That picture is atrocious enough by itself, why would they feel like they need to fill up their bingo card by pretending the dumb white power handsign is in there as well, especially when that wasn't a thing among mainstream white supremacists until a lot later?

I don't know the white power hand sign. I figured it's what the kid to the player's right side was doing

Counterpoint: The real white power sign is just being a piece of poo poo, but not being afraid at all, because you are white

It looks much more like a a metal / devils pitchfork thing, but in any case, the focus should be on the kid harassing a black player, and other kids being in loving blackface.

Also we use this exact phrasing to describe people who were killed by other people all the time, dead troops for example.

Love dunking on the she-huck but there's nothing to this one.

All good points. It was just an odd take that came to me when I read shucks tweet and I wanted to throw it out there.

If it was a younger kid it would probably be a lot easier, but given he's lived into his mid/late teens within a social structure that not only okays this kind of behavior but seems to actively encourage it, that's a tall order. Not doing anything concrete just validates it, and almost everything of consequence will feed the whole pariah/martyr mentality where he gets a Kickstarter and a fox news segment.

What do they say is the problem with Brown Moses?

I know their actual objection but I assume they'd get banned if they come out and say that all those dead kids were enemies of the True Syrian People and they'd instead figure out some bizarre angle to attack him from.

Despite claims to the contrary the president is not king and a Congress that delayed elections without a monumentally good reason would be inviting social unrest of a level not seen in centuries in the USA... I hope
