It's neither. It's a game kids play- we even did it 35 years ago - where you make that circle- has to be on your body and below your waist and if your buddy looks at it, you get to punch him. The giveaway for that particular kid is that it is below his waist and touching his body.

Those you refer to are just making the sign period. with your hands holding it out and up/wherever.

Within the context of nearly everyone else in the photo giving the Nazi salute, I don't see any reason to extend the benefit of the doubt to someone making what is by now a well known alt right hate symbol.

He's a kid trying to be funny. If he were doing what some of you and the media were accusing him of he would have held it up and out. No reason to have it below his waist and touching his pants.

But i get it- we all need to have something to be outraged about even if we have to make it up in order to get there.

Wonder what it would be like to assume the worst in people- even kids- all the time and then let myself get offended by my dumbass assumptions. Pathetic way to live life, tbh.
 
So what have the closet white supremacists land on? Is it just a joke? Or is it not the Nazi salute at all? :rolleyes:

I know better, but I'm gonna bite anyway... where are you going with this?

Are we:
  1. Letting it go because we assume
    1. They don't know what it means to most
    2. They do know what it means to most
  2. Not letting it go, and
    1. Letting them FEEL the public outcry because
      1. They don't know what it means to most
      2. They do know what it means to most
    2. Letting them SEE, but not FEEL the public outcry because
      1. They don't know what it means to most
      2. They do know what it means to most
      3. Kids... lol

I feel like we should be letting them feel some public outcry, so as they transition to adulthood they know this isn't acceptable, and to pretty fair level, and just as importantly why.

But what do YOU think we should do here? What are YOU advocating for?

YOU, seattlejazzfan, see a post with a bunch of white kids in Wisconsin flashing what you know to be what is known(to a hilariously overwhelming degree) as the "white hatiest" of hand signals. What exactly do you do?

Sorry you typed that long post based on a misunderstanding. I was just talking about the one kid in front who was trying to be funny with a sign kids play to find a good excuse to punch each other.

Reading comprehension not your forte apparently.

(hint) how did i describe the how the game is played and what is the difference between placement of his sign vs the teenage boy?

Stop it. They're doing a ****ing Nazi salute. Of course he's doing this very well known white power gesture. Just stop.
 
But since I can't read the kid's mind, I'm done with the back and forth. If you want to try and sell the idea he's just playing a game that happened to look like a WP gesture, while the whole class does the HH salute that's fine. But I doubt anyone is buying.
