Yeah, that’s fine, but why is he using “88”?
I may agree or disagree with the point he is making here, I don’t know, I haven’t read it.
But the fact that he is dealing with racial issues with the subtext “88” either means this guy is an complete idiot, or he is using the well known code “88” which some fags use to mean “HH”: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_(number)
Looks like he’s using 888, not 88.
Actually he is using "888" ("Three Eights") which is considered extremely lucky number in Asian, and particularly in Chinese, cultures. Number "8" in itself is considered the symbol of luck / fortune / wealth / prosperity.
During the Internet boom of late 1990s there was a mad rush among many Asian/Chinese websites to register URLs that had 888 in their names (e.g., www.888webtoday.com was registered in December 1999 by Gerald B. McGlothlin).
