The latest fabricated controversy over “white supremacist symbols” has shown two things. The first is that you don’t have to be smart to be a Jeopardy! contestant. The second is that there is a far greater cultural demand for white supremacists to fight against than there are white supremacists.
Establishment media rushed to the ramparts to fight the spread of white supremacy West Point cadets. That was just the same gesture Donohue used in a different context: the “circle game,” where you make a circle with your thumb and index finger and punch whoever looks at it. That same schoolyard game was enough for the Chicago Cubs to a fan from their ballpark for life and for baseball analyst Doug Glanville to write a whole self-pitying piece about how he was the victim of “racial taunting.”
The search for white supremacists is so rabid that a San Diego Gas and Electric Employee was for incidentally making that same hand symbol while cracking his knuckles. He was a Mexican-American.
