On Tuesday, I posted a salute to Usain Bolt for showing respect to the American national anthem. It is honorable for a person to show respect during the playing of another nation’s anthem and should be noted.
I was, however, a bit hesitant to salute Mr. Bolt because in the few interviews I had seen he was boastful about his accomplishments on the track. After posting my salute to Mr. Bolt I saw a picture which showed him and three girls from the Swedish Olympic handball team flashing gang signs (see the photo at Lawrence Auster’s VFR ). Had I seen him doing this sort of thing beforehand, I likely would not have posted the salute. A man in his position should not publicly engage in this behavior. In private, a silly attempt to be amusing is one thing, but seemingly condoning and promoting gang culture publicly is something that no celebrity should do.
What the photo says about the girls from the Swedish handball team is what we already know to be true: the West has romanticized black-macho-gang culture to the point that a gang sign has the same meaning for some whites as the two-finger peace sign had for hippies in the 1960s. Both symbols show the world that the person is “cool” and fully in synch with the leftist zeitgeist.

*Yes. Bolt is endlessly promoted because he is diverse and non-white. He’s just a harmless, jive-talking clown. I’ve seen the pictures they show of him with white girls. This whole olympics has been one big diversity extravaganza. You’d get the impression that America is 75% black, which is clearly a lie.
I was interested in his little rivalry with fellow black Carl Lewis. Of course both are on the sause. Bolt naturally denies this, claiming that he just trains hard. LOL! What would the public think when they learn that he gets his results from a bottle. The olympics from one POV is chemical warfare. Some people know this, others don’t. As for their drug testing, sport without drugs is like drag racing sans fuel.

*Has it occurred to you that this particular hand gesture may have a different meaning in Jamaica

*This event illustrates the dilemma we are in with regards to blacks. There is on the one hand no reason to think Usain Bolt has any kind of intellectual game plan that has him show respect for America in one instance and then flash gangs signs with white girls in another instance. But then again, there is every reason to believe that he understands his racially-imperialistic celebrity role. Don’t these black athletes PARTY with blacks females, take pictures and then upload? The white male liberal has a problem acknowledging the sexually-imperial nature of these now routine events. “America” is by and large responsible for making Usain Bolt a very wealthy and admired “sprinter.” LOL. Only in America can you make millions for running 100 meters and then stopping. Usain Bolt “respects” that. How could he not? But he is also deep down inside very aware of the black man’s fundamental meme. He gets with the white girl and the white male liberal can’t fathom that this is an act of sexual imperialism. He is thus aghast at his own cowardly intellectual imagination.
The real point is not whether or not Usain Bolt understrands the method to his madness (I think he is just a sprinter and not much more), but that his role is undeniable. He is a conventional mechanism used to emasculate the white male.

I doubt he even knows what it means. He probably just saw it in some video. I’ve seen plenty of people even in Japan flash these signs because its popular and they saw it in videos. He’s obviously not a crip.
