. You could argue that I was somewhat speechless that such a pic even exists somewhere on the internet, but even then, my perceived speechlessness wasn't for the reasons you wanted it to be.

Another blatant lie, just like that "My friend got a tattoo of it" guy. Nothing but lies and trolling from the people

Again, I have no idea why you're completely changing what this is about. Actually, I do. Proved you wrong and now you have to turn to insulting someone and completely changing what the main thing was. Weird.

I was insulting the tattoo, and I was always going to. If you really want to prove me wrong, you'd sign the pic. Then I would have the option of insulting you instead of just what the picture portrays, if I were so inclined. What do you think was the "main thing" was anyway, and why?

This will never not be the most ridiculous controversy. It's clearly playing into the Troll-Right's recruitment practices by using public displays of absurdity to make liberals look over-reactive or extremist in order to drive young "meme culture" people further into the irreverent ideologies if the 4-Chan Conservatives.

Imagine if 4-Chan started claiming the pronounciation of "the" as "thee" was White Supremacist. A couple prominent white supremacists start doing it as a joke on YouTube and Instagram because they know it'll prompt a reaction. Suddenly these same people desperate to prove how "woke" they are will be lining up the guillotine for anyone who doesn't play by the New Rules because OBVIOUSLY the only reason ANYONE would pronounce it "thee" is because they're a White Supremacist. Oh, also, Burden of Proof is on you to prove otherwise because fuck logic and fuck ethics and fuck debate etiquette and fuck a society whose founding principals rely on a philosophy of innocent until proven guilty with the burden of proof lying on the accuser.

Don't give a tiny minority of white supremacists this kind of power over your culture.

Exactly. Letting them have the hand gesture is giving them power. There's a world of difference between realizing the Alt Right is using it, and lumping everyone who uses it into the Alt Right category. This is exactly what they want. To use an innocuous hand gesture so people freak out and start banning people who use said innocuous hand gesture, allowing the Alt Right to say "See! These people are crazy authoritarians for wanting to ban a freaking gesture!". It's part of the plan.

I don't know if TC is being genuine or not, probably not, but Neo Nazi's have been using the sign for a couple of years to show unity. To simply brush it off and say "Lol, you got trolled", is ignoring that they have indeed been using it and are doing so on purpose. Whether this guy at the Cubs game was using it in that manner or not is irrelevant to whether or not White Supremacists have been using it.

What in the world is the circle game?

I think the white supremacist neo mccarthysism is getting out of hand, but real talk : outside of like middle school, who the fuck still plays "the circle game"?

Wheres the outrage here? When this happened, everyone was laughing about it. Now this kid does it, and its racist.

He used a white power symbol behind a black newscaster.

How is that not racist?

you basically have to call folks outright racial slurs before many actually consider it racist, this gesture is ambitious enough so people can be outright racist while claiming ignorance.

Making it a racist symbol is allowing the racists to win.

A racist got banned from the stadium not a minority. How is that racist winning?
