It's the only time you'll ever see most of these people - even in a photoshop - dressed for battle.

3. Donald Trump Jr. Shares White Supremacist Meme

Just two months after the Trump campaign got into trouble for tweeting an image that was widely seen as anti-Semitic, 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 controversial comments 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.”

The image, which plays off Sylvester Stallone’s geriatric action movie The Expendables, shows Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his sons alongside such “hard working men” as prominent conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Breitbart commentator Milo Yiannopoulos—who was banned from Twitter for inciting hateful rhetoric—and Pepe the Frog, an amphibian meme that has been appropriated by Trump’s “alt-right” followers, some of whom use the image to peddle racism, anti-Semitism, and white nationalism.

Roger Stone, a longtime Trump ally, tweeted the same image on Saturday, while former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who is running for Senator in Louisiana, tweeted his own version of the meme, boasting the tagline: “Anti-Racist is a code word for anti-white.”

It's disgusting that the media would allow the campaign to get away with this shit over and over and over again.

One of the dog whistle words for the alt right.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Anti-racist_is_a_code_word_for_anti-white

"Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white" is a straw man phrase used by white nationalists, white separatists, white supremacists and their ilk. Individuals who make this claim allege that the real bigots are actually the people who claim to be anti-racists, as they have a secret anti-white agenda. This phrase can be found copied and pasted in any comments section of a YouTube video or other web page discussing racial matters.

Usually when I place text on top of a picture I either use a contrasting color or make the letters all one color with a border to make it stand out.

Thanks for the explanation - I have stayed away from racist/alt right stuff as much as possible.

Not to be confused with the other Trump spokesperson John Miller, aka Donald Trump.
