But is this tanatamount to encouraging that kind of behaviour ?I agree that if someone actually starts up with racist posts then we deal with them - them alone and on their own merit.
Talking about racism is not racism.
Making stupid pictures which are clearly taking the piss out of right-wing racists is not racist.
I know it's not the sort of thing that people are meant to say when people have been upset by something, but learn to differentiate the menu from the meal.
Like someone above says, lets show people that stupid conical hats are just that, stupid ... if if these things are left as taboo then the imagery maintains its power and as such becomes aluring to those who seek it.
If everyone took the piss out of the KKK et al then who would want to be associated with that symbology? 'Fear me, I look a bit like WizBit !!', yeah right.
