Drinking milk, carrying a necklace of Thors hammer or wearing DocMarten boots are also not symbols of white power per se. Doesn't mean they have not been actively used that way for ages.

I’m not saying you’re wrong that some wackos do identify around all that but I don’t think they’re that dangerous. Protesters are pouring milk on themselves as defense against pepper spray.

That kind of thinking leaves you entirely unequipped to spot actual white supremacy. Like, white supremacists use it as their code language, and rely on you saying ‘nah, it’s just innocent’ to continue creeping into the mainstream. What is the point if pretending these symbols are not used in a racist context?

Drinking milk is white supremacist?


It is used that way symbolicly sometimes in racist videos yes. Both because black people are often lactose intolerant and ofc. the colour of the liquid.

Does not mean drinking milk is racist, just like dressing like Thor, especially if one is at comic con, is not racist per se.

I understand the whole “watch out for subliminal racism” concern but I don’t want to think about white supremacy every time I see a carton of milk, I need them.
