        I bet they’ll say they were just underlining with reckless abandon but we know better.

          Agreed, having an easy excuse that it was just an unintentional misunderstanding is how racist dog whistles work.

          I assume it is intentional because of the context too.

      They didn’t cross out trader Joe’s, mini, gingerbread, gingerbread, with, icing, either… They didn’t even really cross out cookies or fudge, they just underlined men. So no, they didn’t “cross out everything but white”

        In the reference section of the Library of Memes. An old tome almost calls to you. You pull it down, coughing in the cloud of dust it’s collected. Laying it on a table it opens to a weathered dog eared page almost as if the book’s spine knows. Between incomprehensible matrices of inside jokes long forgotten and dead hyperlinks to Rick Astley are two words that bring a sudden rush of clarity and understanding almost lost to ages. “Fuck Steve”
