Some People Aren't Happy Unless They Have Something to be Offended by.......

There is also that stupid “don’t get caught looking game”

Definitely never thought Saturday Night Live would send me into a tornado of existential despair. But here we are.

I'm no fan of Musk (I think he's an appalling person, albeit a very rich appalling person - e.g., his reference to one of the heroes of the Thai boys rescue as a 'pedo guy') but I doubt that he was using these signs as any kind of 'white power' thing. However, anyone with a shred of intelligence and awareness would avoid it in such a high profile gig.

Again, palms out, not the same thing at all.

At the racist white power club meeting.

"Okay, new initiates, today we're going to learn the secret signal that we use so that we know who are friends when we are out in public."

"But aren't we all here? Don't we already know each other?"

"Well, we know everyone in the room, but you will find supporters all of the country, the world even, if you know what to look for. You will be surprised by how many people know about us and support our cause . . . if you know what to look for."

"So we hold up these three fingers like so. No, not four fingers, three fingers. No, no, not those three fingers, these three fingers! Not with that hand, with this hand."

"What if someone lost their hand, could they do it with their other hand then?"

"Yes, there is an exception in the rule book for that. Everyone knows that. But you are holding those fingers up at the wrong angle. The angle is everything. And don't bend those fingers like that. C'mon, be serious now. If you hold the fingers up wrong, you can be mistaken for one of these people [showing pictures above in thread of known non-racists]."

"What happens if people learn about our secret signal, won't it mean we can't use it anymore?"

and so on.

Who ever claimed that it was intended to be a secret signal?
