SotC celebrated by taking pictures of themselves throwing up KKK signs with the statue.

i don't think Robert E. Lee would have approved of the level of break in those pants

Hitler would be outraged

Proud Boys showing up at Raleigh protests. Some local people here in Wilmington have photos of dudes in PB hats at the Wilmington protests last night as well

This is also from Raleigh:

It's Double Secret Undercover Antifa.

People out there think The National are the leaders of Antifa: https://news.avclub.com/the-nationals-a ... 1843823181

Why the fuck do these alt right gangs have the lamest names ever? Proud Boys? Boogaloo Boiz? Sounds like a gay sex orgy, not a violent racist gang.

I recall a bar doorman I used to work with who had a Celtic cross on his arm. I had no idea it was a white nationalist symbol. I attended a Catholic university so I spotted it and asked him about it, thinking we had some theology in common. Nope. His answer was simply, "I'm kinda into the Crusades. Like, really into them." Biggest WTF moment I had in a while. That was back in 2016. So very fucking happy that dude doesn't work here anymore.

Not sure appealing to Boston culture really helps make the case for it not being racist.

lol beat me to it.

Sully might be racist but that's not why he got the Celtic Cross tattoo. It's just a coincidence.

I don't think the Celtic Cross is automatically a Nazi symbol but I'm not convinced anyone who has that tattoo isn't at least somewhat invested in a mythic white Euro identity/heritage that is on some deeper level problematic.

Celtics fans are racist

Yikes. Literally thousands of guys from Charleston who’ve had this tattoo only because they’re proud of their Irish Catholic heritage.

Uh yes precisely.

Once you slap it on a minority owned LGBT business...well....

Your Ivy League understanding/opinion on the issue is probably vastly different from that of someone who was born and raised in Charleston, and is generally trying to demonstrate a core solidarity with their immediate community.

This is the very sort of liberal elitism that is fucking gross.

I hate everyone and everything that is not me right now
