See this:
That is known as a peace sign. It is universally accepted as such. Whether it is used by white celebrities
Or white presidents
Or international superstars
Or a young black boy
The message is the same and it means "Peace!" It doesn't suddenly become a gang sign because you have a desperate need to make it so. It is now and has always been a peace sign, CNN.
And the funny thing is - and this is nothing short of earth shattering - even if it were a gang sign, I am not aware that murderers are seers. That the cops knew that somewhere in his past Michael Brown took a photo of himself showing off a gang sign and thus he deserves to be shot 10 times for the unforgivable crime of walking while black. We do not kill our citizens because they flash gang signs. We do not kill our citizens because they are suspected of selling illegal cigarettes. We do not kill our citizens because they hold toy guns. We do not kill our citizens because they are walking with iced tea and skittles. We do not kill our citizens because they play loud music. We do not kill our citizens because they are injured in car crashes and have the temerity to ask for help.
Or do we?
