In a Tuesday interview, the president said that he disagreed with the company's “endorsement” of Kaepernick, saying that “wouldn’t have done it.” But he also noted that Nike—a tenant of his that pays “a lot of rent,” he said—was doing something emblematic of freedom in the United States. “In another way, it is what this country is all about, that you have certain freedoms to do things that other people think you shouldn’t do, but I personally am on a different side of it,” he said.

Side note: Trump basically told the Daily Caller that he hasn't done a Nike Tweet because Nike paid a lot of rent in Trump Tower.

Trump also didn't realize that Nike has long since moved out of Trump Tower :laugh:

Honestly, I don't know anything about the Handmaid's Tale other then it exists and I would have had no idea what they were protesting specifically. I still have enough brain cells left to figure out context clues though, unlike most people who still identify publicly as republicans. I'm also wildly out of touch with cultural trends though.

The tv series is legit loving good. Pushes emotions and basically portrays a weird evangelical future.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
As little as it would surprise me that a member of the current administration would display an affection for the white supremacy move on television, that whole SECRET SYMBOL drama got little more than a rolling of the eyes to me, and I used to get paid to identify Nazi symbols.

This video seems to make it even more clear that she gets a message on her phone, smirks, looks at the camera, makes that dumb ring sign and keeps looking around ominously like she knows she's being watched while hiding a smile.

https://twitter.com/ManInTheHoody/status/1037124624557830144

I mean, I understand people have racism-fatigue or something under this administration, but to shoot immediately for WHITE SUPREMACY instead of some juvenile joke seems like grasping at straws.

Honestly the hand sign is most likely someone sent her a dm over twitter saying hey the camera has you visible, you know what would trigger the gently caress out of people? do the ok sign

And predictably the internet outrage machine ate it the gently caress up.

Sitting here across the pond, does it even matter if she made a white supremacy sign or not? She works for Trump, who did all kinds of things that helped the alt-right and white supremacists a thousand times more than this woman making some hand sign ever could.

The whole idea is that the supremacists can then say LOL U DUMB LIBS IT'S LITERALLY THE OK SYMBOL when it's obviously not.

My personal problem here is that it's a gigantic rabbit hole that doesn't need to be fell into right now. There's tons of other, worse poo poo to worry about (kids in cages, Trump statements, Stephen Miller skinning and eating girls in his basement) and plenty of other crazy poo poo going on with more concrete proof behind it.

Maybe on twitter and weird internet corners, people are eating up the hand gesture and arguing about it, but among left-wing journalists, they either are saying they don't buy it as intentional or are pointing out that symbol or not, she works for an admin that enacts racist policies anyway.

E: my take is out of date and it is now in some real news this morning; nevermind, 2018 is dumb.

Yeah I completely agree with you here.

I said as much in D&D and proceed to have some broke brain accuse me of saying we should completely ignore it with a bonus snipe that people got upset with the Nazis coopting the swastika so we can get angry about this too. When I pointed out people were far more concerned about the Nazis whole planned ethnostate then they were about a far east peace symbol being coopted, he doubled down.

I think you can do both right. Economic and political stuff that isnt out right racist/classist, but has racist/classist outcomes. Red lining or Voter ID law for example. Has enough cover that the ill informed can say "naw theyre not racist/classist" The alternative is just worst. You can also point out, yo this guy is dog whistling and doin nazi memes and hasnt been thrown out. Maybe that stuff can drive votes.
