DONALD TRUMP JR. SHARES WHITE SUPREMACIST MEME

Apparently, Don Jr. is happy to be in the company of Pepe the Frog. [quote]Just two months after the Trump campaign got into trouble for tweeting an image that was [url=http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/07/donald-trump-tweet-frozen]widely seen as anti-Semitic[/url], a member of the Republican nominee’s family is at it again. On Sunday, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of Donald Trump, proudly promoted the above Instagram post, which includes a meme frequently shared by white supremacists. “Apparently I made the cut as one of the Deplorables,” he wrote, referring to a series of [url=http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/09/clinton-basket-of-deplorables]controversial comments[/url] Hillary Clinton recently made about Trump’s supporters. “All kidding aside I am honored to be grouped with the hard working men and women of this great nation that have supported@realdonaldtrump [sic] and know that he can fix the mess created by politicians in Washington.” [/quote] I can't even literally believe this. I'm shaking. http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/09/donald-trump-jr-pepe-[url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]-instagram http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a48514/trump-surrogates-white-supremacist-meme/

  • Alright, plebs, time to learn about Pepe Pepe is a derivative of the Feels Good meme that 4chan created like 2yrs, 3rs ago. Then the normies (you kids and the media) took it over and started posting frogs until the meme died out. On 4chan though, our lord and saviour Kek (Pepe), god of chaos and destruction, was still alive and well Then the /Stormweenies/ got exiled from the "alt-right" (nonexistent boogyman) and now, to be edgelords, we post Nаzi frogs just to piss people off and to fully saturate the world in Meme Magic Yesterday, our lord Kek nearly smited Hillary and our Meme Magic grows only stronger. Learn more on the toxic waste dump that me and my fellow Anons and Pepe at 4chan's /pol/. Bask in the glory that is Pepe REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    I mean.. the Klan has been using the cross as one of their symbols for literally ever. Should we start demanding churches be shut down for promoting white supremacy?

    • I don't know why but I can't see this as bad other than the fact he is trying to make it seem like all of his political allies of his father are hard working men. [spoiler]that last bit hurt to say [/spoiler]

    • For those who don't understand the premise behind this thread, i.e. our rare friend the Pepe supposedly being a symbol of white supremacy, this is a perfect example showcasing what a lot of #OffTopic users so desperately need to learn about trolling. Instigating people, angering them, inciting a response, etc, is not trolling. "God is not real XD 😂😂😂" is not trolling. Just being an asshole to people is not trolling. You are not trolls, you're just insecure teens being assholes because of your anonymity. Making people believe a cartoon frog is a symbol of white supremacy by playing on their lack of familiarity with the Internet [i]is trolling[/i]. Not only is it comical, but it also forces uninformed people to question it as if there might actually be a chance that this cartoon frog is a symbol of white supremacy. Creating a plausibility in this being true when it's obviously not makes this a good troll. How do you know when your troll is successful? When you have people writing with belief in your pseudo-truth.

      • I'm sorry, but how is this promoting white supremacy? It's a picture of people from the Trump Campaign plastered to a movie poster with the caption "the deplorables." Is Pepe the frog a symbol of white supremacy? I don't get it.

        • Is it because the African American man is in the back?

        • I'm not sure I understand the problem. Then again, I think I'm one of the "oldies" that the article describes so I wouldn't.
