Does it matter which hand is used?

 

Not on Patriots.  Apparently, all that matters is that 3 fingers are extended, then you are racist.  

With democrats, it's a sign of love and inclusion.  It's funny how they ignore it when the left uses it.

To me it's a matter of rubbish.  Look at the person's actions.   Most people who are into white power have no problem actually telling you they are.

Not really right to paint everyone with a big brush.  But the media will do that.   I used to think it was ignorance.   I don't think so anymore.

There's a guy in the background scratching his ear two posts up.

There is a group of the Aryan Brotherhood called Peckerwoods who use it as a hand signal.

Seriously.

My bet is she had no idea these guys were going to flash that sign.   They might not even be the real thing.  Lots of people do things they don't totally understand.

The hand gesture is likely as old as the first person to notice they had an opposable digit.

It could mean nothing.  It could mean a lot.  It's subject to context.

Sorry if the facts aren't apparent and you think I've provided you with pseudo-intellectualism on this topic.  I do agree it could be a mater of context such as the famous military picture you mentioned.

You asked a question.  I answered it.

Here's a link.

When I was a teenager, me and my friends all developed different ways of flipping the bird.  We all had our signature presentation.  We flipped it back and forth jokingly, no big deal.  Then here comes adultery, and it's considered an obscene gesture.  It's blurred out on local news and tame networks, and referred to as obscene.  It's funny, but if I got the bird on the interstate, I'd probably just smile and wave back, no big deal.  Or if I had done something stupid in traffic, maybe a shoulder shrug and attempted 'sorry'.  That gesture has absolutely zero offense or meaning to me.  

What we need is a one finger gesture for 'my bad'.  Maybe an extended pinky.  Then we could drive around the streets throwing middle fingers and pinkies.

1.  Don't whitey deserve at least one gang sign.  

2.  It represents the joke about a choke hold on a ethiopion, because they don't have that dirt, water, seed relationship figuired out (still).  

 

I thought it was a dollar sign
