It's a bad month for memes. Can these people not see that memes are only as evil as the person posting them?

So simple! the same principle applies to any symbol without deeply entrenched prior meaning. a butt, for instance, would look pretty hateful with some swastikas and racial slurs added.

That's why my butt has a tattoo that says "All applicants welcome" across the top with an arrow pointing to my b-hole.

They are not racist because Pepe is. Also, I mean that's a cartoon, not a person. I mean that's like textbook schizophrenia to think a cartoon frog is a real life person.

Hillary not only refusing to defend Pepe but blatantly attacking him soured me on the whole Yank elections. Makes me question the very competences of the people involved.

If we paint racist symbols all of the ADL branches throughout the world, will they be forced to label them a hate symbol?
