Study Finds Use of Gang Signs by Middle Class Whites on the Rise
The Daily Rash ^ | unknown | Mark Donahue

Posted on 09/25/2012 7:14:38 PM PDT by HollyW

PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY – A recent study by the Department of Sociology at Princeton found that up to 98% of middle class white adults flash or “throw” gang signs when they are being photographed. The three year study also reveals that 99.9% of those throwing the gang signs have never been in a gang, haven’t the slightest idea what the sign they are throwing means and do not listen to rap music.

“It is a perplexing phenomenon for sure,” Professor Allen Clydesdale told the Daily Rash. “It was quite surprising to meet a thirty-year-old physical therapist from Beardstown, Missouri, who subscribes to Readers Digest and leads a quilting group at the local library admit she practices throwing gang signs in front of a mirror at home.”

“Sure I throw a gang sign every now and then. It’s a way for me to let the world know that I’m not a typical suburban thirty-something who doesn’t have a clue. I have a clue! Gang signs are just one of the ways I telegraph that to others. I also have a unicorn tattoo on my shoulder,” Gladys Sullivan told The Daily Rash on her lunch break at Mount Monocle Hospital in Beardstown.

“I have a clue! ... I also have a unicorn tattoo on my shoulder,”

Something is not quite right with this woman...

LOL! This starts in the schools. The only way to keep from getting killed is to join’em. You sure as hell can’t beat’em!

“Stackin’” by clueless white people is no joke. They are unwittingly paying homage to one of the most destructive forces in American society.

Fricking idiots.

I am hoping this is satire. I would never “throw” a gang sign. It’s a damn quick way to die.

Whatever. How much did this ‘study’ cost the taxpayers? Did they include making ‘rabbit ears’ behind an unsuspecting school mate during a photo shoot for the annual?

It’s all the rage - a fad, I guess.

The thing that concerns me is that a lot of these signs and gestures are satanic, and even if people are ignorant of their meaning there may be spiritual implications or even consequences.

Sometimes I think that if someone throws me one of those odd little hand gestures I might reply with an ancient Aaronic blessing - not that many people know what that looks like.

All it means, essentially, is that I don’t associate with gangs; I’m with G*D.

Some one ought to come up with some of these “signs” for showing affiliation with Christianity, Conservatism, being a Veteran and such.

Of course flashing the wrong “sign” in the wrong place could probably get one killed these days. It would take courage to sign “I’m with Jesus” in the middle of Lucifer’s turf.

Even better, the ones flashing gang signs, making duck faces, AND taking a picture of themselves via the mirror!

“A recent study by the Department of Sociology at Princeton”

I saw this and stopped reading. Just another “Angry Studies” survey.

“The Daily Rash” is satire - similar to “The Onion”. See their about page.

Barbarians.

Barbarians invading America from out of our inner cities and barbarians streaming across our southern border.

How can America survive?
