Here is the crazy thing about white supremacists, they aren't that bright. They have embraced it and made it a thing. there was Tarrant flashing it in court. Now this is Stormfront's top selling shirt.

It's stupid and it's humourous to me, but it's become a legit symbol of White Supremacy.

I'm guessing white supremacists don't watch a ton of bball but they must be very confused when someone hits a three and flashes this low going back up the court. Stupid is an understatement.

It still means OK. It only becomes a legit sign if you let it be a legit sign but everyone just loses their s*** over everything.

Also, quick question, but at face value, what is offensive about that image? Are white people not allowed to be proud of their heritage? Just curious.

Like, if I were a white supremecist, I'd just start adopting everything. Peace sign, thumbs up, high five. Would be funny to see people just terrified to accidentally make any of these forbidden hand signs.

What really bothers me here is the Cubs assuming the intent of the guy. How can you possibly know what he was thinking?

I will have to ban myself to continue the last part of this conversation as this isn't the place. There is zero offensive about it. And it should be OK (legitimately it is what it has always mean. In six countries in the world you will be thrown into jail to do the Sieg Heil. It was a military salute. s*** changes. If you want to flash the OK sign because you think it's funny be prepared for people to treat you like a racist now and get banned from Wrigley. It's s*** for the OK sign fans from years back but it's what it is.

What makes you think the Cubs are making an assumption? They investigated, it's possible the guy just said yep I did it because I hate black people

There’s no such thing as white heritage. There’s irish heritage, Italian heritage and so on, but white heritage is a made up things for racists to hide behind.

Yes, I know there is black heritage but there are good historical reasons for that in the states.

Cards have scored 17 tonight without a home run. Don't see that very often.

Lol ok there

Holy f***, you remember all that?

Haha yeah kinda crazy, but it's not as though one sits there and watches a perfect game on TV very often... Especially while having some skin in the game.

I know you're not this f***ing dumb, Boxy. Stormfront is not a place where white people are just like "it's super keen to be white, it's okay to be anything else, but I love my whiteness, yay!"

5ToolPhenom · May 10, 2019

There were also rumours that Beane didn't care much for JD on a personal level, which motivated the trade. As far as I'm aware, there are no such rumours about Chapman.

Yeah, Donaldson had publicly came out and was ripping on ownership and the front office management.

I don't care where it's from, if I see that without knowing, am I supposed to find it offensive?

This is what it's come to? Before deciding if an individual message is ok or not, we have to do research to make sure it doesn't have super spooky white supremecist ties?

And if they are legitimate white supremecists, who gives a s***? They are such a tiny, irrelevant faction that get way more attention than they deserve.

It's just so f***ing dumb to give an irrelevant fringe group so much power over our discourse.

Dude, one of them is the f***ing president of the united states. It's nice to imagine that they're fringe, but here we are.

Man..you just let yourself in for a whole series of dumb rationalizations about how he really isn't a white supremacist.

*shrug* I've been on the internet before, I'm used to it. If it walks like a duck, hires Steven Miller like a duck, and bans brown people from its country like a duck...

I agree, it seems pretty obvious to me as well but denial is a powerful thing.

I agree, the white nationalists (big time Jew lovers) are huge Trump fans. They absolutely love how pro Israel he is. All of those white supremecist shooters praised Trump for his support of the Jews.

Man, I totally forgot, my bad you deranged lunatics.

jmomcc · May 10, 2019

As predicted the dumb rationalizations have begun! Good stuff.

Brownie19 · May 10, 2019

So I can't use the OK hand sign anymore? Good to know.

This is another issue, that is totally 'yo-bro'. No need to actually talking about the complications of the man. Just join your clique, shout low-information one sentence statements. Endorphins hit the brain. Yo-bro!

Trumps a complicated guy, and has hung with Jesse Jackson, Herman Cain, Oprah, Ben Carson, Don King, Tiger Woods, Silk and Diamond. Nominated Herman for the Fed. All you guys are probably prejediced against Herman, because you think a black pizza guy can't do the money counting. Racists (except Boxie).

And yes, I realize that having a few Black friends doesn't make you a hero. However White Nationalists don't have a few black friends, they don't have a Jewish son in law, they are not friends of Isreal.

Trump can still be a villian (if that rocks your boat) without being a white nationalist. He can even be subtly racist. That mother f***er only put Ben Carson in his cabinet. Should of put 3 other black guys. OK. He's just not 110% white nationalist.

Please tell me when and how Donald Trump banned browned people from the USA. I’m dying to hear this

The left has no care for ever having facts straight. As long as we say it often enough it has to be true!

This is easily your best post of all time. Well done Olerud

Yes, people are complicated but also you can’t be a white nationalist unless you fit into these extremely narrow parameters. Good point!
