You really shouldn’t use the phrase “on drugs” to describe a person who is economically and psychologically empowered

Wait that's Lyon Cohen .... my head hurts
Anyways the OK sign is widel recognized as an alt right thing but of course it's possible that this is not the reference, but its proximity to the maga hat ... idk, feels bad man

His internal struggle with white acceptance is a common theme in his music and life, is it not? Looking at this through a MAGA-world lens, it's not surprising that it reads as more in your face, pro-white supremacy in this context.
― Cousin Slappy, Wednesday, 25 April 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link
no no matter what you say i will not admit that kanye has been like this all along and the context has merely shifted!!!!

i mean i think it's just his 'i'm next to a rapper pose' (which is also y'know suspect)
also don't think widely recognised is the right term for something only recognised by very online people

A piece on the hand signal. I always looks at it as this bit of trolling that backfired because it started as “we're gonna troll the left into thinking this non-racist thing is racist” which led to it effectively becoming a racist signal after photos of noted white supremacists doing it.
