“Traffic Cone Dances” of this type are an expression of anguish and frustration, the crying out, if you will, of a systemically oppressed people. It is typical of a white supremacist orthodoxy to label and shame these celebrations of culture, these profound symbols of identity and individualistic expression, as “crimes.” It is no wonder, then, that the celebrants are called “perpetrators.” Semiological murder, the misappropriation of signs and symbols, the re-labeling of the cultural motifs of the downtrodden have always been weapons used by oppressor classes (whites, Jews, capitalists, etc.) to further their hegemonic aims and increase the scope of their race-dominance.
